Stitches in September

A very short update this month.

This month has been challenging.

Of course no one can expect to keep going well all the time.

My head has been rather up and down. Migraine head. Unable to focus.

It's not nice.

But

I did have a few good days too. And have got some Stitching done. But nowhere near as much as normal for me.

I have started this Small Baby Blanket for my Neighbours new Grandson due in November.

Checking over this post I can see I've taken a picture of the above Blanket ...

Week 44 of 2025 from Thread Head

This week I have been working on the sleeves of the crochet cardigan -

I am crocheting them concurrently with the same colours.

Since I am no longer following a pattern I am using a sewing pattern to shape the sleeves.

This is an idea from Lutterloh patterns.

Photos from Around -

Some of the older hens have started moulting (they are about 18 months old now), and egg production has dropped (12 chickens and only 2 or 3 eggs a day - we don't think the young ones have started laying yet).

Frosty morning.

Home from the Guild Retreat from The Cozy Quilter

I just got home from our guild quilt retreat about an hour ago and decided to share some of my projects on my blog. First up, handwork! Christine and I watched the World Series baseball games on the Friday and Saturday nights and while we watched, we did some cross stitch. She worked on her Halloween project and I added more stitches to my Fall trees. We had hoped for a different winner of the Championship but it was not to be this year.

I also did some hand quilting at the retreat --more diagonal lines have been added to ...

The Corner is Added from Quilts....etc.

Wow – 3 years and 10 1/2 months of English Paper Piecing (EPP by hand) and the top of Noriko’s Star is done – well that is I still need to sew around the edges (I do this 2 times) and cut straight sides – that is why I sew around the edges to make […]

Back to Hand Quilting from The Cozy Quilter

I have a collection of completed quilt tops waiting to be quilted. Sometimes, I just don't have inspiration on how to quilt them and other times, I just don't have time. This week, one of them yelled "pick me" for hand quilting so I got started. This pineapple log cabin was one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts a few year ago. Each block is foundation pieced on a printed fabric so the finished quilt will have three layers of fabric as well as batting. I am big stitch quilting it with gray 28wt thread. I am starting ...

Week 42 of 2025 from Thread Head

This week I finished the body of the crochet cardigan I am making -

I am not really following the pattern now, so if the sleeves don't work it could be a vest.

We finished harvesting the garden this week -

Here are the beets - trays ready for the freeze dryer and jars of pickled beets.

We had so many carrots this year, more than we could store in the fridge, so I tried some new ways of preserving them. Freeze dried, pickled, and pressure canned slices - 1L & 500ml (quarts and pints) jars (plus lots more to eat fresh).

Tried out ...

Gift Quilt Reveal, Cross Stitch and Happy Thanksgiving! from The Cozy Quilter

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving! Our daughter and Finn are here for the weekend and we had a turkey dinner with my husband's family today. I put out my pumpkin decorations this week. I even raked some leaves--it really feels like fall now with cooler temperatures and the trees changing colour.

I'm adding another tree to the Forest cross stitch picture. It looks a bit odd now but will look better when it is all filled in.

Finn came with us to the farmer's market this morning and I managed to get him to pose in front of the ...

Tuesday Newsday from Quarter-Inch Capers

Okay, the title is corny, but it rhymes! Sometimes coming up with a post title is the hardest part. I worked several hours at Connie’s shop on Saturday sewing poppy blocks.

Poppy Challenge - 12 Hour - In Store

I worked until my back started hurting—there were 9 or 10 of us there, and we got close to 100 blocks done. I think I went home around 5pm. That was enough for me!

I got a cortisone shot in my hand about three weeks ago, and I have been crocheting a lot since I’m no longer in pain.

Fall Cross Stitch from The Cozy Quilter

Hello! We have been away and now we are back home. We travelled from where we live in Southern Ontario around Lakes Huron and Superior to Manitoba and back with lots of interesting stops along the way. I will share a few pictures from our trip later in this post. I started a new Fall counted cross stitch project on our trip and spent many hours working on it in the car and while relaxing in the evenings at various places where we stayed. There was not much colour on the trees on the way to Manitoba but Fall was ...

Rug Hooking, Placemats and A Blast from the Past from The Cozy Quilter

I'm happy to report that my rug hooking is completely done! Right now, it is pinned to my design wall but I will be hanging it on the wall in my sewing room soon. Such a nice reminder of our trip to Newfoundland in 2023.

I was cleaning out a box in my fabric storage area and found the bag I made in Grade 7 Home Ec class. In those days, the girls went to Home Ec and the boys went to Shop Class. All the girls made this bag...the outside is denim which the teacher had made ...

Placemats, HST's and the Hooking is Done! from The Cozy Quilter

I went to the guild sewing day this week and worked on my pitcher plant rug hooking project the whole time. I managed to finish all of the hooking! The first picture below was after I steamed it and the second picture was taken before steaming. It really makes a difference, making it look much smoother afterwards!

I have started the wool edging but forget how to turn the corner and will have to consult with one of my hooking friends on how to do this. The wool for the edging is a dark purple, even though it looks black ...

On a Roll from The Cozy Quilter

I have been in the mood to finish some quilts and so I have another finished quilt to show this week. My yellow and green potato chip quilt is done. I'm calling it "Sunny Day". The striped binding was in my stash. This quilt will be donated to my MIL's nursing home to be raffled off as a fundraiser. (Another quilt is quilted and will be bound shortly--it is a gift so no pictures yet)

I spent quite a bit of time rug hooking this week and made great progress on my project. Lots of blue still and ...

Walking Foot Quilting from The Cozy Quilter

I finished off the quilting and binding of the hollow 9 patch baby quilt earlier this week and got to work on quilting my yellow and green potato chip quilt. I am using 28 wt green thread on top and white 50 wt thread in the bobbin. This is a bigger quilt so it is taking longer to quilt...more material to manage as I quilt. I will work on this again soon--I'm hoping to have it done to show on next week's blog post. This is a donation quilt.

And here is the big TaDa! The hollow ...

Crochet Blanket Festival Fever

On part 5 of 6 now. So getting there.

I've had to slow down this last week or so. Fingers tired and Brain getting overloaded!

Every row is different so I need a clear head. But it is such a Fun & Happy Little Blanket. Full of Love & Colour.

Time To stop and smell the flowers.

I found these Applique Flowers while looking for my eyes for Frodo. Any suggestions of what I could make with them?

And it all fits into itself when you pull the drawstrings. Can't show you that though because it's already started it's W.I. Show Journey.

Not a pattern. Just something I made up as I went along. So don't ask for a second one!

Rug Hooking, Knitting and a RSC Baby Quilt in Progress from The Cozy Quilter

After making 6 purple hollow nine patch blocks last week, I took out the bag of blocks that I have made so far this year and discovered that I had enough to make a baby quilt. I took them to the guild sewing day this week and laid them out on the design wall as shown above. I sewed them together and today, pin basted it and started the quilting--diagonal lines in both directions through each square.

I'm using 28wt white thread in the top and 50 wt white in the bobbin. The backing was in my stash.

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 ...

Sunday Stash May 25, 2025 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers. A lot of life and no sewing happened this week.

Thanks to everyone who participates in Sunday Stash. I enjoy reading your posts, although I am blocked from commenting on half of them. Even WordPress blocks me, and I’m on WordPress. Some of you have used an amazing amount of fabric this year. You rock!

I made a final trip to Joann’s Friday thinking I could score some batting. I kinda wish I hadn’t gone. There was almost nothing left, and people were buying carts of shelving. It made me sad to ...
