Although I refuse to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, I am quilting for the season. Used some left over blocks from the quilt to make some coasters for stocking stuffers.
Pattern: Vintage Christmas by Temecula Quilt Co.

Official start to the Star Upon Stars quilt by Laundry Basket Quilts 🙌. This is the fabric pull for the first block. Each block is its own little mini quilt. I’ve pulled fabric combinations for the first 5. Trying to repeat some of the fabrics throughout for cohesiveness. #quiltersofbluesky

Practice block complete 🙌. Lost the points on a couple of stars but they’ll just get better as I keep making more blocks. #quiltersofbluesky #quilters #quilting

Practice block to work up to the full quilt Star Upon Stars by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. Will make this a Holiday wall hanging. Can’t believe how far my quilting has come in the 6 years I’ve been constantly quilting. Practice & amazing quilters that share their skills with others. #quilt

Practicing eight point stars so I can attempt the Star Upon Stars quilt. I’ve been working on these for nearly 2.5yrs. They always end up bubbled up in the middle. Finally got a nice flat block. Accurate cutting, heavily starched fabric, and sewing really slow seem to be helpin. #quiltersofbluesky

Ditched the border I had added. Just wasn’t doing it for me. Pattern Sundrops & Starflowers by Kim Diehl. Paper panto Drifting Clamshells from Urban Elemetz. Mostly fabrics from Quiet Grace collection by Kim Diehl. Some Laundry Basket Quilts sprinkled in here and there.

Little Fall decorating in my sewing room. I love to add little fat quarter bundles or bowls of scraps here and there. This vintage dresser houses my fat quarter stash. Anyone else like to decorate with fabric? #quilting #skyquilters #quilters #falldecor #blueskyquilters

Never too early to start some holiday quilts. A bit hard to get in the fall/winter spirit with higher temps in Southern California. Love this pattern and sad to have learned this shop is now closed. Sad that my LQS
in San Marcos closed too. Where have all the local quilt shops gone 🫣🧐😔.

Free motion challenge update. Week 2 and I’m practicing this Ogee filler. Love the movement it gives the space. Very forgiving too.

Free motion quilt panel challenge has begun! Hoping to lvl up my skills so I can tackle some quilt tops I’ve been waiting to quilt with a more “custom” quilting look. Love learning more skills.

Quilt top complete. I’ll get it loaded on the long arm in the coming weeks as I’m starting a free motion challenge on a quilt panel starting July 1st. Can’t wait to have this fully finished and off to my sweet niece.

Finished wall hanging hung up. This space brings me peace. Spent A LOT of time in here this weekend with all the craziness. Keep safe, love one another, and be kind always! You just never know what someone is enduring. Love is love and everyone deserves it. #quiltsky #blueskyquilt #quilts

My recent obsession…thinking I alone can plan a landscape design for our backyard. Very beginning stages. Im learning and researching. I do NOT make big decisions without exploring everything. Knowing my track record, we’ll be breaking ground in 5-7 yrs😆.

Threw caution to the wind and decided to just play in this section. Really fun but made my brain tired. Above some feather practice. Feathers are so challenging me for. I see a lot more feather practice in my future. Would love any tips or tricks ☺️

No pocket full of sunshine for this woman while Dumpty Trumpty is in office, but I DO have a cookie tin full of HSTs and four patches. Looking for sunshine anywhere I can find it.

One of the best quilt tips I ever learned was making bonus HSTs. Draw the initial line and then a line 1/2” from that. Stitch and cut 1/4” from the initial line. Viola! Bonus HST that would otherwise be waste or random scrap. What are so of your favorite quilt tips/tricks?

More free motion filler practice. Things I tell myself as I practice
1: BREATHE
2: I can stop my machine, it’s not a race
3: no one will notice that little bobble
4: This is art and shouldn’t be “perfect”

Craving some stitching this evening. Progress has been slow with all the color changes but slowly chipping away. Hope to have fully finished by Autumn.

Latest project on the design wall is quilt pattern Sundrops & Starflowers by Kim Diehl. Fabrics are a mix of Kim Diehl and Laundry Basket Quilts. Do I have other projects I should finish? Why yes, yes,I do. But why not start another one?

A bit rusty with free motion. Doing a bit of practice with some swirl filler.
