Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

I had a very productive weekend at the guild retreat last weekend. It was glorious to have three full days to sew--meals provided and no dishes to do! I added binding to two quilts that are gifts so I can't show those yet, but they are both hand stitched now and ready to gift. I quilted the table runner I showed last week that will be for sale at our church bazaar next weekend and added the binding this week when I got home. I hope someone will like it enough to purchase it! I also worked on three ...

Moving Right Along from The Cozy Quilter

This has been a productive week in the sewing department! I finished quilting the potato chip quilt I made for the local hospice. I used the cut offs from the backing to make the binding, remembering after I had machine stitched it to the front of the quilt that it needed to be machine stitched down, not hand stitched as I usually do. Oops! This is because the quilts for the hospice will be washed and dried by machine often and the binding will stay on better if machine stitched. I did not want to un-sew all of the binding ...

Getting Back to Normal from The Cozy Quilter

I have been reacquainting myself with my sewing machine over the past few days. I decided to get going on quilting the potato chip quilt top I made for our new hospice (opening in the Spring of 2025). First I quilted two lines in the sashing to get everything stabilized and ready for quilting the blocks. I also added a row of stitching around the entire quilt the width of the walking foot into the beige border and then a 1/8th of an inch from the edge of the border to keep it flat. I hummed and hawed over ...

Pin Basting and More Placemats from The Cozy Quilter

I added the binding to the placemats I made last week for Meals on Wheels. Now, I have six completed placemats and I hope to make 12 for this project of the Oxford Quilter's Guild.

This week, I started four more placemats and I have fabric pulled for a couple more. I need to piece some more batting scraps to quilt the rest of them and pick out binding fabrics. Sorry, no picture of the 4th one.

I finished off the last few stitches in the blue quadrant this week and started on the border of the green section ...

Placemats for Meals on Wheels from The Cozy Quilter

Once again, the Oxford Quilt Guild is making placemats for Meals on Wheels recipients for distribution at Christmas. They are due at our December meeting but I decided to get going on mine right away and get them done! I dug into my fabric stash to see what I had--so many possibilities! We are to make one side Wintery and the other side to be used for the rest of the year. So far, I have put together and quilted six placemats--the binding will go on this week.

I found a few orphan blocks that I can use to make ...

Playing with scraps

Last week I played with green scraps. I managed to piece together a green placemat for hubby. I think that it'll look good! This is for the Table Scraps Challenge, hosted by the Joyful Quilter. It's only due at the end of the month so that's ...

Weekly update: holiday celebrations, small finishes, and OMG December + reading from With Strings Attached

The social whirl is underway!

The GFWC-IL District 10 luncheon was on Wednesday. We played Santa bingo. I won $41 in the split-the-pot raffle.

There was a Christmas tree trivia quiz. The average artificial tree is used for 6 years (and is in the landfill forever).....Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states....Calvin Coolidge began the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in 1923.

Friday evening we enjoyed dinner with Rotary friends prior to the Carthage College Christmas Festival

Familiar carols and other old and new songs, with splendid choral and instrumental music.

Autumn Jubilee Turkey Talk Placemats from From My Carolina Home

When I saw the fabulous turkey prints in the Benartex Harvest Festival line, my mind immediately went to fussy cutting the turkeys. I knew I wanted a project to showcase those turkeys, along with the feather prints. Placemats for the Autumn table that would work all the way to Thanksgiving seemed like a good plan.

I began with my 6-1/2-inch square ruler to figure out which turkeys I could get in their entirety with the half-yard of fabric I had.

I made a gaggle of flying geese from the dark feather print so I could set the turkeys on ...

Scrappy Yellow Placemat on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 446 of Free Motion Mavericks. I published this a little early so that I can make the September 6th deadline for the Joyful Quilter's August Table Scraps Challenge. Nothing like racing the clock to publish. Thanks again Joyful for this great challenge.

Scrappy Yellow Placemat

August's colour is yellow which is perfect for the second placemat that I will make. This one is for my daughter, who requested yellow. The letters are X and O, which I will add to the free motion quilting (FMQ). If the verb tenses are a little wonky in this ...

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 ...

Placemats for Meals on Wheels, Sunflowers, Ottawa and a Field Trip from The Cozy Quilter

The members of the Oxford Quilter's Guild are making placemats for Meals on Wheels recipients for Christmas so each member of the guild has been asked to make 4-5 placemats. I decided to get mine done early. So far, I have one done and three in progress. This first one was made with some charm squares that were in my stash.

This one still needs to be quilted.

I have had this tool fabric in my stash for a while and I'm sure someone will like it!

I used more of the lighthouse fabric on the back of ...

Benartex Ambassador Project #3 from Nestlings By Robin

Christmas in July is celebrated by

lots of quilters to get a jump on

their Christmas gift lists, so

I am going to offer 2

Christmas in July patterns

for my Benartex projects!

For project #3 I chose

to work with the new

line, Rhapsody in White,

arriving in shops now.

This line has a lovely

silky feel to it and there

are lots of cute

prints to choose from.

White makes me think of

snowflakes though and how

fun are those little

paper cut ones from

our childhood.

In all honesty, I was never

much good at getting them ...
