Hi! Welcome to The Reprintery. We are new here to Bsky and plan to share our collab with you: We print on reclaimed garments, unfinished quilts and the occasional bed sheet and then cut them up and sew them back together! #textileart #reclaimedtextiles #textileprint #thereprintery
Happy Halloween to our creative friends! We dressed up at work today because we get to go to work together every day! Michelle is a Gingham Witch hoping to make all your gingham dreams come true, and Charlotte is just a creepy cat 😹
What did you come up with? Please share!

The quilt at Josephine’s is almost filled up! It’s been so neat meeting people and talking about our process and ideas and ways we can connect with each other. We really appreciate everyone coming out to support us ❤️

Any friends from Bluesky come out to visit us? Thanks if you did! We had a really fun time with everyone, brainstorming ideas about what to do with all these shirt parts. A gal from Canada got a full random set to remake a shirt!

We’ve been experimenting with hand stitching, and we made a quilt frame using a thrifted painting frame and leftover pieces from a quilted Vermie grid. We’re excited to explore this technique and our new DIY tool!

We’d love to hear your thoughts!

A new and delish selection of shirts wanting to be printed on! We are carving up some new plates too, and making up more appliqué designs, so each project gets pushed forward one step at a time. Hope you’re all having a great day💐🧵🪡 #thereprintery #sewing #sustainablequilting

We spent the day at www.pdxsewlarium.com practicing our Longarm skills! Zachariah was a great teacher and we aim to rent time on this machine so we can do all aspects of our quilt making 🥳🧵🪡

Lucky Black Cat Friday to you! Buddy was persistent in being present while we laid out these Sonne quilt blocks on the floor, determining the best layout. These are old batik strike-off samples

Almost finished a new Sonne quilt this weekend, and was delighted at each stage of the process. Combining patterns makes the world a more beautiful place, don’t you agree?

Sonne quilt first started as a quick rubber stamp idea for a gift of printed napkins (on left). It’s been refined and made into an appliqué quilt now, too! Isn’t it fun to see where an idea take us?
