Good Vibes Getting to Finished Quilt Top Stage! from Quilty Folk

What a summer. I really need to quit having any expectations and just learn to go with the flow. Had to have my computer worked on last week and for some reason our internet is moving slower than molasses the last while too. We're supposed to have fiber optic in our area of town some day in the future. Knowing this county? It's still gonna be a few years.*sigh

Coronacrazy progress

An Excellent Week from The Cozy Quilter

I have had an excellent week, filled with fun activities and lots of stitching time so there is lots to blog about today. As you know, I like to cross stitch in the car. This week, I finished off the light purple lupin on the right side of my cross stitch project and now I am working on the lighter green coloured leaves at the bottom. There are also a few more pink stitches to add, but I will soon be doing the outlining stitches.

A friend has a new granddaughter and, of course, I made baby E a quilt ...

Sporadic Quilting These Days from Quilty Folk

Just gonna catch up for a minute and then disappear for a couple more weeks. I can't seem to keep up with everything going on lately, so if it seems like I've been checked out for awhile, that's probably why. I'm not at total overwhelm, but close.*Ugghh What has happened to my life? Plentiful quilting time seems like such a luxury these days!

Peach on Earth from Sew Preeti Quilts

Although I had completed Blush, I had plenty of strips left over. It was time to play improv.

Strips and Scraps

Pop of Green

As I pieced strips of varying lengths together, I added a skinny strip of green fabric to add a pop of contrast! What do you think?

Peach, Coral, Gold and Green :-)

Here is the finished quilt. I have named it "Peach on Earth".

Peach on Earth, 42" by 45"

Giraffes on the Backing

Finishing at 42" by 45", "Peach on Earth" will be making an appearance in the Quilts (Throw or Larger) category.

Easy as pie baby quilts - and Finally Finished! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Make lemonade from lemons, right? And I’m a huge fan of lemon pie.

Fifteen years ago I started a quilt (actually, several quilts were started) and did not finish it. This was back in the days of owning a quilt shop where my eyes were bigger than the time I had to get things done.

A book by Sandy Bonsib—“Sweet Treats”—had several easy-to-make quilts, each based around two blocks, and all named for pies and other desserts.

At the time, I thought it would be a good idea for a club at the quilt shop. I started ...

Cozy Flannel Scraps from The Cozy Quilter

I keep all of my flannel scraps in a large tote bag and when the bag starts to overflow, I make a scrappy flannel baby quilt to tame them. Last week, I showed the crumb blocks I made at a sewing day with my guild and this week, I put those scrappy blocks together to make a baby quilt top. I have enough of that darker blue left to make the binding too. When I give one of these quilts away, I always write a note to go with it with washing and drying instructions as well as suggestions to ...

Still Binding and Progress on the Sunflowers from The Cozy Quilter

Easter Greetings from Finn! We had our family Easter Dinner on Friday afternoon and Finn dressed up for the occasion!

Snack time featured a chick cheese ball surrounded by a cracker nest.

I spend some time doing cross stitch this week and just about finished the lower left flower in this last quadrant. I have a couple of new projects waiting in the wings when this is done.

I picked up my modern sampler quilt from the long armer's house this week and trimmed it up so I could sew on the binding. I don't usually measure the ...

Yet Another Retreat... from The Cozy Quilter

It's true. My friend, Christine and I have attended two quilting retreats in March, two weeks apart. (We won't mention that we were away for a week at the end of February at QuiltCon in Raleigh, NC...). This is the end of our quilting retreats for until November, when we have two more. We are both very productive on the retreats and manage to get lots of sewing done. It's amazing what you can accomplish over the course of 2 1/2 or 3 days of concentrated time with no cooking, dishes and other distractions! I spent ...

Crafting a Quilted Garden: DIY Baby Playmat with Free Pattern and Tutorial from Craft Gossip

The process of making the patchwork baby playmat with a garden scene and spring indicators sounds delightful and full of creativity. Here’s a breakdown of the instructions provided:

Design Layout: Start by deciding the layout of the design. You can draw it on paper to visualize and plan what elements to include on the surface of the playmat. The inspiration for this garden scene with flowers, leaves, butterflies, ladybugs, bees, and a hidden rabbit came from various sources on the internet, but the creator drew their own design. Adjustments to the layout may be made as the work progresses ...

