Bias tape is fused! (Ironed on) Now it’s time to sew it down (machine stitched with a twin needle)! #quiltsky

In Chinese calligraphy, there's a beautiful progression from 'kaishu' (formal script with controlled strokes) to 'xingshu' (running script where lines flow more freely while maintaining recognizable forms). In this quilt, I'm experimenting with a xingshu approach to bias tape outlines. #quiltsky

Swatching my next quilt. Which colorway do you like best?
.
I’m working through Zak Foster’s book, The World Needs Your Next Quilt, and rising to the challenge of incorporating non-traditional fabrics in quilting. The teal palette would include a green WOOL, and the coral pink palette uses VELVET!

Cozy up with some kitschy quilty crime! ✂️🚢 I'll be handing out my little quilting murder mystery zine 'Sharp Snips at Sea' to anyone I run into at #QuiltCon! Ask for one if you see me! Extras will go up on my website after.

I made all my #quiltcon quilts available for purchase at the show this year. It’s hard to part with quilts you love, but much easier when you know they’ll go to someone who loves quilts. #quiltsky
