A Variety of Projects from The Cozy Quilter

Somehow, I managed to do some sewing almost every day this past week. Two sunflowers are almost done in this quadrant of my sunflower cross stitch. I also added a bee and some leaves.

I'm going to a wedding shower tomorrow for my cousin's daughter. If you know her, please don't spill the beans. I am quite sure that the bride to be does not read my blog! I made her these pillowcases--they like to go camping so the canoe fabric was chosen with this in mind.

I also made her two coiled rope hot pads. The ...

Friday check in: ins and outs from With Strings Attached

The control arms are one of the core components of a suspension system and serve as the direct connection points between the front wheel assemblies and the vehicle's frame. The control arms allow a driver to steer a car while also guiding the wheels up and down with the road surface. Although they are simplistic in appearance, control arms have a vital role in a vehicle's overall stability and drivability. $943.95.

These spinning 4 patch blocks were cut from a piece of Kaffe Fassett fabric. I love the patterns in each block--so different even though they all came from the same fabric.

My husband ...

Midweek: half of the goal from With Strings Attached

xx

My OMG for September is to quilt two flimsies. I took 'em all out of the box (see yesterday's post). Since Bulleye Stars was underway I began with that. I made the flimsy over a year ago . It uses the South African shweshwe indigos that I'd been collecting one quilt show at a time. I basted it and began quilting. I didn't like the way the quilting was turning out but by the time I realized that I'd quilted far too much to rip anything out. Rather than torture myself I rolled up the quilt ...
