It's Quilt Time

spring 2026

Started stitching the Milky Way in. Slowly making progress on it as I am hiding the travelling thread so the back will look nice.

Progress on the constellation quilt has come along quite a lot now. Finished the binding on the quilt over the weekend. I prefer to machine stitch the binding to the front then hand stitch the back side. It gives such a nice finish to the quilt. Took the time to measure it also and it ended up being 72" by 72" (183cm by 183cm).

Behold the stars of the constellations of the northern sky! I love how this quilt has turned out. It was a lot of fun to work on and the effect is so cool in person. Overall I would estimate it took about 90-100 hours to complete. Give or take 10 hours if you want to count the time I spent custom dying the fabric.

I made sure to get a nice photo of it in daylight. For once I also remembered to get a quilt label on it. The back really shows the difference in readability of the quilting on the ice dyed fabric compared to the solid front. Thank you everyone that has followed this. I am glad you all found joy in it.

how it’s going:

A quilt for my little one due in July

My 93-year-old Oba-chan showed me the bedspread she’s worked on for three years that she recently finished!

Northwest Star Quilt for my dad

The April installment of my Block of the Month quilt. These “Arches” blocks were my first time doing appliqué. The pattern gave instructions for both hand and machine appliqué, but because the sampler quilt won’t have a lot of appliqué overall and because it’s just two blocks, I went with hand appliqué. I don’t know that it’s my favorite technique ever, but I am pleased with my result. For the fabric selection I kept to my scrappy look and tried my best to find “in between” colors for the overlapping parts to give the illusion of transparency. I think I did a pretty good job for sticking to the scraps I had, especially with the ones adjacent to the yellow spider web fabric.

I made a grimoire to hold my tiny e-reader and MP3 player (an XTEINK X4 with Crosspoint flashed to it and a Sony NW-A55 Walkman respectively)

Note: the ereader attaches magnetically, it's not just gently balanced atop

finished my houses quilt for my brand new nephew!
