Quick Appliqué Pillow from Fret Not Yourself

Do not complain about growing old. It is a privilege denied to many.

~Mark Twain

Not complaining but I caught something this summer and am still not well. However, I did finally finish an appliqué pillow.

I began in June cutting out bits of almost every floral in my stash - whether it went together or not. Then overlapped on a piece of background fabric and loosely sewn in place and finally topstitched. {There was quite a lag between the start and finish though.} The photo on the left is when it was pinned while the right shows the difference using ...

HAPPY EASTER! from Kwilty Pleasures

Spring is supposed to be here, but

It’s OHIO! Easter can’t be fooled!

That being said …here’s my dining room

Two Gifted Pillows and some Cross Stitch from The Cozy Quilter

Some gifts have been given and opened already so I can show them to you. This first pillow is for a friend who just retired. I made her a wall hanging a few years ago out of these Christmas FQ's that I have in my stash and decided to maker her a co-ordinating pillow this year. The backing fabric was not quite wide enough so a strip of brown was added. Also, you will notice that the trees are green on one side and brown on the other. It all co-ordinates! There is a zipper under the flap on ...

Christmas Activities and a bit of sewing. from The Cozy Quilter

This has not been a particularly productive week with my sewing projects. I started making a pillow for a friend as a housewarming gift but ran out of the Essex linen fabric I am using for the background--I want to use it on the back of the pillow as well. I called 7 quilt stores before finally finding it in the right colour at a store two hours from here. I ordered what I need and they will ship it out early this week. It won't take long to install the zipper and finish off the pillow. The recipients ...

Pillow Talk from Magpie Quilts

The Farmer's Prayer Quilt had some fabrics left over and the pattern had bonus instructions for making a pillow.

A block echoing one that was in the quilt plus some flying geese blocks around two of the sides makes a nice pattern.

The back is an envelope style that has an opening that you can easily slip in a pillow form.

Nice project to use up a few left over fabric pieces.

The Gifts of Christmas, 2025 Version from The Cozy Quilter

We have had a very laid back, relaxing Boxing Day. The last few days were very busy and we all needed some time to chill. My husband is giving Finn a belly rub and my daughter is making dinner so I thought I would do a blogpost!

A few years ago, my husband found an old quilt that originally came from his family farm. It was very dirty and unfinished--the edges were not straight and it smelled funky. There were very rusty pins holding the edges together--I think the maker intended to finish it but never got around to it ...

PILLOWS FOR CHRISTMAS! from Kwilty Pleasures

My son loves pillows for his sofa and he loves

American Indian motifs.

Guess what he's getting for Christmas!

This one is envelope style.

The back with the envelope colsure.

And these two are my first attempt at

Zippers for the closures.

Lord, why have I not tried this before?

Probably because I didn't have an excellent video tutorial to follow.

Thanks to Kim Hensley for sending me this one from

A Busy Week from The Cozy Quilter

It was a busy week with lots of activities happening, but not a lot of time for sewing. I managed to make some progress on my cross stitch project, adding more trees, border stitches and starting the snow at the bottom of this section. I'm hoping to finish the mushrooms in the forest this coming week and move on to the next part.

The church bazaar was yesterday. Here are the three pillows that I made for the sewing table. We had a family wedding to attend out of town yesterday so I only had time to stop briefly ...

Not just quilts... from Art In Search

I love to make quilts, sew quilts, cut quilts, dream quilts. However, I spend time and energy watercolor painting. It is a different thinking kind of art than quilting. You may have an idea, and sketches, but you don't know how it will go or where it go. All kinds of surprises and accidents of timing. I don't show my work, but just keep painting. I decided this year, I will put more paintings on this blog because the thought of making a second blog gives me the heebie jeebies. I paint because of color, value and texture ...

Finished UFO and Other Finishes, No progress on Purple from Grandma's Red Needle

I took some days finishing several small items sitting on the table and taking up space.

Two scrappy green table toppers are done

These green pieces were scraps left from RSC March - the GREEN month - after I finished the green Churn Dash quilt. All batik, except the green Moda Marbles backing. These two small table toppers are for the kitchen; top of microwave oven and cupboard.

Out of approximately 30 yards green fabric, I have about 11 yards left, mostly Moda Marbles. Yeah me!

PHD in 2022: December and Year End Wrap Up from Life In Pieces

I'm struggling a bit to think clearly. Benadryl does wonders for allergies, but it also creates a lot of brain fog. I think the cats, Grad Girls and my mom's, finally got to me yesterday. Actually it's probably mostly due to my mom's cat. He decided to sleep next to my head Tuesday night. Grad Girl and I drove back down to my mother's on Tuesday because it would cut 2.5 hours off GG's trip back to college and I needed to pick up some things that wouldn't fit in the car ...

Chilhowie and More! from The Modern Diary

I hope you have all had Happy Holidays! Despite coming down with Covid for the first time (pretty sure my granddaughter brought it to her dad, then me, then her mom) we went to my folks--barely making they cut off for quarantine. The kids have had it before. Kathy somehow did not get it--despite being exposed to her and to me all week. I took Paxlovid since I am immuno-compromised. I actually felt better than normal from the time I was exposed until the time the Paxlovid ended. This seems to happen to me...my fatigue lifts decently when my ...
