Five Placemats, One Baby Book, Sunflowers and Gros Morne National Park in Nfld. from The Cozy Quilter

I have now finished my five placemats for Meals on Wheels. The yellow and gray one was an orphan block which I made wider by adding strips to the sides of the block. I also took a picture of the backs of the placemats--you can see that I used up some of the fabrics used on the fronts on 4/5. These will be collected by the Oxford Guild for distribution at Christmas.

At the guild sewing day on Monday, I finished off the placemats and made a cloth baby book from a panel. This will be a gift for ...

UFO Progress, Yellow Blocks, Sunflowers and Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve, Nfld. from The Cozy Quilter

Christine and I got together this week for a few hours to sew and chat. Christine cut out squares for a disappearing nine patch baby quilt and I finished sewing my Overlapping Tiles quilt top.

The backing fabric is ready--it is the turquoise with the pink flowers that is the constant in the quilt top. My husband held the top for me to take a picture --it was a bit breezy!

I bought myself a Half Rectangle ...

Rainbow Scrap Challenge, Sunflowers and Battle Harbour, Labrador from The Cozy Quilter

This week, for the first time in a long time, I spent some time sewing every day! In the sewing room, I worked on my light blue (June) and red (July) blocks for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects. I now have 8 pineapple log cabin blocks completed. I am aiming for 12 blocks for a wall hanging. I really like working on these scrappy blocks...the fabrics bring back all sorts of memories of other things I have made for us as well as gifts given to and received from friends and family alike.

These 6.5" square slabs are ...

Back from Vacation! from The Cozy Quilter

My husband and I have been away for a month on vacation in Newfoundland, which explains my absence on my blog for the last few weeks. It took three days of solid driving to get to the ferry in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, to Port aux Basques in Newfoundland. We listened to an audiobook, "Son of a Critch", by Mark Critch in the car. Mark's stories about growing up in Newfoundland had us laughing out loud during our journey. Of course, I did some stitching in the car, making lots of progress on my Sunflower Cross stitch project. You ...
