Kris Kringle Panel Kit - Progress / Card Holder from Grandma's Red Needle

Happy October!

How is it we are into October already?! I'm not sure how that happened?!

This week I've been working on the Kris Kringle Panel Kit

UFO #19 on my 2026 UFO list

I usually don't buy kits, but I couldn't resist this cute guy!

I love Teresa Kogut designs. I haven't done any of her cross stitching designs, not yet, but I have a few I really want to purchase. Maybe a Christmas gift to myself?!

The top is done

The pattern is well written and very easy to follow. I was a ...

Divine Reunion quilt – click here to download the pattern

Divine Reunion is a quilt I designed for the panel in the Silent Night collection by Studio 731 for Blank Quilting. The quilt measures 43-1/2″ x 63-1/2″, and it would be perfect as a wall hanging or a throw.

Although I am partial to red and green for the Holidays, I love the colorway in this collection. The teal adds a modern flair to a very traditional theme, don ...

Unboxing Kris Kringle Panel Quilt Kit from Grandma's Red Needle

I was going to continue quilting 'Solstice' this Monday morning, but after a couple of seams, this is what happened:

Mini-Bug found the best place to rest after being outside for more than two hours!

I need to move the quilt to be able to sew, but that won't work as long as he sleeps there!

I have a couple of UFOs as WIPs:

- Solstice: continue quilting, 10 blocks out of 25 left to quilt

- Basket Wall Quilt - waiting for binding fabric

This morning, I unboxed the Kris Kringle kit (Teresa Kogut). I purchased the kit in 2023 or ...

Newington from Sew Preeti Quilts

Meet Newington.

A New Finish!

Designed in EQ8 and made with fabrics from Island Batik collections, Newington is a Christmas quilt finishing at 76" by 100" published in "Let's Make it Merry" (A Quilter's World publication).

Published

On News Stands

I used the Greens from the Everlasting collection and the Reds/Pinks from Everlasting and Hello Sunshine collections.

Everlasting

EQ8 Original Mock-up

It was a joy to play with these beautiful pinks and greens. While the red/green color palette is definitely evocative of Christmas, the softening of the reds into pinks makes Newington a fitting ...

Christmas Is Coming from Loose Threads

The question of the day is:

Who doesn't need another Christmas quilt?

That's what I thought when I saw these blocks on Joy's blog: Days Filled With Joy

I've finished blocks 1 and 2.

Joy is generously offering these blocks as a free block of the month called Floral Baubles. (Thank you Joy!) Joy leaves them up on her blog free for a month.

Joy is doing her star points scrappy, but I decided to alternate mine with red on the first month.

And, I did green for the second month.

The blocks come out on ...

Midweek: a flimsy, stash report, and first quarter roundup from With Strings Attached

It's a flimsy!

I auditioned a couple of red/green prints for the border but nothing looked right (or I didn't have enough) so I used the background.

64" x 72". 6 yards in all.

Here's a closeup.

Several people have commented on how small the 9ps are. I cut 1-1/2" strips and the blocks are 3-1/2 (3" finished). I don't think that is that small. Maybe it's all the practice I had with the mini-9p swap I participated in for so many years.

RSC 2026 Week 4 - January is BLUE from Grandma's Red Needle

A new year is here, and so is RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge - hosted by Angela at SuperScrappy

I have yet to decide how much I'll participate in the RSC this year. Definitely not as much as the previous years.

I'm drowning in RSC blocks from the last 3 years and my goal is to make those into flimsies (some are done already, it has been some busy weeks sewing). It's even better if they can be finished, at least some of them!

Last year, I did part of Sherri McConnell's BOM 2025 in RSC colors. I ...

Projects to Start the New Year from Loose Threads

Hello Friends and Happy New Year

I’ve seen other bloggers post their goals for 2026. I tend to work on what I’m in the mood for at the time. Right now I’m working on Christmas projects that I’ve started over the years and never finished. I usually get them out each year, look at them, and after Christmas is over they go back into hiding until the next year. I have 4 that I’ve started. I’d like to finish at least 2 of them before I move on to something else.

If you’ve ...

Christmas Decorating, Knitting and Crochet from Loose Threads

I’m not sure where the time has gone, but December is half over already. My favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with family and friends. My second favorite thing is decorating the house for Christmas. I love pulling out all my old favorite decorations to enjoy for the month (or maybe more). I’ve made quilts, cross stitch and crocheted things that I love to unpack and display. I wish I could show you everything, but for now I’ll start with the guest room. Here is the quilt I made a few years ago. This was ...

Think outside the box!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OH MY --- I LOVE the Christmas gift exchange idea that was posted as a comment on the blog yesterday. Give a recycled item in good condition to someone! Of course, you don't spring this on people - you ask first if they are OK with the concept. It must have been a hit because they are doing it again this year. An elegant way to recycle and gift at the same time. I love it! Imagine the conversations you could have about the items you are giving? That would be the best part!

And I have several suggestions for fixing ...

A little Christmas quilt from Wendy's Quilts and More

I'm going to donate this little Christmas quilt at our guild meeting tomorrow. Each year our guild members make a special donation of Christmas sewing to our local hospital - Hutt Hospital.

The hospital staff like to make Christmas Day special for the children stuck in hospital for Christmas. Our members donate more than 50 stockings each year.

One of our guild members passed away quite suddenly this year, and her friends have been working through her stash trying to ensure it all gets used. A couple of months ago they gave each of us a brown paper bag with ...

Weekly update: AIC, quilt show, the end of an era, a finish! and a flimsy from With Strings Attached

I've had ample opportunities to go downtown to see the Caillebotte exhibit at the Art Institute, but it took a "closing soon!" email to get me to do it on Friday.

Wealthy Chicagoans in the Gilded Age (1890's) bought Impressionists as modern and avant-garde, and relatively inexpensive. They were patrons of the Art Institute and thus the museum developed its Impressionist collection.

"Paris Street, Rainy Day" was acquired in 1964 and has become one of AIC's most famous paintings. Caillebotte painted it in 1877.

I had hoped to go to this famous intersection (Carrefour du Moscou) when ...

13 Years Old ~ Partially Quilted Lone Star UFO from Podunk Pretties

Over the last month I've been watching the "Quilty Christmas in July" series on the Sew The Distance Youtube Channel. Kris has been posting a video a day with great tips and ideas for sewing up Christmas gifts or projects for yourself. One of the tips she shared was to finish up those UFO's and give them as gifts. Most of the work is already done so it would be quick to finish.

As you all know I recently went on a quick finish quilting spree for a couple of months and thoroughly enjoyed the feel-good boost I ...

sloooooowly stitching . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It was a relatively slow week, stitch-wise. Our church's VBS started today, and I spent a lot of the preparing for that! I did get some stitching in, though. Almost finished up the standing pilgrim on my Coming to America piece . . .

I have about 90 minutes of free time from my last VBS music rotation to the closing rally, so I'll take this project with me and work on it each night. Maybe I'll have all *three* pilgrims on the boat finished by week's (or VBS's) end.

I am still unpacking and organizing things from ...

Miracle Fish from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to my stop on the Sunlit Garden Blog Hop.

I was thrilled when Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations asked whether I would like to join the Sunlit Garden BlogHop. Of course, I said YES!

Here is my quilt, named Miracle Fish!

Miracle Fish, 60" by 60"

The red and green together is evocative of Christmas, but this collection has vibes of Spring with floral reds and leafy greens. Christmas made me think of Christ and Christ made me think of Fish.
