What I’m Up To These Days

It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Quilts, lately.

Finished the holiday quilt before the holiday! No mean feat this year, there just aren’t enough quilting/painting/reading hours in a day, sadly. I love how this turned out. A friend said “it looks like an old quilt” and that made me happy.

Another personal favorite. This one is now in my sister’s house so I get to visit it from time to time.

Current work in progress. I plan to have a quilt to display for every holiday and I wanted to use up some of my very precious, very hoarded Liberty fabric, so… two birds, one stone. I love it already and I don’t think I’ll rearrange it very much.

This is one of three memory quilts I made a few years ago for the wife, mother, and daughter of a lovely man who died of cancer much too young. I mixed in a few of his dress shirts and T-shirts with other fabrics to make this one for his mom. She recently passed away as well which I was very sad to hear.

A friend thrifted this quilt and asked if I could repair it. It was in pretty bad shape when I got it, most of the windows were no longer connected. After pondering it (for nearly a year!), in the end my solution was to use a decorative stitch to anchor everything back down. This might be the heaviest quilt I’ve ever worked on, it was a real workout! I have to admit I really hated to give it back.
