Progress on Several Fronts from The Cozy Quilter

I managed to do some knitting or sewing or cross stitching every day this week! My Gross Morne scarf is now 1 foot (31 cm) long. I have decided to include the measurement each time I show it as it is hard to tell from the photo alone if I have made any progress. I still have a ways to go on this project!

I made my husband and my daughter pillowcases for Christmas but ran out of time to make one for myself so I did that this week. The two main fabrics were purchased in the East Coast ...

Spring Sewing from The Cozy Quilter

Well, winter did not rear its head this week, thankfully, even though it was a bit chilly for a couple of days.

I managed a few hours in the sewing room this week and completed two more placemats for Meals on Wheels. I have three more tops made and they will be quilted and bound this coming week. I have fabric picked out for the rest of the dozen placemats I will be making and hope to finish them soon as well. I am the type of person who likes to get things done ahead of time so I don ...

Sewing My Scraps and some Slow Stitching from The Cozy Quilter

The colours for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this month are light and medium/bright blue so I made two more blocks for my RSC challenge quilt for 2021. I used 17 different blues in each block.

Here are the five blocks I have made so far this year.

One of the guilds I belong to, the Elgin Piecemakers, has taken on a new charity project this year. We have 20 members and we have each agreed to make 12 placemats before November to be distributed to all of the Meals on Wheels recipients in our county. I got started on ...

Baby Quilt Done, Lap Quilt Started from The Cozy Quilter

Last week, I showed two piles of blocks for this baby quilt--the rectangular four patches and the I Spy blocks. I have way too many I spy fabrics but could not resist buying this one to add to my collection--who doesn't love a popsicle in the summertime?

I got busy at my sewing machine this week and put the quilt top together, quilted it on my DSM and did the binding...One completed baby quilt in less than a week!

Since I did not want to go out to a quilt store to buy backing, I pieced the backing ...

Stitching, Knitting and Cutting from The Cozy Quilter

I think I spent some time every day this week working on this table runner--the quilting took a long time and two bobbins of thread to finish. I made the string pieced triangles in an online workshop with Sarah Bond, hosted by the Modern Quilt Guild, 3 weeks ago.

The backing is a fun fabric purchased in the last year. I like the orange accents in it and the random "Hello". The binding is an orange solid I had in my stash. The bobbin had 50 wt thread in it but the top thread was 30 wt. Those quilting lines ...

Embroidery and Binding from The Cozy Quilter

This has been a busy week in the sewing department! I have worked on three different hand stitching projects and finished a quilt. Today, was the monthly meeting of the London Modern Guild and after our "business" meeting and show and tell, there was a delicious pot luck lunch and some Christmas crafts. I decided to make an embroidered snowflake ornament.

I traced the pattern onto the fabric with a pen that is almost the same colour as the thread I am using for the embroidery so you will have to look closely to see what is stitched already. I ...
