June is bustin’ out all over from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

The heat and humidity are here, flowers are blooming, veggies are growing, and I can’t get enough sewing time.

Ah, summer. While not yet officially here, all of its attributes are in place and I wrestle with which thing to do first. My heart wants to plant my butt in my studio, but Johnson grass is loving the new super soil we spread around the pollinator garden, so into the weeds I must go.

On Monday morning at 7:19 am, the temp was 75°, but felt like 80°. My 45 minutes in the garden was muggy and sticky--sweat ...

Towels for Azsia - a home dec project - first finish of 2026! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Azsia is a special young lady heading off to college this week.

Azsia and her mother lived in the apartment above ours. These two delightful ladies brought a lot of joy to us while we were sheltering in place during the pandemic. Since I was working from home, I was able to take Azsia to school every day (she was in the 9th grade at the time), and it was fun talking with a teenager during the early morning drives.

Fast forward to 2025--she graduated from high school, and was accepted into (at last count) 26 different colleges and universities ...

Onward! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Ever had a project you had to make that you couldn’t get going on because you were bored with it before you started it?

And it’s not an awful thing—this is the secret project I mentioned starting a few blog posts back. A few weeks ago, it was in limbo.

So I mentioned in that post that I was thinking of proceeding on a different path and only for the purpose of making it easier. I should say there is nothing hard about this project, it’s more about being bored with it right out of the ...

Ok; what's next? from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

I am hopeful that 2025 is a year of discovery, fun, family and friend gatherings...but mostly, quilting!

Hey, it is what it is! I spent the bulk of my first month of retirement just relaxing, and that was good for me. Very little happened in the way of quilting other than tearing off the foundation paper from the Tattoo Quilt and adding sashing to the blocks. In the crafting area, I played with my ScanNCut and cut out names from vinyl for each of our granddogs and grandcats (and our own Jolene and Jedi) and adhered them to bandanas ...

It’s been a while. Let’s catch up. from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

…but let me catch my breath.

So…a lot has been happening. Others may not think so much, but this old gal just retired last week after working full time for the last 49 years and I am exhausted.

Tattoo Quilt: All blocks and center panel are pieced, and I’m almost done ripping off the paper! And yes, it is the ONLY project I have worked on this year.

Studio: I had been researching electronic or digital cutters. After going down the YouTube rabbit hole, I borrowed Cindy’s ScanNCut. End result was going to the Brother dealer to ...
