It's Quilt Time

I decided to take up quilting to make a bunch of stuff for people for Christmas. I'm making a set of pillows and a twin sized quilt. Not pictured is the materials to make a set of quilted bags and pouches and quilted city play mat for the kids.

It's not like I don't already sew garments, crochet garments and accessories, make soap, and make soup/ cookie jars.

This set is a very pleasing colour pallet though.

Finished quilt top dimensions: 100×100 inches or 256×256 cm)

I finally sat down and finished my massive autumnal crow quilt. I cut the blocks out about three years ago and then got overwhelmed by the prospect of figuring out placement. Gotta love the ADHD panic.

This quilt spiraled out from finding an awesome crow panel and my love of the traditional poem about counting crows. The center most block has the poem machine embroidered, which required the fabric to be rehooped every 4 inches (10 cm).

The other block features a giant crow appliqué which was done with a freezer paper template that I made.

Anyway, I did decided to give it a do-over, and make it dramatic this time!

Black in the center to yellow on the outside. I’m curious to how it’ll look with the shades inverse.

It’s looking good so far!

I like the dark in the centre as much as I like the light there. Mike&Ike approves as well 💖

Of course, the plain black in the center is a little stark, but put a bit of gold quilting on it…

Had to put black cuddletex on the back which looks good with the yellow binding.

It’s definitely different from the other yellow Luminous, but I don’t know if I’d say better. I like them both 😭😂

1 quilt block down, 3 more to go for the current baby quilt

Cabin baby quilt is done!

This quilt is for the child of some of my friends who have invited me on many winter cabin trips! So I made it outdoor themed for their little explorer.

The tree blocks are machine pieced based on a block from Wise Craft Quilts by Blair Stocker. The stars and cabin are self drafted and English paper pieced. The bulk of the quilting is machine but I did do some big stitch accents for fun.

a course that's true

🪡 baby quilt progress (4/4 blocks done! 🙌)

had the pleasure to meet the tiny person i made this for today

Got the binding done on the blue squares quilt! Now back to quilting.

Started hand stitching the drip quilt :) it’s gonna take forever since this is 84” square, but as they say the time will pass anyways. Arya has been incredibly supportive with quality checks for both the quilt and my hoop as well

FINALLY!!!!! I still need to get the binding on but the hand quilting is DONE

this has officially gone to its new home which means i can post about it without ruining the surprise! baby's first quilt! it fought me a bit, and it definitely fought my 50 year old sears kenmore sewing machine until i bought a walking foot, but i'm sooo happy with how it turned out!!

it's based on the cats on cats pattern from birch fabrics, although i just drew out the pattern to suit the size i needed rather than actually using the pattern. i made it 50"x60" so although it's a baby blanket, it won't be outgrown!
