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 ...

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 ...

The sorting queen! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Thanks for the vote of confidence on my split 9-patch! I'm going to cut more strips and continue!

The last day of the retreat is always sad because everyone has to go home. But it's also exciting because you get to come home, unpack, and see everything you did!

Before I came home, I was determined to go through that bag of Oh Canada scraps and sort it out. This is what happened.

I found several bags with pieces from various projects, but it was a hodgepodge. I unsewed any pieces that were sewn together. I also found ...

Springhouse Retreat Day Two from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Late—I'm going to be late this morning. No, not because I was sleeping. Oh no—chatting! I accomplished stuff yesterday and actually accomplished what I planned. However, I did my fair share of chatting, and well, isn't that what a quilt retreat is all about? So I'm good with that!!!

I am still thrilled with what I'm accomplishing, and that's all that counts. So what did I get done? Have a look.

I got all the flannel I brought sewn into squares. There are 107 squares measuring 6 1/2", so that's a ...

Springhouse Retreat - Day One from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Well, this is my first blog on the new computer. All is good—I'm connected to the Wi-Fi at the retreat house. What is impressive—well, not really—is that everything is FAST!!! My goal will be to keep the crap out of the memory and the storage to keep it fast!

By the way, we are at the Springhouse Retreat in New Hamburg. It's a great place to sew! I got a chuckle when I went to bed. Some people have mentioned that my bedroom is cold, so imagine my surprise when I saw winter-themed flannel sheets ...

Setting goals from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I'm not sure I'm happy with Elle's comment about the flannel bits the other day. She said there are DOZENS of quilts in those scraps, and well, I hope not dozens, but there will be a lot. Slow, steady, and focused will get all that flannel out of my house.

I pulled the two kits from the shelves and added them to that area. I also found one bolt of flannel fabric, but I'm sure at least four or five more are sitting in the fabric bolt area. So yes, if I were to make tops ...

Recovery! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I counted the number of flannel quilt tops in that bag—25! To be fair, some of them are relatively small as they were made for children. But still! And I forgot to mention that I have a few bolts (5?) of flannel fabric that has to be used up! So yes, 2025 is the year of eliminating flannel from Studio B. WAIT—I also have a large flannel kit. That should be added to the mix. I wonder if there are more flannel kits?

I'm happy to report that another flannel quilt from the 2024 pile is loaded ...

FOCUS is key to success from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I've been learning so much about myself and how I function (or don't function). First, while I thought I was managing my stuff well, I wasn't. I was productive, yet I was struggling to meet deadlines. OK, I am productive, but I struggle with paperwork. And there are so many things to do.

The same is true for my quilting. There are just so many UFOs, kits, and other things.

I'm learning that focus seems to be a huge factor in making stuff happen. OK, so that's not rocket science at all. But when you ...

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

I am still working through my flannel scraps.

I didn't think I had that much but I keep making quilts!

For this little cutie, I pulled all the pink flannel scraps I had. I didn't have a lot of the animal fabric so I just used those as the quilt highlight.

It's very soft and cuddly!

This quilt measures 40" square.

For this lodge-themed little quilt, I not only used flannel scraps, but I also used a few flannel fat quarters I had and didn't know how else to use them.

To make this quilt, I ...

Flannel Fabric plans from Art In Search

Every year I make members of my family flannel pillowcases. I used to buy woodland themed fabric in the Adirondacks on vacation from a store in Inlet, NY. They sadly retired, closed, sold the building and a great tradition vaporized. I have searched for another source for a while and was able to get a bunch of it from Hancock's of Paducah and equilter. Some even on sale. I used to love the quality I bought- it was mostly Moda and Northcott, but they don't seem to be making it much anymore. I like to feel the fabric ...

Baby Quilt Done! from The Cozy Quilter

A few months ago, I dug into my flannel scraps and made a flannel vortex baby quilt top in an effort to tame the flannel scrap bin. I ended up with a quilt top and a still full to overflowing flannel scrap bin. Sigh... This week, I finished off the quilting using this nifty attachment to keep my curved lines equidistant from each other as I sewed. It worked really well! I found some red Kona to use for the binding and now this quilt is in my baby quilt storage area, ready to give away when a baby comes ...

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

Sadly, I didn’t get any of my scrappy HSTs this week. I went to go see if I could find any big gray scraps and I got sidetracked by Mount Flannel.

I have received a lot of flannel bits and I have just been piling them on a table in my sewing room.

I guess I was in the mood to deal with a few of them.

I pulled out a lot of the smaller chunks and decided to cut them up into 6.5” squares.

I then sewed them up into this cozy quilt top. I probably won ...
