I would love regional quilt cons to meet those that live nearby. It would be more affordable to travel to, so you might have a unique turn out too

There was much discussion on the backing for this quilt - what are your thoughts, #quiltsky ?

First picture is of the VERY scrappy back. Second is the slightly scrappy front

Front pattern is Adriana by Bay Avenue Quilts

Incredible! How is it quilted?

Thank you! It’s only 36”x48” so it actually went by quickly!

It’s a scrappy quilt, so I used what I had!

Word of the day….

Backside of that same quilt block

Finished quilting 1/12 squares

Domestic free motion, domestic straight line and a dash of hand quilting 😉

Really excited about this scrappy quilt. Very simple, just a variation on a sawtooth star

I see a lot in common between object oriented design and pant fittings 😉

Sounds like a super interesting conversation!

Quilt guild meetings are often the highlight of my month and I say that with pride

I genuinely have a great and busy life and still quilt guild meetings are time well spent

Missouri Star Takes Controlling Interest in Robert Kaufman Fabrics - Craft Industry Alliance Corporate records show that Missouri Star Quilt Company now makes up the majority of the board of Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

Certainly an interesting development in the quilting world. craftindustryalliance.org/missouri-sta...
My personal take is that I will be shopping at my local family-owned small business quilt shop and switching to Paintbrush Solids.

Garment sewing as a quilter feels like speaking Spanish vs Portuguese. It feels like you should know what the pattern is saying, but it’s still a foreign language

You lose most of the scrap to seam allowance when they are that small. Yes you could make something out of this, but it’s going to take awhile to get something as large as a stocking

I’m a quilter, but I have to make a garment every now and then just to remind myself how much I like quilting

Interesting you say that! I see a pineapple block with the added circles (maybe as appliqué or quilting after the fact?)

This is how you know you “made it” as a quilter 🏆

One step closer to releasing the latest improvements to the quilt backing and binding calculators.

Anyone interested in helping me test? (Pretty please)

I’d do snowflakes or Christmas ornaments in the quilting!

This project was in collaboration with two friends Erin (@seamrippersociety) & Elysha (@quiltblocked). It documents the amount of miles a person must travel in the USA to get abortion care during May 2024. We based this off of the NPR map which I have linked in my bio.

We believe in choice. 💙

My latest, the “No. quilt”. I just submitted to #quiltcon2025

Based on some of the best advice I’ve taken to heart as a young woman:

▪️No is a complete sentence. ▪️

Designed using traditional quilt blocks - representative of the woman that said no before us.

I LOVED your reel on this quilt. So happy to see you here!

Saw this on Reddit and gasped! Love seeing it here again! Are you planning to do other music inspired quilts?
