Don’t you love it when something clicks? from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

And I am not talking about Click Buy Now! (Well, maybe…)

I know it’s been quiet on this blog for a while. May and June were busy, but good months. In May, my friend Kevin came for a few days, and we had a surprise guest—more on that near the bottom of the post. AND, Hubs retired at the end of May.

I have mentioned several times my desire to digitize quilting designs to stitch out on Ani, my Brother Luminaire. I’ve had her for just over a year now and had not embroidered anything on her ...

Finally Finished—the Down & Dirty Civil War Repro Quilt! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

—the first finish of 2025 AND finished on Worldwide Quilting Day.

Goodness, where does the time go? It’s ~~February~~ March and I have a finished quilt to share with you! And talk about uplifting—let’s just say with all the happenings in our family circle and the world, it’s nice to see something get accomplished, although I honestly thought by this time I would have at least two quilts done. Anyone who truly knows me is laughing their butts off reading that statement.

I started this quilt in 2013 when our youngest, David, said he would like ...

Is it time for new furniture? from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Oh my goodness --- what a coincidence! Someone was in Buenos Aires waiting for that plane that had the onboard death in Sao Paulo! What are the chances! It's sad as that gentleman was on his way to a cruise. I hope his body got back home without too much hassle. It does make you wonder how much hassle the family must go through and at what cost to get a person back who has died while on vacation.

I've definitely become a slacker when it comes to taking photos. Trust me—I took lots of photos, but not ...

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 ...

The first baby quilt (and finish!) of 2022 from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

I believe I have reached an age where baby quilts will be prevalent…

Some dear friends of ours have a darling daughter whom we have known since she was a snowflake. The Hubs and I were lucky to witness her wedding to her beloved 5 years ago, and I was thrilled to hear that a baby was coming. I needed to make that baby a quilt!

The December evening when we celebrated our youngest’s birthday brought the unexpected delight of running into Sarah at the restaurant while waiting for our kids to arrive. The Hubs was ecstatic because he ...
