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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I’m working on lots of projects. The afghan is close to a finish. Sorry about the weird sun spot in the photo.

Fairy Tales Live on Roofs is moving forward, slowly.

This shirt is in progress using this fabric.

And just because I wanted to, I started something new. Look at me stitching on 28 count lugana instead of aida.

All those projects and not a quilt in site. I may go back to a UFO once I finish the shirt. It ...

Busy Stitching Table, EPP Stars, Free Patterns, from Canadian Needle Nana

The Phoebes are building a nest on the old speaker at the back of the house again this year...two in a row. I can watch them from my chair in the TV room window. The two of them spent ages flying back and forth from a nearby tree to the site thoroughly checking it out before giving it an okay it seems.

They are both bringing material now I notice but I can't tell them apart, though one seems a little darker which might mean the male.

Working together which is nice to watch. They are beautiful birds ...

Sunday Stash April 27, 2025 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers.

I returned to stitching this week because it was too warm to work on the afghan. I started crocheting the next to last afghan section, which means the end is in sight. It’s huge, about twin size, and impossible to work on without a pile of it in my lap.

I’m also making a project bag out of the boro piece. Everything is cut, fused and ready for assembly. A finish this week would change next week’s numbers.

Happy Easter! from The Cozy Quilter

Happy Easter to all who celebrate this holiday! We had brunch with my husband's family yesterday so the rest of the weekend will be quiet. My niece helped me to make a bunny charcuterie board for the brunch yesterday and I managed to get a picture before people started to nibble. I will have to make more of these for other family gatherings.

I only have one more quilt that needs a hanging sleeve for the quilt show. I hope to get to that this weekend. I am one of those people that likes to have things done ahead ...

Crochet Crazy: Friday Finish! from Becca's Crazy Projects

It has been a while since I updated on my 6-Day Crochet Star blanket.

I ended the same way I started: with light gray. It's nice to finish something. I need to see what I have to make a scrappy version of this one. Some of the one's I've seen are simply stunning.
