I collect hobbies. The main ones right now are quilting, chainmaille, weaving, and embroidery.

Follow for pet pictures and to see some crafty chaos. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m starting to realize most people don’t.

Saint Paul, MN
I’m taking a 3 day class on long arm quilting this week and it’s going so well! Since it’s my first time, we’re just doing edge to edge quilting, nothing custom yet. But I think I’ll stick with this and take more classes to get into the more advanced stuff someday.

Eldritch is being mighty cute today.

Me, watching The Gorge (a fairly forgettable but still fun romp of a sci-fi action thriller on Apple TV):
“I’m gonna have to look up the composer on this movie, sounds like a Reznor wannabe…”

I don’t know if I should be impressed with myself or ashamed for disrespecting the god of music…

Words cannot adequately express how much happiness a design wall brings me… but this picture is pretty close.

I’ve loved all the pockets of creativity I’ve found here. I gotta get better at sharing my stuff. This is the latest quilt in progress!

Week 10 of Administration Therapy.

I’m calling it “Little Bandit”.

This project continues to bring me so much joy in dark times. I’m still catching up on the journaling portion because that’s quite a bit less joyful, but important.

Enjoyed a lovely craft night with friends. Poppy was a perfect little angel… just kidding, she was a little goblin. And we loves her.

🎶Somebody’s watching me, it’s my anxiety… 🎶

I have an audience while I start the next quilt.

I finished another quilt!

So happy with how this one turned out and can’t wait to give it to @chelalyn89.bsky.social and @riffraffmn.bsky.social

I’m working hard to make sure people in my chosen family get a quilt from me, and it feels good to make progress on that goal.

He’s so helpful…

This will 100% be my favorite detail of this quilt… I used free-motion quilting to make the yarn ball look like a wound up yarn ball.

Lucifer approves of the cat quilt.

Week 9 of Administration Therapy! We’ll call it, “Puppy Love”.

This block is dedicated to my aunt, who inspired the project. Her poodle, Hershey, is so precious to her and I knew the large panel was a perfect opportunity to feature this fabric.

Week 8 of the Administration Therapy quilt project! (Forgot to post it last week)

I’ll call this one “Butterfly Effect” because I’m lazy.

These fabrics are from two quilts I made recently for some very dear friends. I love the diary aspect of this quilt.

Happy international quilting day!

I didn’t get pictures of us, but I spent the day with two dear friends, using the quilt room for crafting, and catching up. I feel so fortunate that I have my chosen family and get to bask in beautiful creative energy together.

Here’s a couple of voids for you.

Eldritch had to show me his teefs, so now I am showing you his teefs. Because that’s what the internet is for.

Also, upside down Eldritch says hello!

Our dogs visited the groomer this week and look mighty cute.

The poodle with the green bow tie is Hershey. The Australian Cattle dog in the rainbow bandana is Freya.

Freya visited the groomer today. She woke up a stinky-winky and will go to bed smelling like lemongrass. But no matter what, she is an absolute queen.

Next one up for quilting! I love these dreamy little cats.

Finished the matching pillow made using scraps from the quilt! Can’t wait to give it to my friend tomorrow!
February 28, 2025 at 12:45 AM
Finished this quilt the other day!

I’m going fabric shopping with the recipient on Friday so I can’t wait to surprise him with it. We’ve been friends for 20 years and have gone through so much together.

I hate wrapping things… so I rolled it up label side out and put a bow on it… 🤣

I fell behind with posting the blocks from my “Administration Therapy” project.
Week 5 “Stop Bugging Ladies”
Week 6 (still thinking of a name for it. Open to suggestions)

Up to 6/208. Hard to believe it’s already/only been a month and a half… what is time?

When a quilt produces a bunch of fun scraps, use them on the backing for some extra joy!

I finished assembling everything! Time to pin the quilt sandwich and get to quilting 💗

I reached a huge milestone on my Tula Pink Smitten quilt! I finished the last block this weekend and could finally lay it out to see what it will look like!

Now to sew all the blocks together…
