From yesterday's visit to the zoo. #Caturday #ZooAtlanta #Lion #NapTime
A male lion on his back, having a sunny nap, with a tummy that tempts a dangerous belly rub. Lion is behind thick zoo window glass.

Very glad to use my "ugly" fabric to practice my diamond blocks before I hit the real fabric for my storm at sea quilt. I did break down and buy a special ruler which should come this weekend. Still learning, but wanted to show some work, even if not successful yet. Embrace progress. #QuiltSky
4 Quilt blocks of orange with yellow stars fabric diamond on white background against a grey measuring/cutting mat. They are different sizes by about a quarter inch. Small notes on each block with near-illegible writing on.

It's International Save the #Vaquita Day!

With fewer than 20 left, the vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day.

#SaveTheVaquita #Cetacean #whales #porpoise #endangeredspecies #conservation #Animalart #Sciart
A painting of 2 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2025 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back. This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

Quickish quilt block for the art along prompt Pumpkin. I got sudden inspiration for a DTIYS due in 3 weeks, so I will pursue that in the coming days!
Two pictures, one depicting strips of cut fabrics of light orange, dark orange, white, with smaller bit of green and brown. The second picture is the finished quilt block of a pumpkin with a stem and little leaf. Words on the empty background space of these two images: Pumpkin Block, Kelli Fannin pattern, 8.5 inch square.

I was frustrated I could not find some papers I tucked away in a clever place, and channeled my inner Tiffany Aching by saying "There's gonna be a reckoning if I don't find those". I cleaned the suspected closet and found them. Rode the momentum and cleaned the pantry too. Thanks Nac Mac Feegle!

I made a whole hecking quilt top in 5 days! First time making a chandelier quilt, and it was pretty fun. My brain is already noodling for the next quilted project. #QuiltSky
A set of 3 pictures on orange background: cut fabric with autumn-themed colors along with beige rectangles (5 x 2.5" and 7 x 2.5") intended for background, further progress of cut fabric and some completed quilt blocks (measure 8.5 inch after squaring). Final photo is a layout of rows on the slant showing a chandelier pattern quilt. Finished chandelier pattern quilt top with autumn-themed colors and prints.

Alright #QuiltSky I wrestled this onto my design wall with a sore arm. I plan to sleep overnight to think on it, before sewing rows in the morning. Does anyone see any big level wrong prints on the layout? I know the top near-left block is missing a small, in which I'm putting in a substitute.
Chandelier style quilt blocks on a design wall, beige background. Fabric colors and prints are autumn-color-themed, along with a teal with autumnal words such as: hay rides, apples, autumn pumpkins, Fall. Not relevant to the quilt design, quilted letter spelling LEARN along the top of the design wall (which is just a plastic sheet).

After the first day, did about half of the blocks. Finished the rest on second day, and excited to get it on the design wall.
Pieced squares with the little 2.5 square in the upper left and lower right and the big square in the middle on beige fabric. Stack of print fabric squares and beige rectangles.

Spent most of yesterday prepping for the start of quilt retreat today. I'm going to make an autumnal chandelier quilt.
An assortment of 10 autumn-themed fabrics, 5" squares, with some smaller 2.5" squares, same fabrics. There are stacks of beige rectangles, 2.5" x 5" & 2.5" x 7". A rotary cutter lays nearby. All on grey cutting mat background.

I finally got around to putting up my @abluskittle.bsky.social art. I accidentally pealed some of the matte off of the frame, so I patched it with some leafy scrap fabric and double sided tape, and I think it looks great even better.
An art print of a cat on a tortoise on a misty woodland path. The black frame has a scrap leafy fabric covering it in the lower right above the corner, and it is the same size of the frame, so it patches in well.

@jamesbbarrow.bsky.social art along from the previous week was "Expression of Hope". I tried my hand at sewing then painting another coloring page from @kbdraws92.bsky.social . Acrylics on cotton fabric and towel. #ArtSky #QuiltSky
2 pictures on yellow background with text: Sewn & painted by KeonaChick, Coloring Page by KBDraws92. The bigger picture depicts a painting of a bee on a pink rose. The painting is also sewn on a fabric of cream-colored roses. Some of the fabric has been pulled back and stitched down revealing the white towel underneath as well as the rose fabric with darker hues of beige and tan. The other picture shows the scrap hand towel. The hand towel says "trust your journey" and has a cartoon owl in a blue sweater with a string of letters that says "BE AWESOME" . The stitching from the other painting is visible and crosses over all over the towel.

Great time tonight. I smiled the whole time. Held back tears at first but definitely wept at the end. I loved seeing people dressed in Cosplay, dressed up for fanciness, and a bunch of cottagecore cozy farmers! #StardewConcert #StardewValley

If you see this, quote post your cat art 🐱
A picture of a ginger cat, and atop the picture is a blue pillow with a fabric representation of the ginger cat front body and face. A quilted fabric representation of a one-eyed ginger oriental shorthair cat (Auri is his name) on a pale blue background. His green eye looks right at you with an almost bemused expression. A fabric representation of a black & white nontuxedo cat with green eyes on purple background (Beezelbee's cat Ham).

