RSC Week 15 - Purple Progress and a Few Finishes from Grandma's Red Needle

It's Saturday again and time for RSC

I completely missed last Saturday and now we are already halfway through April! How did that happen?! Cooler days (beginning 'cold season') although the last days have been HOT and humid with thunderstorms.

Slow progress on the purples. First I did was to make the blocks for the Swirling Stars quilt

The small blocks (not very clever to photograph white on white!)

The big block

Do you remember the bunny fabric?

A little purple here too and part of the bunny stripes has become placemats, mug rug and tea cozy. I used ...

Weekend Sewing and Updated UFO / WIP Lists from Grandma's Red Needle

Happy Wednesday!

(I started writing this post Monday, some paragraphs are updated)

After working hard on WIP's and actually finish some of them (previous post), it took me a day or so to decide what's next.

I decided to work on the tea cozies. They are quilted and ready for binding.

Update: 2 tea cozies are done, just have to fix the loop on each.

I've this one left to do. Insulated tea cozies are a bit tedious to make, especially to machine sew the binding through four layers cotton batting, 2 layers insul bright + the front ...

This, That, a Finish and Christmas in May from Grandma's Red Needle

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good week and got some quilting done. Since my previous post, I've been busy with several projects. I usually work on one project at a time, although not always get them finished. That's quite normal, isn't it?! :)

First of all, I have a finished UFO!

Yep! Another Postage Stamp Quilt! This is #9 (my UFO list). It's the same size as the other PSQ I finished recently; 72 x 95 inches / 183 x 241 cm.

This is the one I struggled to get the 108" backing straight. We ...

Scrappy Log Cabin Flimsy and Tea Cozy from Grandma's Red Needle

First of all; THANK YOU EVERYONE for your comments on my previous post!

Currently I have an email problem, which I hope to sort out soonest.

I got so excited and almost out of breath about the scrappy log cabin quilt (UFO) that I couldn't stop until it was done!

Well, I did eat and sleep in between! LOL

100 blocks later, this is how it looks like. It measures approximately 80 x 80 inches (2 x 2 meters). In my previous post, I said I have 122 blocks. That's wrong and I don't know how I ...

Stitching a Tea Cozy Garden from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

A few months ago, I (Teri) joined the local chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America. Each month at the meetings, an embroidery project is offered; at my first meeting it was a cute little tea cozy, made with buttons. I love tea, and I have a vast collections of buttons, so I gathered some fun buttons and threads and set off on my new adventure.

I love to challenge myself to learn new stitches or to make them with different threads or applications. For this project, I chose to focus on using Painters Threads and floss by Weeks Dye ...

Advent Calendars and Tortilla Warmers from Grandma's Red Needle

WELCOME JULY!
Where on earth did the first part of 2019 go?! I'm sure someone stole it, as one said!

I'm busy as ever and determined to finish some Advent Calendars.

Over the last days I have quilted, added pockets and sleeve to four of these. I have one left to do, I ran out of fabric for the back! UGH! More on the way, expected to arrive end of July.

There are 24 single small pockets, measuring 2 x 2 inches. They are tedious to add and I must say I was relieved when all 96 pockets ...
