Leaves and a Finish! from The Cozy Quilter

This week, I added more leaves to my Fall cross stitch project. This is not a very big project and it is fun to work on at this time of year. This whimsical pattern is from Satsuma Street.

I finished the Bricks and Stepping Stones baby quilt this week. I sewed the binding down by hand in the car on our way to see a play in Blyth. This quilt will be gifted shortly. The baby was born in July. Many of the I Spy prints were picked specifically for this particular baby boy.

I'm moving right along on ...

Two Baby Quilt Tops and Handstitching, of course! from The Cozy Quilter

In an effort to use up my kids prints and to replenish my baby quilt supply, I made two I spy baby quilts over the last couple of weeks. The first is a Bonnie Hunter Pattern...Bricks and Stepping Stones. The quilt is 36" by 48" and features lots of fun I Spy prints.

The second one is a Potato Chip quilt featuring more fabrics from my collection. It is the same size as the one above. I tried to use pairs of all of the fabrics so that a game of find the matching fabric can be played. Some ...

Back From Vacation from The Cozy Quilter

We just got home from two weeks in Calgary, Alberta where we were visiting family. We had lots of fun and went to lots of interesting places. This post has lots of pictures of our trip as well as the sewing I have done in the last three weeks. I will start with some progress on my hand quilting of the round robin quilt. I'm just figuring it out as I go along and will go back to quilt the blue border as well as the outer green border when I feel inspired.

I started a new fall cross ...

Just stuff from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

I think I’m in my Chatty Cathy phase. But to spare you, I have whittled this down from what I originally wrote to save you from eye rolls and thinking, “What is wrong with this girl?”

The last couple of weeks have been busy. A good part of that time was spent with friends, and two of those times were spent at quilt shops and fabric stores. At one of those quilt shops, I ran into a favorite customer of the quilt shop I used to co-own, and had a wonderful time catching up with her. But I have ...

Pig & Puppy: Personalized Quilts for Our Granddaughters from Sew French

One of the bittersweet milestones of grandparenting is realizing that little ones eventually outgrow the baby quilts that once seemed so enormous. When our youngest granddaughters reached that stage, I knew it was time to create something new—quilts they could … Continue reading →

Finally Finished -- another baby quilt! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

...and the babies just keep coming (thank goodness).

I added this photo because it's amazing how it looks inside my studio vs outside.

My friend Vicki and I met over 30 years ago when our boys were in Scouting. Our oldest son, Jack, and her oldest son, Wesley, spent a lot of time at campouts, meetings and other scouting activities as buddies, and Vicki and I bonded over the fact that our boys were hopefully going in the right direction because they were scouts. Jack made it to Life rank, but he turned 16 shortly thereafter and the lure ...

Ruminations from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Constantly.

We returned from Nashville a week ago Sunday and we’re happy to be home, but…in our absence, weeds went wild, some of our garden veggies tanked, the beautiful cedar tree in our front yard died, and then there’s this:

This is the lot that is adjacent to ours on the north side. The owner of the property (Billy the Builder) has been excavating dirt from one lot to another and he decided to use this particular lot and three others north of it to purge. He started digging a couple of days before we left on ...

More Aqua and Hand Quilting from The Cozy Quilter

My blocks for Aqua month are done! Here are the shoe fly blocks and the 25 patch HST block. Lots of fun scraps in these blocks. I have ordered some more Kona white as I only have a few small scraps left and I want to make more blocks for both of these quilts.

I finished hand quilting this purple pineapple block on Monday and I'm now working on the magenta block. Only one block to go after magenta--it is yellow. Then, I can get this quilt trimmed and bound. I will have to see what I have in ...

Almost a Week at the Cottage from The Cozy Quilter

Christine and I spent most of a week at her cottage and did lots of sewing, chatting, watching movies and eating good food! It was a bit buggy outside so we were mostly inside. Christine has lots of bird feeders which she kept well stocked all week so there were lots of birds and other critters to see out the window.

But first, the sewing! I added yellow binding to my colour challenge quilt and, over a few days, finished hand stitching it down. The dock was a good place to take some pictures.

I did most of the hand ...

Summer life at the home on top of the ridge, and retirement goals! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Here we are at the cusp of summer and progress is being made.

No news today and no completed projects, but just wanted to share some glimpses of our "outdoor" life. In the summertime, my mind is always on staying cool, but now that I've entered my "sometimes-gardening-and-piddling" phase of life, I look forward to seeing what's happening in our little splotch of land.

Either last Wednesday or Thursday I picked four cucumbers; Hubs found another lurker. We picked the first one a few days earlier, immediately ate it, and declared it to be the best cucumber we ...

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 ...

First quarter of 2026 is in the books... from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

..and progress was made.

Honestly, it's a miracle. I almost had a flimsy by March 31, but embroidery digitizing homework got in the way. But...I was very happy to have an epiphany moment while working on the homework (almost at the last minute) that made me feel so good about moving forward. I have, of late, been questioning my desire to commit to digitizing all the files I want to stitch for quilting my quilts. But that tiny peephole of light I saw last Monday was what spurred me on.

Antelope Canyon will be a flimsy soon-ish...the ...

Book panel quilt for children from Pieced Brain

Download this free pattern for a book panel quilt for children. It is a cool way to use the panel if you do not want to make a book.

Noah and Friends Book Quilt – click here to download the pattern.

I designed this quilt for the Noah and Friends collection by Lindsey Sagar for Blank Quilting. It measures 44″ x 53″ and the blocks finish at 8″.

The fun thing about making a quilt using a book panel is that it will surely be enjoyed a lot longer than just the book. As children outgrow the story, they will probably ...

Design Wall Monday - March 30, 2026 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Good Morning Quilters!

Things are moving very slowly here. The instructions for my new project, a replica of Jane Austen’s coverlet, call for starching all the fabrics before cutting anything out, How far did I get on this project? I bought the starch………so there is no news on this project. I bought two kinds, Best Press and a brand that the local quilt store recommended. I will let you know which one I like the best.

Down to three................... from Exuberant Color

I removed all of the fabrics that had a stripe pattern from yesterday's choices. That narrowed it down to 3.

This one might show the best contrast between the light edge strips and the sashing fabric.

This is the original fabric I showed a couple days ago. Now I just need to study these photos and make my decision.

My niece was in town visiting her parents so I invited her over to choose a couple baby quilts for her first grandchild, a little girl. This was her choice for the baby's house.

And this was her choice ...

Two Retreats in a Row from The Cozy Quilter

Yes... Christine and I were at quilting retreats two weekends in a row! I had a second set of projects lined up to take to our annual Spring Oxford Guild retreat before the Camp Kintail retreat. The truth is that I could go on even more retreats and still come up with projects to work on. Christine is in the same boat!

I finished up my chain link blocks for the vice president's challenge--I have decided to set them on point but have not decided if I want to add sashing or not before sewing them together. I will ...

Kintail Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

Christine and I spent last weekend at Camp Kintail at the crafter's retreat. Others were making paper crafts, scrapbooks, knitting and painting. Four participants were quilting. It's always fun to see what everyone is making. The food and snacks were plentiful and tasty too.

My first project was an open wide zipper pouch that I had started at home. This one may just stay here for me to use. This project was a good place to use the large scale print that I loved but would not be good to cut up into smaller pieces

Next, I made ...
