Quilt Reveal: Change from High Road Quilter

The theme for the Project Quilting challenge this week is Plaid. That made me think about a pair of pajamas that I had relegated to the sewing room. I thought I could make a tiny wonky (in a good way) handmade quilt, like Zak Foster and others make.

Then I came across a quote on Instagram that caught my eye:

Change is made like a quilt: piece by piece together.

I really liked it, and it is short so I decided to embroider it on my little quilt. I really enjoyed the handwork on my last week's entry, so ...

I Like Thursday #302 from The Knitting Quilter

It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna to find more blogs that participate with us! I swapped out my Christmas table runner with this one. It has a winter theme but not Christmas. I love the pop of color from the bright red stars. It's nice to see something fun now that we're in the heart of winter and the holidays are over. We need fun and cheerful for this time of year!

I've sewn one pink side onto the Facets quilt. This is going together quicker than I had expected. I already have the ...

First of the Scrappy Mountains from Kat & Cat Quilts

Happy Friday, quilters! I know many of you, like me, are looking at a cooold weekend ahead, so let's have some warm quilts.

The first few quilts from the Scrappy Mountains Block Drive are done and ready to show. These first couple were quilted by Kathy on her long arm.

Speaking of block drives, there's a new one at the end of this post!

Becky in South Texas has been a godsend to help with assembling block drive blocks into tops. She made all the tops in this post and chose the layouts. I think she did an ...

On Deck - the baby quilt for the new great-grandson from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

All babies are special, and the ones in my life get a quilt.

I know I have said this on multiple occasions, but my granddaughter Cheyanne told me via FaceTime that she was going to have another baby ON MY BIRTHDAY. I was just giddy! But a sequence of events has pushed the arrival to an earlier date. I finished piecing the baby quilt top in November, but had put off the quilting of it until we got a little closer to the April due date. But we also know that babies come when they tell you they are coming ...

Friends and Wine from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. The weather took a little turn yesterday. It was cloudy much of the day, but there was no rain. Definitely the temperature dropped a couple of degrees. Nevertheless, we had a very nice afternoon with our friends, Debi and Jim. Debi is looking a little perkier than she was the last time we saw her. We're very hopeful her recovery will continue on the path toward wellness.

The evening before, we received a text from them suggesting two wineries: Cougar and Robert Renzoni. Mike suggested starting at Cougar since we've been to Renzoni before ...

Vintage Roses ~ Sew & Tell - 1/19/26 from Melva Loves Scraps

Let's jump right into Sew & Tell Time! This week's feature is from Gwyned's Life of an Artist and her first entry to the 2026 Project Quilting challenge. here's her description of the challenge... in a nutshell.

"It takes place over 12 weeks and not the more typical 12 months. Second the turnaround time from the announcement of the challenge to the finish line is exactly one week. It starts with a challenge posted on Sunday. Then it is up to the individual to interpret the challenge, make something stitched and layered, finish it and post either ...

A January Catch Up! from The Modern Diary

Awhile back I finished the Matchmaker Modern Quilt Mystery. I am happy with how it came out despite not picking fabrics ahead of time and using only scraps.

For Christmas I made Indie a second pillowcase for her little pillow. This one matches the one we use at my house.

I also made this Rudolph panel into a book. It was very difficult to get in the right order and despite my best efforts it is not in the right order! I think this went to Miles since Indie is kind of big for cloth books now.

For Christmas Becky ...

Six or So Stitchy Projects from Canadian Needle Nana

Here is my kitchen window very peaceful winter view as it will look pretty much now until April. The light is from the big garage and you can see the snow curtain we have from the snow sliding down the roof.

My bigger bunny is still here. Though he spends time under the feeders, he also munches on the left over garden growth which I purposely leave till spring to clean out. What exactly he is finding to eat there, I'm not sure.

He'd better be careful though as a Barred Owl flew low over my head one ...

Progress! from South Jersey Quilter

We're supposed to have a beautiful day in the 50's today, a tease before we get blasted with snow over the weekend.

Yesterday I had to get Ralph to help me with the Holly Jolly Tree Skirt pattern, because he's so much better at geometry than I am. (it's a low bar.)

First off, the strips sets did not match the diagram, even though I followed the directions. Mine were upside down. And trying to figure out a 60 degree angle for the trapezoids! We ended up making a fabric template, and that worked well. The ...

Lots of Finishes from Quarter-Inch Capers

I got the binding finished on my Day One Graduation Quilt.

I like the way I turned out! I used solid gray for the binding and for the back.

Edit: I forgot to add the picture of the back! Here it is:

This quilt pattern (Birds of a Feather) looks great on the solid-colored fabric. Our guild pledged 25 graduation hilts for 2026, and they are due in March. I think we have 11 so far. I am going to ask at our meeting if all interested parties can get a few more done so we can meet our goal ...

Finally Finished: The Teal Quilt from The Colorful Fabricholic

After all the problems, the Teal Quilt is finally finished. Whoo-hoo!

This was more of a challenge than I anticipated.

First, it's a remake of the Black and Tan quilt I made last year, but making it monochromatic meant finding just the right fabric hue, value, and intensity. Shopping ensued. The placement of darks and mediums is crucial for the dark diagonal grid framework to emerge. Squint at the photo and you'll see it more clearly.

Second, and more frustrating, the quilting was a nightmare, as I've written about in several recent posts. Thanks to much troubleshooting ...

Who let the dogs out? from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Good grief -- I don't think I'm going to have issues completing my 2026 Conquerer goal. Wait -- I didn't say that out loud—I don't want to jinx myself. But it's super easy to fit 10K a day into my schedule. It's the extra 2K per day that I scheduled last year that was challenging. But then I have vacations, and work days, and I won't always be able to get in that many steps.

I chuckle because yesterday, I wasn't sure I was going to make it. I didn't really want ...

Winter arrived from My Sewing Room

Winter weather blew in yesterday late morning, and it made my decision easy to NOT make that 80 mile drive to Sioux Falls for the afternoon work meeting. At times I could barely see the house across the street due to the white-out of snow pushed by 40 mph wind.

You know what that meant . . . a bit of sewing time instead of driving. I was looking at some Valentine themed small kits in my "holiday" drawer to play with next, and came across a St Paddy's Day UFO. You know how easily I am distracted, right? I think I ...

True Blue… with a Little Red Attitude from Moda Lissa

There is something comforting about a quilt-along. It feels a bit like a recipe card that’s been passed down for generations. Same method, same heart, but every time it turns out a little different depending on who’s in the kitchen or sewing room and what fabric is selected.. The True Blue QAL is exactly that kind of experience. last week it was picking fabric. This week it is making block 1.. Following directions in the magazine gives you exactly how many pieces you need to cut and sew. I never mind having some extra so ...
