Ret Air Force, quilter, hopeful gardener, ruled by a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, 💙🌊🇺🇲, it's silly to have to say this: no porn,dates, or DMs, unless I know you. No bio, no avatar, no posts, no follow. Midterms are coming. Let's get busy.📎
Here's another wall hanging top that I recently finished. The pattern is called Mod Boxes by Robyn Pickens. I coincidentally had the fabrics used on the pattern. I showed my friend, and her response was "oh." I'm starting to question my quilt choices. Hubby didn't really like my last quilt.🤔
#Quiltsky Here's my latest quilt. It's a free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop called A Gerden for Hannah. It's huge, 89 x 89. I'll quilt an all-over swirl design.
I'm thinking quilting while I'm piecing, and then everything goes haywire when it's under the needle. Do you have a dedicated sewing room? Bungee and wood clamps from the ceiling will decrease the weight. Not a brag. It works like a charm. You can start with 2 if possible.
#Quiltsky Here's my finished Welcome Spring panel. The background quilting is my feeble attempt at Karlee Porter's graffiti quilting. I'm pleased that the dragonflies turned out so well. I printed them and traced them onto golden threads quilting paper.
After a long snowy winter, this is the damage from what I believe to be mice and voles. These are my Arctic willow shrubs. The back has been gnawed off from the entire row. They were completely encased in snow. Any suggestions to prevent this from happening next winter? I'm not sure they'll recover.
#quiltsky This is the latest panel from Angela Walters. I started quilting it today, and it was the first time all week that I didn't worry how the WH rapist was destroying the country. The panel is called Hello Spring.
@southerncharmquilt.bsky.social Here are my hanging quilt clamps at work. They really keep the drag off the table. My neck and shoulders no longer hurt.
Hearing the machine fire up is the same as ringing the dinner bell. They suddenly become needy and require immediate attention. 🤣🤣🤣 No matter which station I'm using, the bed must be moved as close as possible. If it's a small quilt, the bed fits nicely on the table. He's my little cat dog.
#Quiltsky For those of you considering the Barn Star Sampler quilt, it's not for the faint of heart. I have 2 more 24" blocks left. It's bigger than my design wall. The way it's pieced, you end up with a million HSTs. It's been a year and a half in the piecing. Ugh.
Aww, thanks for the mention. Me, I rage quilt while waiting for the WH rapist to die. It's all I've got.
#Quiltsky My nephew's baby quilt is finished. I'll add the label tomorrow.
#Quilksky Hello, quilty friends, I need a pep talk. I'm making a baby quilt. It has cuddle on the back and there's another 4.5" border after the blue. I'm doing lots of outlining and detail work. In the blue border, I'm doing medium sized oval swirls to match the fabric. Hubby, darling that he is
Here's half the snow off the rooftop. The squirrels are nose level with the bird feeder. I guess it will have to be taken in. Don't feel bad. They're well fed in the backyard.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is a mushroom I found. The ooze and offensive smell attracts insects. It just seems fitting.
Things on a time limit add stress to my brain. I did the Aloha 50 mystery quilt, and it was a weekly process that you really needed to keep up with. I managed to get it done on time and quilted a couple of weeks later. I found it stressful, but that's just me. Moda promotes them in many quilt shops.
#Quiltsky This simple quilt was quickly pieced. The quilting is atrocious. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the tension perfect. I was too far in to rip out. Sometimes, you just have to keep going and live with results. I'm disappointed, but there will be a redemption quilt.
@shortcakesrevenge.bsky.social Here's the casserole dish holder hubby made. It's made of maple and cherry.
This is the panel. I'll add borders and outline quilting to make it cuddly. The backing will be cuddle, sort of velour like. And I want the batting a little puffy. I'm jealous of you. You have many interests. I'm positively boring. I play with plants in the summer.🫠
Good morning, everyone. I prefer your setting to mine. It's a nippy 8°. Reminds, I need a refill...☕️
Westminster Kennel Club has presented the decomposing imbecile with the trophy for the decomposing imbecile's obedience to Putin.
"I need more toys." He has another pile upstairs and out in the quilt studio. And yet, he thinks he's not spoiled enough.🤣
Fergus sleeps on Jack well because I move too much. Old habits die hard.🤣 Sounds like class is awesome. You enjoy it and are doing well. That's all you can ask for. We have a cottontail that's shown up the last few months. He came up to the window, so Jack went out to feed. Now, he has us trained.
Glad to be helpful. This is our feeding system. It's really high to keep the bear off. It also works for the squirrels and raccoons.
You speak to him? EEEWWW. He has to learn for himself. He voted for this. The decomposing imbecile told us. Stupidity is not an excuse. Thank goodness my only close neighbors are the forest creatures.
This is what you need, if you have dedicated space. Lift that drag somehow. It'll save your neck and shoulders.
Did you see the black red gray and white quilt? She did a gorgeous mystery last year, and people complained. So, this year, she did a round a month. Apr-Sept. I struggled with parts of it. You must have a perfect 1/4".
