A very good day...................... from Exuberant Color

My son came over yesterday morning to fix my 8 ft. burned out lights at the bottom of the basement stairs. He removed the ballast and then rewired it and now it takes the skinny LED 8 foot bulbs. He ended up staying another 2 hours helping with other things I can't do. I didn't eat lunch until 2:30 and didn't get around the the quilting on this plaid baby quilt until evening. The quilting is finished but I didn't want to go down to the basement to do the trimming or choose binding late ...

Basting and quilting...................... from Exuberant Color

After wrapping the Christmas gifts for the family party, I started basting this plaid baby quilt.

When I got home from the party at 8:30 last night I finished the basting and started the machine quilting on my Pfaff. I think I can get the rest of the quilting done today and trim and bind it.

They are predicting 57 degrees on Sunday and rain. It's just for one day before the frigid air gets here again.

Finish #6 for December 2025........................ from Exuberant Color

I started the day yesterday making 3 batches of Chex Mix to take to the family party tonight. Late in the afternoon I worked on the quilting of this flannel tumbler baby quilt and finished the quilting last night. It is 39" square.

This photo is a little dark and I didn't have any luck trying to lighten it. The binding is the same fabric as the backing.

This is closer to the true color of the backing flannel. I used Hobbs 80/20 batting in the quilt.

Now I have 3 little flannel quilts made. I may be ...

Prep day................ from Exuberant Color

A couple days ago I pieced batting and yesterday I cut it to size for this baby quilt. I just need to press the center crease out of the backing and then it can be basted and quilted.

I pieced another piece of batting large enough for this flannel tumbler baby quilt. I think it will be the next one to baste and quilt.

I needed to piece the batting for this one with white thread since there are all white backgrounds in the top. I found a piece of white Dream Cotton batting that I could use. I had ...

Finish #5 for December 2025 from Exuberant Color

The binding was cut yesterday afternoon and last night I sewed it on, finished by machine. This little quilt is 30" x 39.25". It is flannel and in the Bullseye Log Cabin pattern. It has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it and I quilted it on my Pfaff.

It took only a one yard piece of flannel for the back of the quilt. The binding is a medium tan, darker than the light fabrics and lighter than the dark fabrics.

It was so dark yesterday morning that I had to move this cactus plant to the bathroom to take ...

Quilting finished................ from Exuberant Color

I wasn't sure this one was going to bloom. It was a bud for more than 3 weeks. This pot is on my kitchen windowsill, west exposure.

Since I am only a little over 5' I am looking across at this pot when I'm standing at the sink. I kept thinking this pot had 4 pieces that had broken off my pale pink cactus plant, but when I looked closer it is just 2 pieces.

I did have one more thing to bake yesterday and then PT in the afternoon. Last night I finished the quilting on this ...

Baking first, sewing last...................... from Exuberant Color

I started the day yesterday baking the other Kringlas, different than the ones I baked last week. The dough was refrigerated overnight.

Next I baked the pink Spritz. It was a relief to have my oven fixed to bake these. I did the previous batch that were for my son's customers last week in the little countertop electric oven and it was tricky getting them out before they got too dark.

A little later in the day I baked the chocolate spritz. After that I made one more batch of fudge. Now I have enough of everything to mail ...

Late fall updates from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

…or holy cow, it’s December! Keeping it real…

Lighter decorating happened this year for Christmas

I finished the baby quilt top a couple of weeks ago. I walked into my fabric room the next day looking for an appropriate fabric for the backing, and spied one of the fleece throws the Hubs and I purchased at Goodwill almost two years ago when we were shopping for our new puppies. One of the throws has since been quilted and we sometimes use it as a cover for the back seat for them when we travel. After I purchased some Pellon ...

Retreat! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Let the good times roll, if only for about 48 hours!

I joined the Northwest Arkansas MQG this year. Katrina is the current president of the chapter and told me I needed to go to the retreat. I signed up even though I didn’t have my heart in it at the time because at this point in my life, who wants to schlep all that stuff, especially a 45-pound sewing machine?

One of the luxuries of retirement for me is being able to have a bit more time for planning and packing. While the retreat was only for two ...

Camp Kintail Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

This post features my projects from last weekend's Crafters retreat at Camp Kintail, but first I want to show you my finished Fall cross stitch...TaDa! I started this project at the beginning of September and have added stitches to it steadily until this week, when I added the last few. As I have said before, I love the transparency where the trees overlap and the bright colours in this picture. I will have it framed shortly and hang it up for the Fall next year. I have a couple of embroidery kits that I would like to work ...

