One Quilt Repaired and Stitching by the Fire from The Cozy Quilter

My husband and I went on a much needed three day getaway this past week at an Airbnb. The place we stayed in used to be a chicken coop and the current owners renovated it to become a cozy place for their guests. It featured a woodstove, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a fancy outhouse and an outdoor shower with heated water. The fall colours in the area were in their full glory and we enjoyed a walk in the woods at a local conservation area, a trip to a local small town and reading (both of us) and stitching ...

Fall Trees Framed, Quilt Repairs and Placemats from The Cozy Quilter

I picked up my Fall Trees cross stitch from the framer this week. I'm really pleased how the orange frame looks with these colourful trees. It is now hanging in our living room. I didn't even pick up my cross stitch this past week but hope to add some stitches this coming week.

I made my daughter a quilt when she graduated from university and the binding was worn out so I cut it off and machine stitched some new grey binding on. This will be my hand stitching project over the next couple of days. There were ...

Working on two.............. from Exuberant Color

Yesterday afternoon I sewed one more Fractured block, bottom right. When I get all 20 blocks sewn, maybe the ones with the darker backgrounds will end up on the edges of the layout.

Then I cleaned off my cabinet so I could sew the binding on the Kaffe Zipper quilt.

I started sewing on the binding in the late afternoon and then decided to go to the grocery store before it got dark. I got home in time to pick some more tomatoes.

I finished the binding at 10 p.m. You can see I went with the wild fabric ...

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

Since a table runner can be used with either side up, and people at the table would have a close view of the binding, I decided I needed to hand finish it. I'm about 2/3 done.

I think the green looks nice with the back too.

I decided I needed a collage of the rest of the flannel quilts I have made since 2007. This group is 2017 - 2026. At least 7 of them are baby quilts. I wanted both collages in the same post so below is the same collage I showed yesterday and it is flannel ...

Binding chosen and cut..................... from Exuberant Color

I had so many household things to take care of yesterday that I only got the binding chosen and cut for this table runner. I did work on finding a group of fabric that my granddaughter wants but no photo on that.

I was looking back at some flannel quilts I have made since 2007, hoping to decide on some patterns for this year. This collage is missing all of the ones I have made with the tumbler block. That is usually my default shape when I need to cut up a lot of scraps.

It was 47 yesterday morning ...

Pineapple Log Cabin Done, Two Donation Quilts Started. from The Cozy Quilter

Some projects are quick to make and others aren't. I made these blocks in 2023 as one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects. The quilt top was completed in January 2024. Then it sat in the to be quilted pile as I pondered how to quilt it. It kept telling me it wanted to be hand quilted so I finally relented, and started hand quilting it last fall. I took a break from it for a while and then finished it in the Spring/Early Summer of this year. I searched high and low through my stash for an ...

Busy day...................... from Exuberant Color

I started out the day making the backing for the Kaffe Zipper quilt. I had 4 yards and had to do some creative cutting and sewing to piece the back. There were 4 seams altogether. I had one piece 1" x 3.75" left over.

Then I pressed the binding fabric and cut the needed 7 strips. I got the binding sewn to the back and started the machine topstitching to finish it. I decided to finish it today instead of pushing ahead while I was tired.

Today is supposed to be 78 degrees. What a relief that is after ...

Snail's Trail.................. from Exuberant Color

The Snail's Trail quilt was back from my longarm quilter so it was time to trim it and find a binding fabric.

I'm sure I bought this brown and black stripe with bindings in mind. I think it looks great with the front of the quilt.

It's okay with the backing fabric too. I need to press out the creases and cut 7 strips and get busy.

It is disappointing that Google Blogger has messed up leaving comments. Several people emailed me yesterday when they could see the comments weren't going through. I hope it is ...

Binding finished.................. from Exuberant Color

I thought maybe I would have the binding done before dark but doing laundry and watering plants outside took some of my daylight hours away. I put in the last stitch at 8:30 last night. When I was in the basement earlier I noticed one of the 8' bulbs didn't come on in the area where I take my photos of finished quilts. I thought waiting until morning was best.

All of the predicted rain yesterday was tiny little spots on radar and they either dissipated before they got here or went south of us. No more rain ...

