Oh Scrap! : Progress from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

My boy Arthur has been feeling under the weather the last few days, so I have been doing a lot of cutting and sewing at my dining room table. He likes to lay at my feet while I work - under the table is his safe place. So for a change, I have been staying right by his side.

He has an appointment at the vet Monday morning so hopefully we can figure out what is wrong with him. I don't like seeing him in pain.

Not only did I get all of the pink flannel cut, but it is ...

A Big Littles Show from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have finally found a bit of time to sit down and write a blog post. Sorry it has been so long since I have shared some finishes. It is going to be all about small quilts today.

This project came from a local estate sale. In amongst some fabrics were some whole and some partial blocks. I couldn't toss them so I made this little quilt top. It was kind of small so I added a dark blue border. I also added this dark blue backing fabric that Dorothy sent.

It has the words Sweet Dreams on it ...

The lost is now found! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I'm home!! And I have NOTHING on the agenda that requires an overnight stay until the end of March! Yes!!!! I'm so excited!!

Regarding Bluetooth, my brain isn't comprehending the matter this morning, and I need to process this a bit more. But I learned last night at dinner, after complaining about the Bluetooth issue, that the Sonos speaker I have is Wi-Fi-enabled. So I do not even need a Bluetooth device to make it work! I connect to the internet through the app (of course!), and then I link to Spotify or the radio. NO device ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel Blocks from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have been busy all week cutting flannel scraps into 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles. I think all of the pink scraps are done and I have moved onto blue.

As I cut them, I am stacking them in a box so they are ready to sew. I don't often get a chance to sit and sew but I did find time to make enough soft blocks for a quilt top.

I have 42 of these 8" blocks ready to be turned into a top. I have also cut more than enough rectangles to make the same size ...

An almost full super moon from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I'm happy to report that I slept well last night. I even "slept in" so that is great, but I still have time to get this blog posted in the right time frame.

I know I say it all the time when I'm at retreat, but this is truly the place to strengthen friendships. While I'm a Zoom person and happy with Zoom, there is nothing like an in-person event to make me very happy. You can't go for a walk with someone on Zoom! But you can in person. While I'm also a get-in-and-out ...

Oh Scrap! : Still Cutting Pink from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

A huge thanks to all of you who wished me well. I am pretty much back to my old self. I still have pain in my ear but at least I can move my head without falling over.

I am still working away at Mount Flannel when I have a chance. I have been focusing on the pink scraps and anything new that needs attention. I am not to add anything to my mountain of scraps!

Once I have all the rectangles I need for a block, I am just stacking them in a box to sew at a later ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel Progress from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Colds and Covid have hit our area hard. Almost everyone I know has some sort of bug they are fighting. I myself caught a head cold - which led to an ear infection and burst eardrum - which led to vertigo. I am not a happy camper right now. Every time I try to get something done, dizziness makes it impossible and back to bed I go

. Hopefully the pills do their thing soon and I am back to my regular self!

I did get a few more flannel scraps cut and some scrappy blocks made. I have two patterns I am ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel Windmills from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

In the recent newsletter, I shared my excitement over finally having a plan for how to deal with all the flannel scraps we have. I have been slowly starting to cut and this weekend, I finished a few blocks.

I started with scraps that had pink and would be a good candidate for a you girl quilt. I am cutting everything to 2.5" x 4.5" and giving myself the freedom to toss anything that I can't yield a piece that size. Of course, as I was sewing these blocks, I remembered why I dislike sewing flannel but ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel Scraps from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Most of this week was spent cleaning up after our Sew Day Fundraiser. It was a challenge, but I was able to find a home for almost everything. We plan on having another Sew Day next spring, but I think we will make blocks for Veterans. I already pulled a big box of patriotic and RWB scraps to start cutting. You can’t be too prepared!

I did find a bit of time to cut and sew up some flannel scraps that all seemed to work together into a nice little quilt top. I think I cut the rectangles at ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel Scraps from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Whew! Yesterday was a good day but it sure cut into my work time last week. We had our first Sew Day Fundraiser. Poor planning on my part because I scheduled it the same day as the Civil War game here in Eugene. Not only was traffic bad, but lots of people stayed home to watch the game.

