Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Closed my fitness rings today and my unbroken streak continues.
2. I am so inspired to try a new quilting method I have in my head and with any luck, I can get some solid fabrics ordered soon as well as batting. Learned about a binding technique that will so work for me.
3. Finished the 11th book in the Elm Creek Quilts series. Only 12 more to go!
Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. #GoodNight #Quilting #AudioBooks #Fitness
Borders added! There’s a few buildings that need a touch more fabric paint, but luckily I haven’t rinsed the dye I made up yet
When quilted, this one will be called Suffragist City, a name that has utterly delighted me the whole time I worked on it
(just an aside - I know as a U.S. women’s suffrage-themed quilt this technically should have been purple and yellow, but that color combo is nails on a chalkboard for me, so and
it is)
Now I got into a bin with Precious Treasures. Antique patchwork, my old quilt project pieces, handwork I don’t want to toss out. But whenever will I find time to make anything to gift from them? Ah me, maybe a granddaughter will inherit a box or too and then be torn about keep vs. save. Look how nicely I used to hand quilt. I can’t bear to throw that block away. Note the yardage next to it marked to have a much larger quilted wreath. Sigh

Had a little time to work on alt text, so here is another quilt post:

Spent today quilting the white rose pillow and it went really wrong. The quilting bunched up weirdly, probably because I was using a poly fabric for the batting
But even worse the black thread I used left dye marks! Thread! I’ve never had bleeding from thread before
I’m still hoping I can remove all the stitches and maybe wash or bleach the dye out carefully. I really want to save this piece
I have picked the first combo and the first pattern.
Decided not to overthink it. These are stunning fabrics that will look good in any combination.
Fabric has been cut to the required dimensions. Hoping to spend my evening stitching the pieces together.

Late night crafting. What you do on a friday evening: cutting fabric, basting your hexies, maybe place a few stitches? It's for (another
- hello, #ADHD) new project. I want to make a classic grandma's flowergarden Quilt for me to sleep under when it's cold and I try to use mostly upcycled fabric for this project.
(So - if you have old clothes or cloth made from woven cotton/viscose with a nice floral pattern that you don't want anymore - I'm your person!)
This cloth I'm using here is from a beloved jumpsuit from my kid, which is too small now. Other flowers I made from a beautiful indian top I never wore. The blue center is made of linnen cut offs from my first byzantine garb I made for my #LivingHistory hobby nearly 10 years ago.

Fabric mail!
After the fun I had making my first quilt I knew I wanted to do more.
Going to start with some placemats, as they are always useful. And thinking I might even hand stitch them completely.
Now the hard part, figuring out the colour combinations.
This sweet little fan, made using velvet, is ready to add to my mini quilt.
Well... I suppose I'm done cutting fabric for tonight. My cheeky baby boy Finn has claimed the triceratops fabric.
Finished the hand embroidery — for a person who doesn’t do a lot of hand embroidery, I’m okay with it
Not sure whether/how I’m going to quilt this. I kind of want it to be more squishy when finished, with that karate chop decorator look to the pillow. Quilting gives it too much body, but maybe I can find a softer batting than I normally use
I went to the national quilt-in in DC today. Just a little sprinkle of rain but otherwise great weather. It was wonderful to meet other women who care about what’s happening with our government at the moment, and do some sewing.
New truck-lover designs just dropped at Hoffman Fabrics. https://hoffmancaliforniafabrics.net/php/catalog/fabricshop.php?a=sc&Category=1326
First side border is painted. Despite using the tiniest paintbrushes I could find I’m still getting a bit of bleed. This paint kit comes with white, though, so I may try to use it as white out
Otherwise pleased. I think it’s going to enhance the votes for women quilt nicely
I sewed something! I've been using this as a reward to myself for spending time organizing my sewing space. The fabric is Shweshwe fabric scraps I was given. The bag is just a simple zippered pouch. I quilted the outer layer to help the pouch stand, using batting scraps. Basically a free bag!

The log cabin quilt swatches. It’s a matter of taste, but I am not loving the pink and white combo. The cream/white looks better to me. Happy to take other views on board. The scissors are for scale because think it’s harder sometimes with just a ruler to see how small this is. I did of course make a mistake in the piecing of the cream one but if you don’t tell I won’t mention it!!! The finished patches are tacked in the seam allowance, so larger than the actual size. #MiniQuilt #No52 #quilting #HandSewing