Time flies! Here is what I've done after 8 days(?!). Just need to sew the blocks together! I also think I figured out which stash fabric for the binding too! #QuiltSky #PrairieGardenQuilt #kaffeFassett
20 vibrant floral fabric squares with on two adjacent sides of accent fabric with white background and smaller squares breaking up into 4s on diagonal corners. The 4 squares are 2 solid, 2 floral. Not relevant to the purpose but in the picture of this design wall: fabric letters spelling LEARN along the top, a scrappy fabric ginger cat face in the corner, a few turquoise fabric rectangles that say Hello and two sunflowers, and the earlier square of a bee on a flower.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.

Fabric auditions complete! I have the Kaffe Fassett print fabrics from guild, and accent fabrics from my stash. Excited to start this one as pool season ends soon. #QuiltSky #BeeSewInspired #PrairieGardenQuilt
Assortment of bright fabrics with tropical flowers (amaryllis and cactus flower)and leaves of a total color palette of greens, blues, purples, and pink. Accent fabric accompanying fabric: pink, orange, muted green, sunset purple, blended teal green, and blush coral. A quilt pattern nearby says Prairie Garden from Sew A Story.

I did this Kelli Fannin quilt block in about 3.5 hours. Art prompt due next week, "Orange Exuberance". I chose batik-adjacent fabric to give life and texture to the "paint" or action of painting, while the equipment and background "canvas" is solid/plain. Best fabric for bristles, wow. #QuiltSky.
A photo of a sewn fabric block depicting two brushes with paint crossing paths. The green brush with yellow paint on its bristles is traveling left to right. The blue brush with red paint on its bristles is traveling top to bottom. Where the paths intersect, it is orange. The paint colors and bristles are print fabric or show texture while the beige background and brush handles are plain solid fabric.

A @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social art along 2-week prompt recently was "Crimson Solitude" I used a Kelli Fannin free block pattern to make this poppy flower. The red was remnant of a FQ, the rest were scraps. #ArtSky #QuiltSky
Two photos on a light grey background with the words "Crimson Solitude" and "KeonaChick". The first photo shows fabric squares of red, black, green, and grey- only the black is solid, while the other fabrics are patterned with dots (white on the green, darker red on the red, and lighter grey on the grey). The second picture shows the fabric pieced/sewn into the shape of a 4-petal poppy flower bloom, the center black, with smaller triangles of grey accenting. The small green fabric shapes and rounds the petals.

Art along from @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social this past week's prompt was Awakening Spectacle. Used only fabric scraps. Photo reference from a friend.
Three pictures: a photo of a bee sleeping atop a pink flower, with a red spiky center, another picture of scraps of fabric, the largest picture is fabric representation of the bee photo: dark and light pink petals, green polka dot stem, bee with translucent wing, the background is green floral. The words/phrases: Sleepy Bee, KeonaChick, Awakening Spectacle, are in the lower left corner.

The art along with @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social for the past week was "Golden Vibrance". Here my submission: a lil plushie of my neighbor's ginger cat, Smitty, along with his clueless face. #ArtSky #SewSky
Pattern from @daftpatience.bsky.social
Four photos showing progress of a blocky cat plushie. The fabric is golden ginger herring bone print. The nose and mouth are rough hand embroidered. The eyes are yellow felt, with skinny black thread for pupils. The picture of the completed plushie has the cat on a purple swirl batik fabric flanked by thick ribbons of gold trim. A picture of a ginger cat is included as the model/muse, his expression wide-eyed and expresses empty-head ginger cat vibes.

The third Sunday of July is National Ice Cream Day. I made a quilt block from Kelli Fannin free pattern of an ice cream sundae. What a scrumptious delight! #quiltSky
three pictures showing progress of a quilt block depicting an ice cream sundae. First picture is the fabric selection, second picture is the squares and rectangles cut and put in arrangement, third picture is the completed block. The sundae fabrics consist of blue filligree fabric, green and white-dot scoop, light pink splotch scoop, milky coffee scoop, with sprinkles on white to represent whipped cream, and a dark spotted red triangle to represent a cherry. On pale blue background.

Another art along!? The prompt from @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social this week was "Glistening Glory". I used a quilting and painting technique inspired by one of my quilt guild members. With a coloring page from @kbdraws92.bsky.social , I tried my hand at painting, and learned a lot. #quiltsky #artsky
A before and after picture, on the left an outline of a lily and bud on beige fabric with green thread on the stems and leaves, orange thread on petals, and yellow thread on stamen tips. On the right, the quilted fabric is now painted on yellow background, the fabric has some ripples from wet paint absorption, there are droplets resembling dew (created using clear nail polish). A text box says "Sewn and painted by KeonaChick. Coloring Page by KBDraws92".
