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

Ever had a project you had to make that you couldn’t get going on because you were bored with it before you started it? 

And it’s not an awful thing—this is the secret project I mentioned starting a few blog posts back. A few weeks ago, it was in limbo. 

So I mentioned in that post that I was thinking of proceeding on a different path and only for the purpose of making it easier. I should say there is nothing hard about this project, it’s more about being bored with it right out of the ...

Finally Finished—IMT Cabana Huts from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter


Only 20 years in a Bin!

Last week was a euphoria-filled week. I quilted every day—and tried a couple of new-to-me techniques. But first, look at this label:







Obs, it was not finished in 2018, but that was the original intent. That’s also the year I went back to college and my quilting took a hiatus. After 3 semesters, my health let me know that maybe I didn’t need to further my primary career and by that time, and my workload had increased due to some staffing issues. Now that I’ve retired I would like to ...

All the stuff from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

My words for this year are “catalog” and “organization”—Nothing romantic about that, is there? 

Combined with the annual "I need to hibernate" feeling, January comes with mixed blessings.

People who know me are aware of my ability to apply logic, reasoning and sequencing when processing a way to do or complete a task, assignment or project. It was probably one of my top skill sets in my career. That sort of goes out the window when I’m quilting…when I say “Quilting is my crack,” it’s the truth. I go into that euphoric state, even if it ...

Ok; what's next? from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

I am hopeful that 2025 is a year of discovery, fun, family and friend gatherings...but mostly, quilting!


Hey, it is what it is! I spent the bulk of my first month of retirement just relaxing, and that was good for me. Very little happened in the way of quilting other than tearing off the foundation paper from the Tattoo Quilt and adding sashing to the blocks. In the crafting area, I played with my ScanNCut and cut out names from vinyl for each of our granddogs and grandcats (and our own Jolene and Jedi) and adhered them to bandanas ...

It’s been a while. Let’s catch up. from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

…but let me catch my breath. 

So…a lot has been happening. Others may not think so much, but this old gal just retired last week after working full time for the last 49 years and I am exhausted. 

Tattoo Quilt: All blocks and center panel are pieced, and I’m almost done ripping off the paper! And yes, it is the ONLY project I have worked on this year. 

Studio: I had been researching electronic or digital cutters. After going down the YouTube rabbit hole, I borrowed Cindy’s ScanNCut. End result was going to the Brother dealer to ...
