Lupins, Slow Knitting and a Finished Quilt Top from The Cozy Quilter

My lupin blocks continue to accumulate...I finished 4 more blocks this afternoon. 28/48 blocks have been completed. This fat quarter adds some more red-violet to the mix.

I have four of each of these 7 blocks.

I started a new knitting project last weekend...another facecloth in turquoise. I have a few more repeats of the pattern to go before this one is done. I will be working on it tomorrow.

The final layout for the London Modern Guild HST BOM was published this past week so I set to getting my blocks sewn together. My blocks are ...

Lupins, a Bee and a Sheep from The Cozy Quilter

My lupin block collection continues to grow...although, this week, the blocks were made with Finn's assistance, which means they took a lot longer to make than usual. This week's blocks were made with a purple grunge dots fat quarter.

So, now I have a total of 12/48 blocks made for this quilt. Here are the three lupin fabrics I have used so far:

I have a FQ chosen for my next set of blocks.

I started a new counted cross stitch project this week--a free pattern from The Blackberry Rabbit (Sorry, I can't provide a ...

A Few Finishes from The Cozy Quilter

My sewing machine was moved up to the dining room table as the sewing room is not a safe place for Finn to hang out with me...too many things for a curious little dog to get into. I started out this week making three more blocks for the London Modern Guild HST BOM. The patterns for April and May were posted this week --three blocks in total. Here are my blocks.

And here are all 8 that I have made so far. The final reveal of how they are to be put together will happen at the end of ...

Knitting, Binding and Cross Stitching from The Cozy Quilter

I'm still stitching away on February's cross stitch ornament from Linen and Threads. I will add some more stitches this weekend for slow Sunday stitching. I need to buy some extra skeins of these colours so that I can use them for all 12 ornaments. I have a plan in my head for a project which will include all 12...

My friend, Pat, is teaching me to knit. This week, I made the big leap from working on my red practice sampler to actually starting a real project using a pattern! We went shopping yesterday at the local ...

Embroidery Done and some HST blocks from The Cozy Quilter

I sat down with a cup of tea by my side and added more embroidery stitches to my project several times this past week. Yesterday, I finished the last few stitches, and it is done! As directed, I soaked it in warm water and the pink lines on the fabric magically disappeared.

I had fun trying out some new stitches and when I find the hoop that came with the kit (I know I put it somewhere safe and now it is MIA), I will hang it in my sewing room.

I bought the kit at QuiltCon a year ago ...

Sewing Escapades from The Cozy Quilter

It's been a busy sewing week with lots of progress on several projects. I also received some squishy packages in the mail today. The first package contained my Modern Guild Make a Mini, Make a Friend swap quilt from Anne L in Texas. When I signed up for the swap, I said that I liked Frank Lloyd Wright and orange...I think she nailed it! Thanks for a wonderful mini, Anne!

I made my block for the March comfort quilt for the Elgin Piecemakers this week too. It is a wonky quarter log cabin block in gray and white ...

Slow Stitching and some Blocks from The Cozy Quilter

Since I finished my Tula Pink 100 Modern blocks sampler quilt top earlier this week, I needed to find something to sew this week. I am trying to work on my UFO's for a challenge for the Oxford Quilt Guild so I pulled out the UFO bin and chose my spinning 4 patches, made at least two years ago. Earlier in the week, I posted some pictures of colour options for a checkerboard layout and several people voted for the blue fabric over the other choices.

I got looking at the gray and blue fabrics again, and decided to ...
