Trying to find a place to share some thoughts, ideas, and creations. Quilting, gardening, homemaking.
A quick Barbie quilt using some of the Kona Wisteria that came in my haul.

Clearing out the over grown grass from my pineapples bed. I love how they renew themselves by growing new out of the old.

Don’t usually starch my fabric but I used Best Press for this project and these HSTs are coming out like butter.

Stopping point for the day. I’m working on a Star Wars themed quilt. I got all but the white fabric ironed and cut into squares. Until next quilting session at home.

Stopping point for today is this Bleu Irish chain. I’ve trimmed and measured it. I’ve also cut and prepared the binding. Until Monday.

Another guild Sew Day project. Let’s hope in the end it does not look like disorder which has had heat applied to it. (A hot mess)

Loading my bleu Irish chain quilt and whoops! No white batting. Guess I’ll have to wait for some to be delivered tomorrow. Womp. Womp.

Finished the blue Irish chain quilt at my meeting today.

Just finished this binding using a template ruler. IMO it is more cumbersome and time consuming than just laying them perpendicular and sewing diagonally from intersection to intersection then trimming.

So I have these screaming cute fabrics and I’m in need of a killer twin size pattern that uses fat quarters. I’m dying to see what everyone’s stab at it is and go.

All eleven rows done. I have six blocks leftover. I think I’ll make a matching pillow. I’m at my stopping point for the day.

Got some quilty things today. Silicone cleaning brushes and tweezers for around my longarm, a corner trimmers to help with diagonal binding seams, and two spools of dissolving thread for practicing free motion quilting on a Halloween panel that has yet to arrive.

Evolution of a quilt design. Few steps omitted due to only allowing four photos.

Finally received my flower quilt backing and batting. I’ve got it loaded and started quilting it out. Loving it so far.

After three days away from quilting I’m back at it. Cut all the sashing and have completed two of five rows so far today.

I know nothing of threads or the industry. I’m just kinda learning “this stuff”.

Every 4 bobbins I take my machine apart and clean it out, change the needle, and give a drop of oil.
