A Busy Week from The Cozy Quilter

Ta Da! My Put a Ring On It is done! I took this class during QuiltCon Together in February 2021 with Latifah Saffir, using her clammy rulers. I had the top done reasonable quickly but could not decide how I wanted to quilt it. This quilt kept telling me to hand quilt it, which I ignored until this Spring. By then, it was screaming to be hand quilted so I got to work. I used 28 wt Aurifil thread in green for the big stitch quilting. I'm really happy with this project! I will be hanging it on the ...

Yet Another Retreat... from The Cozy Quilter

It's true. My friend, Christine and I have attended two quilting retreats in March, two weeks apart. (We won't mention that we were away for a week at the end of February at QuiltCon in Raleigh, NC...). This is the end of our quilting retreats for until November, when we have two more. We are both very productive on the retreats and manage to get lots of sewing done. It's amazing what you can accomplish over the course of 2 1/2 or 3 days of concentrated time with no cooking, dishes and other distractions! I spent ...

Spring has Sprung! from The Cozy Quilter

Warm, sunny weather was with us most of this past week. (We won't discuss the snow that we had last weekend!) I have put away all of our winter decorations and have pulled out the Spring things! I want to sew with Spring colours too. My MIL likes to have her room decorated for the season so I am working on a Spring wall hanging for her. The rabbit and flowers are attached to the background with fusible appliqué and I used a narrow zigzag stitch around the shapes to hold everything down. I plan on getting this quilted ...

Last Post of 2023 from The Cozy Quilter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and some time to relax this past week once the festivities were over. I have managed to do a bit of knitting this week as well as some un-sewing (more on that later in this post!). During the month of December, I worked on knitting a new hat for my husband whenever he was out or otherwise occupied. Despite my best efforts, I did not get it done in time and he ended up unwrapping an unfinished gift. He was surprised and pleased with my gift to him, which makes it all worthwhile ...

Guild Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

This past weekend, my friend Christine and I went to the semi-annual Oxford Guild Quilt Retreat in Stratford. We both were very productive at the retreat--sewing morning, noon and night with breaks for meals and sleeping only! This is why there was no blogpost here this past weekend. I brought lots of projects with me--heaven forbid I run out of things to sew!

I made a couple of Christmas gifts, one of which I can show here now. This little wall hanging is for my MIL for her room in the nursing home where she lives. She loves Christmas and ...

Weight of Love, Sunflowers, and the Beginning of a Hat. from The Cozy Quilter

Late last week, I picked up my Weight of Love quilt from my local long armer, Julie. My goal for the week was to have it bound in time to bring it to the Oxford Quilter's Guild meeting on Thursday for show and tell. I finished the hand stitching on Thursday morning. Yahoo!

The backing fabric was in my stash. There are a few strips in my gray scrap bin from trimming the quilt.

Several years ago, I attended a quilt show featuring quilts from New Zealand. I purchased some New Zealand fat quarters and used them in this ...

Fall Leaves, Sunflowers and a Swatch from The Cozy Quilter

A couple of weeks ago, I pieced a fall leaves wall hanging and this week, I quilted and bound it. The background fabric is Essex linen and the print fabrics had all been in my stash for several years. My goal for this project was to use up almost all of these fabrics while making a gift for my MIL. I quilted it with straight lines using my walking foot.

I used the Essex linen for the binding and hanging sleeve and finished off the hand sewing this afternoon.

Here is the finished wall hanging, ready to bring to quilt ...

Picnic Plaid Wall Hanging Quilt in Painterly Petals from Busy Hands Quilts

I have another Picnic Plaid quilt to share with you today! This beautifully saturated fabric is Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman and is stunning on a bright white background in the Picnic Plaid quilt design. Such a bright and happy quilt!

The Picnic Plaid quilt pattern is a twist on the Granny's Square quilt block. The entire quilt is made with strip piecing and very few bias edges.

The Picnic Plaid quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Picnic Plaid Quilted Wall Hanging in Emma's Dry Goods from Busy Hands Quilts

Today's feature is a Picnic Plaid wall hanging in the Emma's Dry Goods fabric collection by Connecting Threads. It's a classic collection for those who like primitive and farmhouse country fabrics, with a range of colors and small prints.

The Baby size instructions in the Picnic Plaid quilt pattern are perfect for wall hangings and table top quilts; I wouldn't consider this a quilt for a baby!

Back to the Sewing Machine from The Cozy Quilter

I spent some quality time with my sewing machine this week. The Elgin Piecemakers Guild makes comfort quilts for adult chemo patients at our local hospital so each month, we each have to make a block in a certain colour scheme. I have my first four blocks for 2023 made. Here they are:

January: Blue and white.

February: Red, white and blue

March: Purple, pink and white

April: Blue and purple churn dash.

I worked on the last three houses for my Coming Home Quilt. I did not have any light turquoise thread with me at the sewing day this ...

Cottage Love Quilt Pattern - a Wall Hanging in Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a bright and happy Cottage Love wall hanging quilt! This is a quick and easy quilt pattern that you can make in a few hours for the Baby size, aka, Wall Hanging size.

Follow the Baby instructions to make the Wall Hanging size. A hanging rod pocket is attached to this quilt for easy hanging, since I am thinking this fabric is not typical for a Baby quilt and is better suited as a Wall Hanging.

This bright watercolor quilt is made with fabrics from my stash - Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman. This is the older ...

Finding my Rotary Cutter from The Cozy Quilter

The condition of my sewing room has deteriorated over the last month or so to the point where I could not find my rotary cutter... it was time for a clean up. I spent over an hour putting things away, folding fabric, sorting through piles, etc. and still no rotary cutter. I tried to think of the last time I used it...then, I remembered I used it at a recent guild sewing day---it was in the bag I took to the sewing day. Oh well, the sewing room is looking much better and I had a new project planned ...

Sewing Machine UFO and a Baby Quilt Top from The Cozy Quilter

I tackled a UFO this week--they will not get done unless I work on them! I participated in a round robin with some members of the Toronto Modern Guild last summer and made a wall hanging out of my centre block with a spool border made by Terri. The other borders/blocks will be used in future projects. I found some appropriate backing fabric and pieced some batting scraps before pin basting and quilting it with my walking foot. My slow stitching project this week was sewing the binding down. It is the same fabric as the background gray around ...

Favourites from 2021 from The Cozy Quilter

The end of the year is a good time to look back at what we have accomplished in the past 12 months. Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs hosts and annual "Best of..." party and so I will be linking this post up to her blog. I have done lots of machine sewing, hand stitching and knitting this year and it is hard to pick out which projects were my favourites. Here is my best effort!

1. My favourite hand stitching project was "Love Birds"--a counted cross stitch picture that I made for a friend's daughter and her husband ...

Three Finishes to Share from The Cozy Quilter

Like many of you, I love to make gifts at Christmas for my friends and family. Sometimes, a block I see on someone's blog or on Instagram catches my fancy and I print out the instructions. This was the case this week with this Peppermint Twist block from @runningstitchquilts. I made this block into a little table mat for a friend. She has already opened it as I thought she might like to display it this year. I used a snowflake print for the backing.

I finished the binding on my batik disappearing nine patch quilt last weekend. This ...
