TTMT #818 – Try, Error, Try (Quilty Show & Tell)

1 Reply

Today I share some crafty things I attempted while recovering from a sprained wrist. Spoiler, it didn’t go well!

Hexagon update! I mentioned in today’s TTMT video that I tried cutting hexies last week and got frustrated after a few tries. After trial and error, I changed my settings to medium cotton and more pressure. I also changed around the orientation of the hexagons which seem to cut better.

I created a new project from scratch in Cricut Design Space for less fabric waste.

It’s a short one today, my friends. I’m in the middle of a head cold and just wanted to check in and show you what I got up to last week.

Fandom paper pieced patterns can be found on Fandom in Stitches. Sting is a new pattern and hasn’t yet been edited to share. 

The other pattern is under Multi-Fandom quilt patterns. Search for “Indy” or “Holly.”

Hello, friends! I’m back at it this week with some progress on the bookcase quilt, including a quilty plan, new blocks, and some fun practice in Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1. I even took a little time to make something for myself. ♥

TTMT #813 – New Year, New Projects (Quilty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing my to-do wish list for 2025. This includes what I’m already working on and what I would like to tackle this year. The #ttmtbom is high on the list, as is my husband’s bookcase quilt (a little bit multi-fandom and a little history quilt!). I’ve got some new projects I’m hoping to work on and design skills I’d like to improve. I hope you come along for the journey!

I really want to work on improving my skills with Embrilliance Embroidery Software. I purchased Essentials when I bought my first embroidery machine and added Stitch Artist 1 a few years later. I am not sponsored; I just really enjoy the software!

Questions? Leave a comment and I’m happy to reply!

What are you working on this year? I would love to hear all about it.

FUNDRAISER for Miss P! There are a couple of baskets left and some new products donated by other quilters!

Happy end of year, my friends! As time slips into the future, I thought it would be fun to share a recap of what I worked on in 2024. I sometimes forget what I’ve done in a year. This is a good reminder to myself that I LOVE making things.

See you tomorrow for the January TTMT BOM! Happy New Year!
