Back at home! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

And it feels good.

We took an 8-day trip. First stop to my sister’s to leave the bird and have dinner with her.

Everyone wants on the Hubs' lap. The bird is in another room.

Next stop was Nashville and we met our new great-grandson! He is home from the hospital but has more surgery coming. He’s a handsome lad. Great snuggles were had. He got his baby quilt and the two receiving blankets, and our great-granddaughter got her new quilt and some new shoes and boots! Granddaughter is thrilled with the new-to-her scrapbooking supplies and I can ...

Girl Gang DIY Sampler - digitizing in Embrilliance and quilting on the Luminaire - Part 2 from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Happy Groundhog Day! I think I'd like to watch the movie tonight. Moving along...

I was so pumped when I was able to quilt that little bee block--what I didn't tell you was all the trouble I experienced that afternoon getting the block scanned and the machine just generally not wanting to cooperate. I went to the wonderful Facebook Group Just Stitchin' with the Aveneer and Luminaire and posted my dilemma. Within 5 minutes, three helpful group members each made a different suggestion--and within 15 minutes, I was back in the game.

Along with that came headaches—I ...

On Deck - the baby quilt for the new great-grandson from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

All babies are special, and the ones in my life get a quilt.

I know I have said this on multiple occasions, but my granddaughter Cheyanne told me via FaceTime that she was going to have another baby ON MY BIRTHDAY. I was just giddy! But a sequence of events has pushed the arrival to an earlier date. I finished piecing the baby quilt top in November, but had put off the quilting of it until we got a little closer to the April due date. But we also know that babies come when they tell you they are coming ...

Finally Finished 2026 - first quilt finish of the year from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

It's a digitizing class exercise!

Oh, I was a happy girl last Sunday. I watched a couple of Lisa Shaw's videos about creating motif fills and decided I really didn't need to do it on this particular quilt. I wanted to, and I want to on other quilts, but this one will reside on the top of our dining table and it doesn't need the foo-foo. I managed to finish digitizing the center design as well as the edge-to-edge design.

For background, four years ago I signed up for Sarah Vedeler’s Master Digitizing course. I ...

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 ...

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 ...
