Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 15d I've got some issues with my website right now and I'm frustrated because I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to technology. 😭



Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 18d Quilting with cats. Patch found the extra batting after I sandwiched the large art quilt. Thankfully these leftovers are only for placemats for my own family. 🤣 #cats #quiltsky


Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 19d Basting my latest art quilt. Because it's so large, I'll also pin baste but I need more pins. #quiltsky

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 20d I FINISHED THE QUILT TOP!!! I'm still deciding on a name but have a few choices. I'm hoping to put the choices up for a vote next week after this is quilted. #artquilt #quiltsky

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 21d View through the covered bridge in Contoocook, NH.


Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 28d Day 2 of Canadian wildfire haze here in New Hampshire.

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· 29d I cleaned up my fabric strips (just to get this pic but still...). 😂 Anyway, 2 more blocks done. Only 3 to go! The end is in sight. #quiltsky #artquilt



Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jul 11 When I'm working on an improv art quilt, THIS is what my cutting table looks like. For my more designed pieces (sunsets, flowers, etc), I will arrange my fabric choices into rows and lay them out on the table in the order I want them in the finished quilt.

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jul 10 Not 100% but improving so I'm back in the studio after a weeks long RA flare. I'm also back in the classroom tomorrow, teaching a beginning class with an advanced class in the works for later this month! Just 6 more blocks to finish this large art quilt WIP. #quiltsky #artquilt

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jul 10 The jokes write themselves. My BA is in Women's Studies, I am very familiar with the Suffrage movement. The US Dept. of Education wants you to know that American History is worth learning... They used a picture of British Suffragettes. *Sigh* I just can't with these people anymore...

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jul 9 I'm back to work! I'm teaching a class this Saturday AND... I'm offering my first Advanced class, working on the diagonal, at the end of the month! Yippee! #quiltsky #artquilt

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jul 6 My feline nurse is caring for me. My rheumatologist appointment went well. I got a med adjustment, and steroids as a bridge. Today, I'm just recovering from the long weekend and I will be back in the sewing studio tomorrow, even if I'm working slowly. #cat #quiltsky #RAwarrior

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jul 1 I was back in the studio today despite my joints complaining. I have deadlines! This Girl Boss is not going to let rheumatoid arthritis hold her back. I do see my rheumy this week though so I'm hoping we can do a med adjustment to get me back at the top of my game. #quiltsky #artquilt

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 28 My husband helped put out the sign and mulch the new plants. I'm hoping to open soon! It's more of a gallery than a shop but I will be available to take commissions and special requests. It's not much, and it may not do much, but it's all mine. #quiltsky #artquilt

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 25 I put out a call on my other social medias asking if people would be willing to share inspirational pics they'd taken and would let me use them for future art quilts. My RA flare is preventing me working but I can prep for when I'm able to work again. My followers delivered some beauties! #quiltsky

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 22 My hands hurt. My knees hurt. Everything I touch, I drop. I can't stay awake.I miss sewing and quilting. I'm going to need steroids to get through this flare. Anyway, here's one of my kitties for tax. She loves the hamper. I hope I'll be back soon. #RAsucks #rheumatoidarthritis #cat #quiltsky

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 19 When I babysit my grandkitty... I break out the catnip. 😂

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 16 Today was the last day of school so now I can rest my body and, hopefully, get back to the studio soon. #quiltsky

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 15 End of the year goodie bags for teachers and support staff are all ready for the last day of school!

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 12 We had a good sit n sew! My friend helped me with making journal pen holders and I helped her with the placemat she started in my class. ❤️ Happy Quilting!

Sew Pretty Arts@sewprettyarts· Jun 12 All set for a sit n sew with a friend today! I'm working on teacher gifts.
