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.
If you enjoy my free content, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi. Your support is greatly appreciated.
The Project of Doom and many other bookcase quilt blocks are all on www.fandominstitches.com. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu. Sting is not a finished pattern and is not yet ready to share.

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. ♥
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!
This week I talk about finishing up a Freestanding Lace (FSL) Christmas tree, making fabric baskets for Miss P’s study abroad fundraiser, some fabulous mending, and a fun Urban Threads in the hoop coaster!
Fabric basket tutorial will be posted tomorrow, Wednesday, December 18, 2024!
UPDATE: All Southwest Sonoma Star fundraiser quilts have been sold! WOO!
This week I talk about saving the TARDIS (cushion!!), my new-to-me almost 70-year-old sewing machine, A Very Important Fundraiser, plus a sneak peek at an in-progress project!
This week, I share Southwest Sonoma Star, a quilt kit finish, two blocks from the #ttmtbom, talk about cleaning out my fabric dresser, and share an old project back in the sewing room for mending!
