Binding and Finn's Approval from The Cozy Quilter

It's been a busy week and I have not had much time to sew but I did manage to hand sew the bindings on the two quilts I showed in my last post. The shadow box quilt has gray binding, the same as the shadows on the quilt.

Finn approves of the potato chip baby quilt.

Here is a close up of the backing fabric--I love the paper boats print!

My daughter's book blanket is coming along with nine new squares added in February.

These squares represent two books read in March so far.

Here are the books ...

Just Got Home from a Quilting Retreat! from The Cozy Quilter

Three days and two nights of quilting! I always bring more with me than I can possibly do while I am at a retreat but I like to have options in case I feel like changing projects. However, by the time I left today, I only had one project that I did not touch. Much was accomplished! I started out slowly with a warm up projects. I am making nine patch blocks for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge project this year. March's colour is yellow. They are a bit brighter than they appear in this picture. The lighting in the ...

Arizona Quilt Top and Deer Stitching from The Cozy Quilter

I put my Arizona quilt blocks together and it is now a completed top--36"square. Before assembly, I remade a couple of the four patches. If you look closely, you can see that the cacti are now mirror images of the adjacent block in the next quadrant. Anal, I know, but I didn't like how it looked before.

I also worked on the walking foot quilting on the second potato chip baby quilt. It is about 3/4 done and I hope to finish it this week and get the binding on. One more of these tops to quilt ...

Another Secret Project Reveal and Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

There was no blog post last weekend as Christine and I were at a crafter's retreat at Camp Kintail. There were other people sewing, knitting, crocheting, paper crafting, card making, painting, rug hooking, etc. Lots of interesting projects to walk around to look at when I had been sitting for too long! I worked on several projects, one of which was a gift and will not be revealed until after Christmas. I quilted two baby quilts--one of which you can see in the picture below. It is not quite done yet and I hope to finish it off this ...

A Busy Week from The Cozy Quilter

Ta Da! My Put a Ring On It is done! I took this class during QuiltCon Together in February 2021 with Latifah Saffir, using her clammy rulers. I had the top done reasonable quickly but could not decide how I wanted to quilt it. This quilt kept telling me to hand quilt it, which I ignored until this Spring. By then, it was screaming to be hand quilted so I got to work. I used 28 wt Aurifil thread in green for the big stitch quilting. I'm really happy with this project! I will be hanging it on the ...

On a Roll! from The Cozy Quilter

For some reason, I was really in the mood to sew this week. It was too hot or rainy outside so I spent my time in my sewing room, playing with fabric. I finished hand quilting my Put a Ring On It wall hanging, trimmed it and added the binding by machine. I will work on hand stitching the binding tomorrow. I can't believe how much I enjoyed hand quilting this project...maybe I will have to do some more hand quilting again soon.

I also finished the cross stitching on my Lupins project and I have started the ...