Newborn Charity Quilt from Mulberry Patch Quilts

Mikayla’s Grace is a wonderful charity in my area of Wisconsin that supports families with a baby in the NICU (neonatal ICU) and those who experience the death of a child or pregnancy loss at hospitals in the Dane County area.

Crafters from all over make beautiful handmade baby items that they sew, knit or crochet and send to Mikayla’s Grace — from gowns, hats, and booties, to baby blankets and quilts. Several times a year volunteers meet to assemble these donations into care packages and deliver them to local hospitals to distribute.

Melissa recently sent out an email ...

Spring has Sprung! from The Cozy Quilter

Warm, sunny weather was with us most of this past week. (We won't discuss the snow that we had last weekend!) I have put away all of our winter decorations and have pulled out the Spring things! I want to sew with Spring colours too. My MIL likes to have her room decorated for the season so I am working on a Spring wall hanging for her. The rabbit and flowers are attached to the background with fusible appliqué and I used a narrow zigzag stitch around the shapes to hold everything down. I plan on getting this quilted ...

Quilting Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

Last weekend, I sewed for three days straight at the semi-annual Oxford Quilter's Guild retreat. Early in the pandemic, I cut up many of my scraps into 2.5" squares and put them into piles by colour into a plastic shoebox. I challenged myself to make quilts using these squares to use them up. I have made several quilts with these squares but still had lots left. I brought them and some gray and white print yardage with me to the retreat. I had designed this quilt in my head and put all the nine patches together at the ...

Rowan Cade's Baby Quilt from Angel Scraps Quilting

Here is a baby boy's quilt that I have worked on for quite a while, a little here and there. Then I found out another baby boy was coming in our family, so I finally finished it just in time for the baby shower!

I had a lot of the blue and green strips left over, so another identical quilt is in progress.

More Baby Quilts from Modern Sunbonnet Sue

I need to stop & write more frequently. I begin and end a project and need to document it but, I don’t take the time. Just last week I began another baby quilt for my best friend’s first grandchild. And I’m thinking about what to make for a niece that’s expecting later this year. So, […]

Friday Finish - Baby Quilt from Urban Quilter

A.J.'s Baby Quilt Ready for Binding

I finished quilting the baby quilt that my friend Amanda made. She started from a panel and added some flying geese blocks and border strips to complete her design. It turned out really cute! For the quilting I used a variegated yellow/orange thread and did a medium-sized stipple over the whole center of the quilt. The borders got a pair of wavy lines to frame the quilt. I returned the quilted top to Amanda to add binding.

One Monthly Goal: February 2024 from Urban Quilter

Baby Quilt by A.J.

January's goal was to finish the leaf appliques on my tropical quilt. That didn't get done, but I made significant progress: out of 38 I finished 8 leaves, traced, fused, and cut out another 16 and got more fusible so I can do the rest.

My goal for February is to machine quilt the baby quilt my friend made. It is basted and ready to go and I have selected threads for the top and the back. I want to have it quilted, pressed, and trimmed by the end of the month at ...

All the 2023 Quilty Finishes {Finally!} & A Little Bramble Blooms Progress from Quilty Folk

A belated look-back at all the 2023 finishes here at Quilty Folk! Once again, life has gotten in the way of my quilty forward progress. What a shock and surprise, right? I must be human.

2023 Finishes--A

It was a very slow year for quilt finishes, coming in at 10 quilt total. Considering all that went on last year though, I feel like it was an amazing feat.

2023 Finishes--B

Since I'm throwing this up on the blog for my own benefit, it's probably best to keep it brief.

A Bit of Everything from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Today, I have a little bit of everything to share with you.

Let's go biggest to smallest quilt.

Here is the 5th Log Cabin quilt made from all green blocks. I always find it interesting how blocks arrive. First came a lot of blue. Then it seemed every package contained green blocks. Lately all of the blocks have been mostly purple.

On the back, I used a rich leaf print sent in by Beth

This quilt measures 66" square.

This next quilt was sent in by Karen for me to quilt. I am in love with this pattern. Looks ...

Crumby Stars, Counted Cross Stitch and Mending... from The Cozy Quilter

I'm doing really well working on some sort of knitting, stitching or sewing every day in January. So far, I have only missed one day! I finished piecing my crumby star blocks this week and put all the blocks together. The blocks are 12" square so at this stage, the quilt top was 36 by 28". I want it to be a wee bit bigger so I will add 3.5" borders all around using the background material. I am not sure of what I will use for backing yet...maybe some flannel. I will be quilting this one ...
