TTMT #793 – Thrifted Top Finish! (Quilty Show & Tell)

In this week’s show & tell, I’m delighted to share my finished thrifted quilt! I found the quilt top at Austin Creative Reuse a few weeks ago. The quilting is free motion and was a wild ride due to the hand piecing. I also share a couple of small finishes. Links below!

Hat Pattern-ish!
The crochet hat is made with an H or I hook. For the adult hat I show here, chain ~38 (or as many as you need to reach nose to crown), turn, sc across, turn, ch 1, sc across in back loops only. Repeat until you reach the width you want, then turn, ch 1, slst in the back loops to close, gather the top, tie off, top with a pom pom if you like and you’re done!

TTMT #792 – Of Magic Cats & Gaming Turtles

In between a lot of really un-fun adulting, I’ve been trying to squeeze in some happy projects. First up is a Halloween Quilt finish that I’ve now passed on to my quilt-loving eldest kiddo. I also completed a really fun gift for a good friend’s birthday.

(The sound in this video is a bit weird and I apologize for that. I was trying a new microphone setup and though my couple of tests sounded fine, this did NOT. I’d already given the quilt away when I realized and as I’m no voice-over expert, I decided to do my best to edit the audio and will go back to my regular set up next week.)

TTMT #785 – Birds, Blocks, & Daleks

This was one of those weird weeks that felt a month long but also felt like I didn’t do anything while simultaneously doing All The Things. I worked on some machine embroidery, hit my favorite thrift store, Austin Creative Reuse, upcycled a tote bag, and brought home an old favorite project for some much-needed TLC. This little bit of chaos is the result. Stick around to the end for some bird feeder footage!

TTMT #784 – Reorganizing for a NEW Embroidery Machine!

Today I’m SO EXCITED to share my clean and reorganized sewing room featuring my newly upgraded embroidery machine!

I spent last week reorganizing my room for my new Brother PR1X single-needle free-arm embroidery machine purchased from Austin Sewing Machines. They made me a great bundle deal with everything I wanted for lower prices than I saw online. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this upgrade!

Not sponsored, I paid for everything myself, I’m just VERY EXCITED about my new machine!
