Sunday Stash December 14, 2025 from Quilt Paint Create

No fabric in this week.

I finished the ornament quilt.

I’m so pleased with how it turned out.  Now I’m sorry I waited so long to finish it.

I started sewing Snow into a pillow.  Here’s the finished stitch.

I’m going to count out the fabric for both here.  I used less than I expected, but they were small projects.

I still hope to hit net 20 yards out this year.  So close, and I still have time.

Fabric In:  8.625 yards

Fabric Out:  28.375 yards

Net Fabric Out:  19.75 yards

How did ...

Stitching Stuff: Week 50 of 2025 from Life In Pieces

 


This time of year when I type the title of this weekly post, my mind says no that can't be right.  Just two weeks left in 2025?  Really?  I've been slowly taking care of Christmas stuff. I've also been taking some sanity time in the sewing room this week. 


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Dec = 13/13 days
  • 15 minute days/2025 = 303/347 days
  • Success rate = 87.32%

I had a good week on the stitching front, though my only effort on the BH mystery has been to collect the clues ...

Binding started................. from Exuberant Color


I got the binding sewn onto the medallion quilt and got 1 1/2 sides hand stitched last night.  This one should take me 3 evenings to finish.





A couple weeks ago I got a package from Nann.  She went to Kay Sorenson's estate sale and got these 2 fabrics for me.  She knew that Kay and I were friends.  What she didn't know is that the fabric on the left is one of my very favorite African fabrics.  The one on the right is an Australian fabric by M&S textiles.  It is a lot different than ...

Service of Remembrance and Sew Wots from Romany Quilting

 Several nights ago I went along to the Service of Remembrance put on by Harvey Bowler Funeral Services to remember those who had passed away during the previous year.  This was held at the Uniting Church and I really didn't know what to expect at all.   As it turned out, I knew several ladies also attending who had lost their husbands recently too.  I found seeing Robin's name up on the Scroll of Remembrance quite hard to cope with.  Rev Sandra took the service, and we were invited up to light a candle for our loved one, and ...

Just Around The Corner from Quarter-Inch Capers

Christmas is coming fast! I have all my shopping done, but not wrapped. To be honest, I usually finish the wrapping on the 24th. My main priority is getting the gifts bought, and everything else is secondary. 

Everyone wants their quilts finished before Christmas, but I haven’t made any promises. I got five quilted and bound this week. 

This was for a new customer. She is not a quilter but decided a jellyroll race would be easy enough for a beginner. She didn’t have a very extensive variety of strips, and when she got it put together she ...

Community Quilts from Ray from Jo's Country Junction

Ray was able to squeeze in two more community quilts before he was back to doing customer quilts. Ray writes: I caught a break in the influx of snowbird quilts and was able to finish a community quilt. This one is from Cathy R. in FL. This is such a fun quilt with the wide …

Getting Closer To Finishing The Quilt from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I was up before hubby. That's unusual. But was nice for once. 

I had my war game at noon and then back at 4:30 pm. So, I wanted to get some work done downstairs in the meantime. It was time to get back to my quilt tops. 

I had to trim some of the side borders. It wouldn't fit the blocks that go in the corners. I had to take a break when I was to this point. 

Came back downstairs and found that I had to take this apart and cut a longer piece ...

Christmas Activities and a bit of sewing. from The Cozy Quilter


This has not been a particularly productive week with my sewing projects.  I started making a pillow for a friend as a housewarming gift but ran out of the Essex linen fabric I am using for the background--I want to use it on the back of the pillow as well.  I called 7 quilt stores before finally finding it in the right colour at a store two hours from here.  I ordered what I need and they will ship it out early this week.  It won't take long to install the zipper and finish off the pillow.  The recipients ...

He Goes Before Us and Stays With Us Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by!  Two weeks ago I threw all my goals out the window and enjoyed a staycation with my DH and even skipped a post last week!  Our staycation turned out to be a wonderful time of spiritual renewal, sharing memories and romance. Those days became a much-needed romantic as well as spiritual retreat.  He even commented we should have more staycations!

What I’m Making: Smothered Swiss Steak from Jo's Country Junction

The beef in my freezer is coming to an end. You know what that means…all of the things you don’t necessarily love are lurking, waiting for you to use them. I decided I’d better start using them, so I told myself, Go to the basement. Open the freezer. Close my eyes. Reach and grab one, …

Saturday Sparks Link Party 698 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 698!

Starting off today's party with this sweet pair!


Our deer had all but disappeared a few weeks ago.

This happens every year after the first snow cover.

Much to our surprise, four of them wandered into our field today, just as the sun was about to set.

This pair held their position just long enough for me to grab my camera and snap this shot.

Well, hello there ~ my little friends!

Now, onto the party,

First up, the Fabulous Features from ...

creatively speaking this week a bag and two needlebooks with beads from Not Afraid of Color

 

Here are a few things made this week... starting with a walking bag to carry phone, keys, camera etc

I start with the Christmas scrap bag of little pieces, organize them into shape and size ( this is fun for me, sorting like with like is soothing ) 


then I decide what to make. I took odd shapes to sew together for one side of my bag...


bits I like, such as a labrador in a hat, a stocking (my favorite part of gifts ) an angel



a small hand stamped muslin bit, and colors. 
for the reverse side I took a left ...

Machine Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Well, I can't lie...it was good to sit down at the machine yesterday and do some real sewing. I had a lot going on yesterday, and so I didn't have much time in the sewing room. Still, it was good to be doing something that required a needle and thread rather than a ruler and a rotary cutter.

When I finished yesterday's post, I happened to glance out the window to see the raindrops on the tree outside sparkling like diamonds in the sunshine. Just seeing the sunshine was a huge mood-booster ...

Big Things Happening! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


After two months of trying all the things to no avail, I finally succumbed to the embarrassment of begging My APQS master tech and Intelliquilter guru Patty Butcher at Katidids.net for a slot on her fully packed travel/installation schedule.

I contacted her about a full "spa" treatment for my Millie, which includes changing out worn parts like thread guides and old bobbin hook, cleaning, detailing, repacking gears with new grease - the Full Monty.

Crochet Crazy from Becca's Crazy Projects

This is a slow project. Not that it is difficult, or anything. Only that I don't work on it very often. 
I may only add a row or two in a week. I love how the changing color each row makes for a fun change each row and the overall effect is fun.

Quilt trimmed, table piece finished................. from Exuberant Color


Another quilt is back from my longarm friend Robin.  I got it trimmed yesterday afternoon.


Since I needed to turn on the iron, I also pressed the binding fabric and cut the 7 strips needed.  It is Kaffe's Woodear fabric.












I also cut the binding strips for my Christmas table runner and got it sewn on and since it is for me, I hand finished the binding.  It is 14.75" x 34.5".


I also finished the second dishcloth from this color ball of yarn.  15 dishcloths have left my home since the beginning of November so I ...

Out with the old and in with the new! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Mission accomplished! The two (lengthy) presentations are together! I love putting the presentations together, and I spend quite a bit of time sewing, taking pictures, scouring the internet for inspiration or ideas, and amassing the information into a somewhat cohesive storyline that makes sense! 

And I learn so much from doing that. It's amazing what you can find on the internet these days. And yes -- you must be careful that what you see makes sense. It has to make sense to you, but it might not make sense to the next person. Or you may not like the idea ...
