Last Post of 2023 from The Cozy Quilter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and some time to relax this past week once the festivities were over. I have managed to do a bit of knitting this week as well as some un-sewing (more on that later in this post!). During the month of December, I worked on knitting a new hat for my husband whenever he was out or otherwise occupied. Despite my best efforts, I did not get it done in time and he ended up unwrapping an unfinished gift. He was surprised and pleased with my gift to him, which makes it all worthwhile ...

A Variety of Projects from The Cozy Quilter

Somehow, I managed to do some sewing almost every day this past week. Two sunflowers are almost done in this quadrant of my sunflower cross stitch. I also added a bee and some leaves.

I'm going to a wedding shower tomorrow for my cousin's daughter. If you know her, please don't spill the beans. I am quite sure that the bride to be does not read my blog! I made her these pillowcases--they like to go camping so the canoe fabric was chosen with this in mind.

I also made her two coiled rope hot pads. The ...

I have finished the flowers to the right of the rabbit in my Spring cross stitch picture and I'm now working on the carrots and beets under the rabbit and the flowers on the left side. I'm surprised all these flowers and vegetables have not been eaten by the bunny--that's what happened in our backyard when ...

Two Finished Quilts! from The Cozy Quilter

I have two finished quilts to share with you this week. They are both Rainbow Scrap Challenge finishes, the first from 2021 and the second one from 2022. This pattern is by Gudrun Erla from her "Quilts of Iceland" book. I used a turquoise Kona solid for the binding which co-ordinates nicely with the bicycles fabric on the back of the quilt.

I used my drunkard's path rulers and lots of my colourful scraps to make this circles quilt. I quilted in the ditch between each quarter circle block as well as a diagonal cross hatch through the circles ...

Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

Christine and I left early for our quilting retreat with the Oxford Guild this past Friday because there was a winter storm coming and we wanted to get there and be set up before the snow started to fall. The snow started in the afternoon and kept going all night. In the morning there was almost a foot of snow (30cm for the metric folks). We were all snowed in and loving it. We did not lose power and we had our sewing machines and lots of fabric and projects on hand to work on. It was a great weekend ...
