Cross Stitch and Pink Scraps from The Cozy Quilter

This has been a good week for stitching and sewing in my neck of the woods!  I sat down to do some cross stitching three times and to sew by machine twice.  The sky part of this picture is done in blocks of colour but the farm scene at the bottom has more confetti stitching...I have not got to that part yet. 


Pink is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for April and I managed to get my pink blocks sewn for the four quilts I am making.  I am just about out of Kona white and will need to ...

Polite Society from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to Polite Society.

Polite Society


Designed in EQ8 and made with the Island Batik collection, Essence, Polite Society is a precut-friendly design published in Precut Quilts Made Easy (A Quilter's World publication).





This is a beautiful collection. Look for it in your local quilt shop. For background, I used the Island Batik Neutral Egg White. The binding is another neutral named Glaze.

I quilted using a variegated thread and my trusted walking foot. You guessed it - my favorite squiggly stitch :-) 


Beginner Friendly Quilt Pattern

 

Polite Society is a super easy, beginner-friendly, jelly roll pattern that you can ...

Back at Home… from Jo's Country Junction

Last week, I left shortly before lunch and headed to Iowa City. If you’ve been following my cancer saga, you know that last week was treatment week. I had radiation scheduled for Monday through Friday. Originally, I was going to stay at Hope Lodge, but they were full. The hospital ended up putting me in …

A very slow-stitching project and I Quilted This! from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome! I've been busy getting ready for the Out-of-the-box Fibre Artist's show, Fibre Fling 2026. I've done more quilting than art recently so I'm now working hard to finish three art pieces to put into the show. See, UFOs (UnFinished Objects) can come in handy!

creativity in the pink from Not Afraid of Color

 


I used the tiny oddly shaped pink scraps to sew this 16 X 20" piece together this week... then sewed strips to the bottom to make it twice as long, so I could sew a tote bag with it

Now I'm wondering if I want a portfolio with it, sturdy enough to put fabrics on in a layout to be sewn at night in front of the TV. 

hmmm design never done! I like the bits of young women peeking thru and use of tiny scraps

hexies to be in my little bowl for TV time handwork

I prepared ...

Something New from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Before I say another word, please join me in wishing this handsome hunka mancat a very happy 14th birthday.

My, oh my. How time flies. It seems only yesterday we brought home this little squirt.


He shows his age a little more now. Just like the rest of us, he has good and bad days. (Read that: "fast and slow days.") He's at an age where we know we won't have him for very much longer. Our first cat, Benjamin, lived to be 16. We also had a tortie named Krissy, and she lived ...

Friday check in: two more flimsies from With Strings Attached

Warm weather and sunshine for yesterday's walk.   

My jacket is Air Light from L.L. Bean. One of the women on the New Zealand trip had three of the pullover models and on her recommendation I got this one.  (This color was on sale. :)) It is just the right weight and warmth. 



Mr. and Mrs. Crane were taking a walk, too.

RSC26 - Week #15 from My Sewing Room

 It has looked like spring in my sewing room this week with all the pink laying around and under my needle.


The pink Honey Bee blocks are done.  I've been making 2 in each color as they are 12" finished blocks.  Another fun Lori Holt pattern!!  Maybe I'll do the bee hive block when yellow pops up as our RSC color.    


The pink string blocks are all done and you can see from this really bad photo how this will be coming together eventually.  


Pink star blocks were fun.  This block pattern is so easy with the Tri ...

Last Year's Workshop Finishes! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


We took a moment on the porch with Debbie's Bitter Bees to share the results and finishes from last year's Spanish Rose applique workshop!

I know applique is not for everyone.  I, myself, don't do a lot of it though it's not much different than hand stitching down a binding, hanging sleeve or label.

This quilt was designed as a hand stitching workshop for our Mediterranean cruise several years back because we wouldn't have sewing machines available. Handwork it was!

Splashdown from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OH --- I had the blog already to go and then forgot to press PUBLISH!!!



OH MY --- I'm totally obsessed with making up these presentations. When people are interested, I'm prepared to go to the ends of the Earth to find the information. I spend tons of time researching stuff for my groups and even if they don't appreciate it, (I'm sure most of them do!), I still learn a ton of stuff by finding the information. 

I just discovered something else that I need for my research. I'll share it all next week!

Draw String Bags, and Reading from Romany Quilting

 I'm still working with pink, the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for April, so decided to make some more draw string bags for the foster kids.  Looking through my big bag of bag making bits and pieces, I found four pink contenders.

There was a black and grey fabric piece which I had pinned some bright pink for the top.  Piggies in pyjamas, and a pretty floral fat quarter I had tucked away which yielded two bags.  So I cut, and stitched, added the linings and the draw string tops, found some suitable cord, and they were all done.


Four ...

First quilt top for April 2026................... from Exuberant Color


Kaleidoscope 1 top is sewn.  I'm thinking of 2 and 3 so this could be a series.  I won't use Marcia Derse fabric for the next 2.  This one is 51.5" x 72".  I ended up with the 35 blocks like I originally planned.  I usually don't use the same background fabrics all through a quilt but this time I had 2 nice light ones, also Marcia Derse fabric.  There are over 70 different fabrics in this quilt top.



Here are 2 of the worst matches of points.  They are both about 1/16" off and ...
