Hello, friends! My HST top is now quilted! I left it on my Gracie King frame (currently set up for Queen size) to show you my quilting setup. I also chat about fabric at my local Michael’s and tease an upcoming project.
I used Pellon 100% cotton batting in my quilt purchased at Michael’s.
The video looks long, but I only talk until 7:34:21. The rest of the video shows one pass of quilting with the Q’Nique. My machine is not computerized and I love Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) so that’s what you get to see! It’s been a while since I quilted and I forgot to use my lint roller first which I am sure you’ll notice by my left hand regularly guest starring to pick lint off the top.
Hello, friends! I got on a roll with my final quilt blocks and ended up piecing the top over the weekend. I LOVE the way the sampler blocks work together and am hoping to have the back pieced some time this week.
This week I chat about finishing 4 more HSTs for my scrap quilt (almost there!), and upcycling a sheet and thrifted fabric (maybe a sari?) to make my version of the Jiffy Wrap Blouse.
Hello, friends! I’m back home from a quick trip to Alpine, Texas, one of my favorite places in the world to just exist. Today I’m chatting a little about my trip, but mostly about the epic bird-themed birthday extravaganza I received from my BFF, Jewells!
I also share about a Graybar sewing machine gifted to me my father-in-law. There’s a little here and there out there about the machine, but if you have personal experience with a Graybar R40, I’d love to know!
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! The lead in to today hasn’t been great, but I’m slowly getting back to myself and am about to go on a short trip to refill my cup.
This week finds me in recovery mode after a very rough week. I’m still not 100% but I am getting there. Unrelated to that, my arm is fine, the red mark is from the allergic reaction I mentioned in my last video. I have had a LONG last few weeks.
Hello, friends. No video from me today. I haven’t been feeling well and I am just not up for recording. I do have some show and tell that I will save for next week. I hope you’re all well!
This week I spill the beans about my allergic reaction and the project it inspired (skip to 2:47:03 if you’d rather not), share my next two HST blocks, alterations to a previously unworn made-by-me blouse, and making 20 cloth napkins from a thrifted cotton sheet!
From my allergy inspired project: Generation T by Megan Nicolay can be found used or you can use this link if you prefer a new one. I don’t receive anything if you use the link, just wanted to share!