I did get a fantastic surprise...one of my readers traveled hours to stop by and bring us a huge stack of blocks and some fabric. She couldn't stay and sew but it made my day that I got to meet ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel Bindings from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I had so many other scrap plans for this weekend but we received a huge box of flannel from an estate sale. The top of the box looked great but it didn't take long to realize this came from a garment maker. The bottom of the box was all weirdly shaped leftovers.

I decided to just cut them into flannel bindings. I don't often put flannel bindings on quilts - only if both the top and the back are flannel. Due to the thickness of the quilt in those cases, I cut my binding at 3" wide. I am ...

A Weekend at the Cottage from The Cozy Quilter

My friend, Christine, and I had a few days away at the cottage last weekend. We brought our sewing machines, projects, and handwork with us, as well as some books to read and good food to eat. It was a pretty relaxing weekend. A storm blew through and the power was off for 12 hours, but we found lots to do. We even toasted bagels and boiled water for tea on the BBQ!

I started a Tiny House quilt (online class by Jo Avery). My houses still need roofs and chimneys but I did didn't have the right colour ...

Orange Month for the RSC from The Cozy Quilter

Orange is the colour for June for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge so I dug into my 2.5" squares bin and pulled out all of the orange squares. I cut a few from my orange fat quarter bin to add some variety before making 6 orange hollow nine patch blocks. I am getting quite a stack of these blocks! When I run out of the centre squares, I will put the blocks together to make a quilt.

I continue to knit away on my scarf when the mood hits me...Maybe it will be done in time to wear it ...

Flannel Selvages from The Cozy Quilter

I dug out my bin of flannel selvages this week, (yes--I have sorted all my selvages by colour but the flannel ones are all together.) and top stitched them onto a strip of lightweight non fusible interfacing. These two strips and two others will be used in the scrappy flannel baby quilt that I am making. No matter how hard I try, I never seem to run out of scraps.

The binding is on the quilted Advent calendar for the church bazaar. I added a ribbon to the top of each of the little ornaments and now I am adding ...

This week's activities from The Cozy Quilter

In a previous post, I was lamenting the thickness of the pitcher plant stem in my rug hooking project. A couple of hooking friends suggested I try hooking a single line of stitches with two strands of yarn. This looks so much better! If you look at the part at the lower end of the stem where the green leaves are hooked around the stem, it looks to be the right width now. You can see from this picture that I got almost all of the leaves done this week. I hope to move on to the flowers this week ...

Sewing Retreat Report and Gardening from The Cozy Quilter

Last weekend, my husband and I went to the Camp Kintail Crafter's Retreat--Christine, my usual accomplice at retreats, had other plans for the weekend so my husband agreed to go with me. He did some reading and worked on weathering some model train cars. We also went for several walks--it was a gorgeous sunny weekend. I finished off the last three blocks for this quilt. I have not decided what to name it yet... The blocks are not put together yet as they have to be all trimmed to the exact same size first. They are bigger than standard ...

Oh Scrap! : Not My Scraps from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Every once in a while, we get a stack of already cut squares in a package. We do have a space to store these little jewels, but I am usually too inspired to play with bits that aren't my own.

In this case, these were flannel scraps that measured 6" square. I grabbed all the ones that I thought could work together and started sewing.

In no time at all, I had a sweet little quilt top. The red stands out a bit, but I think with the right backing and binding, we can make it work. I will ...

Flannel quilt for beginners from Pieced Brain

Here’s a quick flannel quilt for beginners, perfect as a graduation gift or home decor. You can make it in one day!

Suede Satchel

My middle son turns 25 today! I had been collecting flannels for a few years to make the Suede Satchel quilt for him, and, while on a retreat at Lake Okoboji earlier this month, I finally put it together! It is smaller than my original pattern – it measures 48″ x 64″ with blocks that finish at 8″ – and I hope he will enjoy it as a throw as he hangs out with his cat, Junior ...
