I like a good challenge! At the Corvallis Modern Quilt Guild retreat, I made a donation quilt top from donated fabric and bits from my own stash. The pattern kept morphing as I made progress. Another guild member will quilt and bind. What fun! #quiltsky

After machine binding my quilts for so long, I need to get in the habit of hand stitching it. One of the perks of having a quilt judged is getting notes to improve on! #quiltsky

The quilt coat is finished! I explored ice dying the sections after piecing but before quilting. I’m pretty excited to try this method with future projects! #quiltsky #quiltcoat

Sometimes you have to put yourself out there. It’s fun to see your work hanging in a show. #oregonquiltfestival #quiltsky

It’s rinse time! Here’s a quick look at some wet fabric 😂 This is the result of melting ice, slowly releasing fiber reactive dye into Pima Base quilters cotton. #quiltsky

One of these years, I’ll make it to Quilt Con, but I’ll have to convince my loved ones to celebrate two major milestones there? At least #quiltfromhomecon makes me feel included 🥰 #quiltsky Here’s my personal best in show (and freshly submitted to the Oregon Quilt Festival happening next week!).

Do I need another quilt coat? Not really, but it seems to be my go-to method of using up leftover blocks from a project. #quiltsky #quiltcoat

Now that I have my sewing machine back from the “doctor,” I’m making headway on my linen pojagi jacket.

Today felt like a good day to switch up the quilts. I like to make seasonal changes (plus it’s a good excuse to make more quilts!). #quiltsky

Is this the definition of insanity? Nah, just sewing hundreds of 2.5” squares together to help ward off the feeling of existential dread. #quiltsky

I hope this little pop of color brightens your day! It’s an original design of mine and I’m curious if I should write a pattern for it. We’ll see… #quiltsky

Limping along with “old faithful” my sewing machine from the early 2000s. I was told if it needs parts, it’s done for good. I just can’t stop quilting while my newest machine is in the shop! #quiltsky
