Projects for Horse Lovers from Made By Marney

These brand new COZY HORSE patterns are so adorable. Why can’t our horses be warm too?

This table runner/wall hanging pattern has my favorite scalloped binding. This binding is challenging, but so worth it! Always use bias cut binding strips when adding any curved binding.

The COZY HORSES pattern includes all 3 paper pieced horse patterns and directions for the wall hanging.

January is on the way out the door! from South Jersey Quilter

 Has it been January forever? It sure seems like it,  and I'm glad to see it gone.


 This is our current fireplace. It was wood burning when we bought the house, and years ago we had it converted to gas. It's been rarely used for a couple of reasons. When it's on, it makes the rest of the house colder. And Ralph would have me move everything ten feet away for fear of burning the house down. I love the mantle, it's got Valentine Gnomes on it and some birds.

So I contacted Reilly, who is ...

Timeless Stitches Has Arrived from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

 Hello Everyone,

My sample yardage of Timeless Stitches arrived on Thursday from Marcus Fabrics, and I dug right into it by cutting, starching and quilting.


I have only a limited amount of fabric, so I cut just what I needed for the center of the medallion quilt. I was eager to get started and didn’t want to starch the entire yardage. I have an antique wall‑mounted dryer in the guest bathroom that works perfectly for hanging the starched fabric over the bathtub. With the ceiling heat lamp on, they dry fairly quickly.


While I've been waiting for ...

On Deck - Girl Gang DIY Sampler - quilting the quilt on the Luminaire from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

The Girl Gang quilt is finally on deck. This is the project I was looking for last week, and finally found it Monday morning. Yay!

While working on the recent baby quilt, I had a little epiphany about quilting; specifically, how to get it done with less angst, aggravation and still be happy about it. Y’all know I have been digitizing some edge-to-edge designs but I also want to make some block-specific background designs—think Kimberbell’s background quilting and Designs by Juju’s backdrops. Combine that idea with the Brother Luminaire’s ability to scan a design from ...

Winter Wonderland! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

Am I wishing I were back in Morocco? 60 degree temps and sunshine?  YES!

But this has a beauty all of its own, too -

And Hubster Dave has been out plowing since daylight.

It's a LOT of snow, and there could be more coming.

Under the Needle: January from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

I know most folks don't love the month of January, but I'm in the minority. It may have something to do with where we live. We have sunshine over 300 days out of the year. Brilliant, clear blue skies are the norm here in our corner of the world, year-round. It was 12 degrees when I took this shot.So even though we get below zero temps, snow, and have bitter cold winters some years, I don't have

Wooden House Wintry Wanderings from Canadian Needle Nana

It seems to be all about the weather here in the winter months. Saturday,when I went out with the dogs, the temperature was this with a wind chill of -34C. 

But the sun was shining and I could feel its warmth on my face. That was so nice while on the pond throwing the ball for the dogs. Then it warmed up and here in winter, that means the snow comes. We have a few more centimeters on the ground and it's still snowing. The school buses are not running this morning so another snow day for most ...

Slow Stitching, Patchwork Testing, Puzzles Too from Canadian Needle Nana

 This is a painting by William Kurelek called "Balsam Avenue After Heavy Snowfall", 1972.  This area of Toronto just had a huge snowfall so I imagine the present day residents doing just this. Shovelling snow is certainly something all Canadians are very familiar with. Do you like the way William used pops of colour here in what otherwise would be a drab background?

We have an extreme cold warning this morning. It is just -23C but there is a wind making it feel like -34C. Be assured I wear all the gear for our walks so I'm quite comfortable ...

GRRRR --- the INTERNET!!!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I'm not even sure where to start. I was downstairs this morning, playing the radio through my speaker, and all was fine. I came upstairs to send two emails and start the blog, and POOF!! NOTHING! The internet is dead. I then tried to open the app to see what the problem was. Yep -- you guessed it --- password issues. I swear that passwords are going to be the death of me! 

One day, you'll find me holding my phone in my hand with a big sign flashing - PASSWORD INCORRECT!!!! I can't stand the madness. So I reset ...

RSC26 - Week #5 from My Sewing Room

It's hard to believe we're 5 weeks into the new year already.  And it's time to retire the blue scrap bin even though it sure doesn't seem any emptier than it was 5 weeks ago.  But like most everyone else, I'm excited to play with a new color. 


The main blue project this week has been this one - Jackrabbit Stars. It is a little more than halfway to the flimsy stage. Showering Stars is the pattern and it's assembled in vertical rows that are 90" long.  


Lots of blue blocks happened this month - Honey ...

Sewn, not pressed.......................... from Exuberant Color


The top half of the quilt is folded up so I would have room to design the bottom half.  The blocks on the bottom aren't sewn in this photo.  I changed one because I had a light block where a dark block was supposed to go.






I finished sewing the top at 10 last night and even though the last seams haven't been pressed, I wanted to check it out and make sure I didn't have any blocks turned wrong.  Now seeing the photo I can see I have one dark block where a light one should ...

Weeks Of No Blogging Catchup from Podunk Pretties

 Hello, quilty friends! It’s been weeks since my last post. Life in Podunk is just fine, I’ve simply been suffering from a severe case of “can’t-be-bothered-to-type-itis.” Thank you to everyone who checked in to make sure I hadn’t been buried under a huge pile of fabric. Honestly, I didn’t realize my last post was over a month ago! From now on, during my bouts of type-itis, I’ll drop by at least once a week. Expect a few photos and minimal chatter, just enough to confirm the UFOs haven’t abducted me… yet. HAHA!

The Last Week of Blues from Quarter-Inch Capers

Well, the last week of blues for the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I’m sure we will get to make more blues next year. There are only so many colors to pick from, so they will continue to make an appearance every year. And the scraps continue to accumulate every year. Speaking of every year, I was cleaning out some of my stacks and found some blocks from a previous RSC. And, there are some blue ones!



I got way too excited when I found these! I didn’t do the RSC last year, so I’m thinking they were ...

Quilt Finish-Community Quilt: From Me! from Jo's Country Junction