One more day needed...................... from Exuberant Color

There are four corners finished in this photo. I have 52" left to stitch on the 4th side. I worked on it 4 different times yesterday.

I also baked the chocolate chip cookies and shopped for groceries at two stores.

The humidity was up a little but still tolerable with the windows open.

When I could see I wasn't going to be able to finish the binding I picked up my knitting. I was thinking about which quilt top I might be able to finish before the end of the month while I knitted. Some years August is a ...

Still hand stitching......... from Exuberant Color

A couple more days will be needed to finish the hand stitching on this binding.

This is the pile on the sewing cabinet as I stitch. I get to enjoy all of the fabrics....for hours.

I mixed some chocolate chip cookie dough but it was too late to bake the cookies. It will be cooler this morning so that worked out OK. I put the dough in the refrigerator for the night.

It was another beautiful day so I took my clippers out and cut some trees that are popping up everywhere, and also cut down two peony plants ...

Relaxing Sunday............... from Exuberant Color

My plan was to get at least one side hand stitched on the binding of the Wm. Morris Trip Around the World quilt. I got one short side stitched and then went on to stitch 22" on a long side. Then I took a break and went out to trim dead leaves off the tomato and cucumber plants and fill the bird feeders.

The only other thing planned was baking cookies. I was going to make chocolate chip but changed my mind and baked shortbread instead. I could swear my eyesight was clearer after eating 2 cookies.

Yesterday's weather ...

Turning on the iron.............. from Exuberant Color

I knew it would take a while to press 81 blocks plus iron a few other things piled on the ironing table, so I started a load of laundry and spent a couple hours in the basement. I have the blocks sorted into 2 piles since there are 2 alike of each combination except the one at the bottom. I will be designing half of the quilt with one pile when I get around to it.

I got this quilt back from my longarm quilter so I trimmed it and then cut the binding strips, the same fabric as the ...

In Between? from From the Strawberry Patch...

Yes, it's still summer. I know that. The kiddos have gone back to school here this week, school buses are out and about. It's not yet fall but somehow it seems like we're in an in-between season. Even as I say that though, ninety degree temperatures are forecast here all week; yanking me back to reality. My zeal for finishing projects remains high. "Amarillo Skies, Revised" has had the binding

Mellow Yellow, and the Fire Brigade from Romany Quilting

The last remaining dinosaurs have been chilling out with me in the sewing room. There was just a limited amount of fabric left, enough for a toddler quilt I decided. And I liked the idea of using yellow as accents, the RSC colour for August.

Here are those funky dinosaurs again

I couldn't match up the dinosaurs, so cut the fabric into four, and added sashing in the middle. Then yellow and grey borders with nine patch corners. That's the top done, it doesn't look too bad, does it.

Dinosaurs roam again

And I always like to ...

Psalm 14:2, Fiber Fun, Literary Life: Liar's Dice, Finding Joy in Journaling from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There!

Thank you for stopping in for a visit! I skipped posting last week—life happens, right?—but I ended up accomplishing twice as much on my goals - for the blog and behind the scenes. The rain here has been beautiful, leaving our desert plants looking fresh. My husband and son were away on an overnight trip, and while I enjoyed a quiet morning for studying and writing, the house felt a bit too lonely without them. I was so glad when they returned!

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,

"Make memories; it's later than ...

Second finish for July 2026.................. from Exuberant Color

I'm so happy to have this quilt finished because I love it. I have always loved floral fabrics and this group, mostly from the 1990s and early 2000s are favorites.

The blocks were finished a year and a half ago so cutting the border pieces was my most recent sewing on it. It is 66" x 78".

I didn't know if I had anything in my stash from that era for the back but found this green leafy print that goes so well with it. I love my stash! This quilt has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it ...

Binding completed................ from Exuberant Color

After I took this photo, I continued sewing the binding on the floral stars quilt. I finished it at 10:30.

It's getting close to the end of the month so I'll have to see what else I can finish.

Yesterday morning I went out to check the tomatoes and this is what I found on the biggest tomato out there. I had picked tomatoes the night before at 5 p.m. and this one had barely a tinge of orange on it so I left it to check on later. The squirrels had their party and took ...
