Today I was reminded of this quilt I made a while ago for an exhibition of our guild #dcmqg about "patriotism". It reads "Ich bin froh, nicht stolz, Deutsche zu sein" (I am glad, not proud, to be German). Things I didn't do anything for but that benefit me are a privilege not a source of pride.

Thank you! It's simple but effective. The only downside is that you need to use bias binding to get a nice cornder. The first time, I tried this on an even smaller project: hot pads

Here's a little video showing each of them more closely. This size is perfect to practice free motion quilting 😉

I love the texture of these #placemats when they get hit by the low winter sun!

This project started in a "scrap play" workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood last January. We sewed "scrap jelly rolls", which I then sandwiched between larger, sandy-colored scraps to let the colors pop.

Ah you think so? It's one of my (many ;)) favorites, especially when combined with blue or teal! I'm curious why you find it tricky.

Second, a quilt I started quilting but have a shied away from recently because I'm unsure of the quilting plan and it's very heavy (thanks to a heavy repurposed linen sheet for backing). The quilt started in a workshop with the late Sarah Bond at Quiltcon 2020.

I want to give this a try. Hopefully we can create the same kind of supportive & inspiring community that we have on IG but without supporting spineless billionaires. Here's a collection of my work to kick things off!