SWEET MAE PATTERN TEST! from Kwilty Pleasures

I was thrilled when asked to pattern test for Katie Zahm.

The Sweet Mae Pattern was adorable.

I began with some Zen Chic FQs some

friends had given me as gifts.

The line was called Frisky.

I chose a spotted GRUNGE for a background fabric.

It was such a fun design that began with a star!

I committed to make one block

To test her pattern instructions, and

If time allowed I’d make 4 blocks

For the baby Quilt size.

Even though each block contained 81 pieces

It was such a rewarding make.

I ended up making 6 blocks ...

Every Which Way - Updated Pattern! from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I'm excited to share a sweet little baby quilt that I made recently.

I made this quilt for one of my nieces who just had the most darling baby boy!

Her mom told me she likes "earthy" colors so I picked out this color palette of

blues, greens, blacks, browns, and oranges. The prints are masculine and

geometric. There are even some wovens and a chambray to add a little texture.

All of the fabrics came from my stash! I love when I can do that!

I used my Every Which Way pattern, which was one ...

More Baby Quilts from The Quilt Yarn

The cute little Teddy Bear Baby Quilt is finished

This is so very cute! I used the Handiquilter Multi Clamshell tool to quilt the 4in clamshells over it. Works every time and looks great on baby quilts.

Also finished my special baby quilt ready for the new arrival

The fabrics in this one are just gorgeous...soft and playful in apricot/pink tones. You probably cannot see this but the fabric has a bit of a cottage/farm theme. Really pretty. It is from Art Gallery Fabrics...a selection of 'Cottage Grove' fabrics. The pattern will be available in my ...

Walking Foot Quilting from The Cozy Quilter

I finished off the quilting and binding of the hollow 9 patch baby quilt earlier this week and got to work on quilting my yellow and green potato chip quilt. I am using 28 wt green thread on top and white 50 wt thread in the bobbin. This is a bigger quilt so it is taking longer to quilt...more material to manage as I quilt. I will work on this again soon--I'm hoping to have it done to show on next week's blog post. This is a donation quilt.

And here is the big TaDa! The hollow ...

Sunday Stash July 27, 2025 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers, but I made some progress.

I finished stitching Northern Bluebird by Crossed Wing Collection.

It’s stitched on 28 count Wheat Lugana using the called for DMC. The design is 4.5 inches tall.

I also finished the Simply Charming top. No pattern, just me playing with a partial charm pack I bought at the Donation Sale last August.

I added a few fabrics to fill out the blocks, plus sashing fabric. I basted it yesterday but haven’t decided how to quilt it.

I hope to finish it before the next Donation Sale.

Fabric ...

Rug Hooking, Knitting and a RSC Baby Quilt in Progress from The Cozy Quilter

After making 6 purple hollow nine patch blocks last week, I took out the bag of blocks that I have made so far this year and discovered that I had enough to make a baby quilt. I took them to the guild sewing day this week and laid them out on the design wall as shown above. I sewed them together and today, pin basted it and started the quilting--diagonal lines in both directions through each square.

I'm using 28wt white thread in the top and 50 wt white in the bobbin. The backing was in my stash.

I ...

Finished a small one................ from Exuberant Color

I made the top for this quilt in February, using the 6" Bow Tie dies so the blocks are 3" finished. All of the fabrics in the blocks are Kaffe Fassett collective prints, a large variety in the larger piece and in the triangles. I think I would call this exuberant pastel because of the large scale prints which appear darker. It is 34.5" x 45".

The cute print on the back is flannel that I found on sale. The binding is a gray print I found in my stack of grays.

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting in ...

An old UFO off the to do list from The Cozy Quilter

My 10 year old Sashiko project is finally completely done and can go out on display!

I stitched in the ditch around the navy part and then did three rows of quilting in the border. The binding is on. I didn't do any quilting in the sashiko panel--I could still add some if I decide later that it needs it.

The backing is a fat quarter I had in my stash.

I had a chance to knit several times in the last week and added another 5 inches to my scarf. It is 56" long now.

I finished the ...

Orange Month for the RSC from The Cozy Quilter

Orange is the colour for June for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge so I dug into my 2.5" squares bin and pulled out all of the orange squares. I cut a few from my orange fat quarter bin to add some variety before making 6 orange hollow nine patch blocks. I am getting quite a stack of these blocks! When I run out of the centre squares, I will put the blocks together to make a quilt.

I continue to knit away on my scarf when the mood hits me...Maybe it will be done in time to wear it ...
