overlapping tiles

Almost 10 Years in the Making... from The Cozy Quilter

In October 2014, I took a class with Kaffe Fassett called "Overlapping Tiles". We spent all day cutting squares and putting them on our design walls to come up with a pleasing composition. Kaffe and Brandon came around the room to each quilter to make suggestions about colours/fabrics to add or take away and arranging the tiles. They added 5 fabrics to my quilt including the constant fabric--none of which I would have added myself. I finished the quilt top a year ago. I originally planned to make a queen sized quilt, but eventually downsized it to a lap ...

Lupin Stitching in the Car in the Rain from The Cozy Quilter

Today, my husband was volunteering at a special event at a local museum. I went with him so I could look at the WW2 displays around the property. Shortly after we arrived, it started to rain and so I stayed in the car and listened to an audiobook while I added more stitches to my counted cross stitch Lupins. After about an hour, the rain stopped and the sun came out. People started arriving and the day was a success.

I asked my daughter and Finn to send me a picture of her recent cross stitch finish and they sent ...

Two Quilts Pin Basted, Navy Scrappy Blocks, Sunflowers and Visitors from The Cozy Quilter

It is so much easier on the knees and the back to pin baste quilts on a table rather than the floor. I took advantage of the tables at the Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre this past week to get two quilts ready for quilting. The first one is a pattern by Christine at Tesselate Quilts. I pieced the top over a year ago and it has been hanging out in the pile of completed tops for too long!

My Kaffe Fassett Overlapping Tiles quilt was also pin basted this week. I have a quilting plan for both of these quilts--using ...

UFO Progress, Yellow Blocks, Sunflowers and Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve, Nfld. from The Cozy Quilter

Christine and I got together this week for a few hours to sew and chat. Christine cut out squares for a disappearing nine patch baby quilt and I finished sewing my Overlapping Tiles quilt top. I have not trimmed it yet--I may even do that after it is quilted to avoid all those bias edges as I quilt. The backing fabric is ready--it is the turquoise with the pink flowers that is the constant in the quilt top. My husband held the top for me to take a picture --it was a bit breezy!

I bought myself a Half Rectangle ...

Guild Sewing Day from The Cozy Quilter

I have not attended the weekly Oxford Guild sewing day since before we went to Newfoundland and finally went this past Monday. I like going because I get a lot done and there are lots of friendly quilters to chat with as I sew. I usually bring a UFO that I want to move to the finish line. The last time, I worked on my Overlapping Tiles quilt that I started 9 years ago in a class with Kaffe Fassett, and since it is still not done, I brought it along again. I managed to get all of the diagonal ...

Resurrecting an Old UFO from The Cozy Quilter

Back in October of 2014, I took a class called "Overlapping Tiles" with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Malby. At the end of the day, I rolled up my project in a piece of flannel design wall, gathered up my fabrics and put all of it in a bin, never to even look at it again until this past Monday. I knew it was in my sewing room because every so often, I would move the bin around, always thinking that I should get back to this project and get it done. The last time I moved the bin, I remembered ...
