Thank goodness that it’s almost Friday! Can’t wait for the weekend and having more time to look at amazing quilt creations like this one here!! #quiltsofinstagram #Repost @baumannquilts ・・・ My first quilt for 2018, which I call “Birds in Flight” (because I name everything. Made using #riflepapercofabric #lesfleursfabric from forever ago. . . . #quilting #quiltsofinstagram #finallyfinished #machinequilting

A quilt in the making! I had so much fun picking out the fabrics, though it wasn’t easy! Want to scream since I cut all the strips too short. I am going for a 9 block pattern my mother made 20 or so years ago. She is 88 and working on another! I think I need to cut the strips again and will have plenty of extra fabric for a creative and wonky back. 

Onto quilting! I'm machine quilting this baby on the @textilesatlillstreet #juki industrial machine which involves a lot of smooshing the quilt under the machine over and over and over. It's a little sweaty and a bit like wrestling but I'm loving how it's coming out! #quilting #quilt #wip #process #machinequilting #gianthexies (at Lillstreet Art Center)

Yep, gone a little overboard on the hand sewing 😂. Knowing when to stop ✋ is key! I've loved enhancing this crazy #crumbblocks #portholes from my workshop with @afullenglish with all different threads, embroidery floss, linen and random old spools that have been lurking in my thread drawer, even metallic (which I managed to do with my sewing machine 😳, never managed that before !!!!!) This is destined to be a #cushioncover for my sofa, feeling like it needs a jolly up with some colour!! #miniquilt #quilt #quilting #sewing #sewingkeepsmesane #selfcompassionatesewing #scrapbusting #noscrapleftbehind #handsewn #handsewing #embroidery #handembroidery #machinequilting #quiltersofinstagram #colour #colourpop #modernquilt

Mostly this week I have been fiddling around pottering, and not being terribly focused! But having thought about it I have done quite a few bits and bobs. I made a #bubblepod to keep headphone and charger cables in (in headphones material 😁of course) did some tiny quilting on a piece of printed cloth by @inkymole that a Easter egg came wrapped up in, some #crumbblocks (to use up some scraps), and made some strips into striped fabric. So looking back I have done quite a bit, just not all focused on one thing😂. #quiltersofinstagram #quilt #quilting #machinequilting #domesticmachinequilting #stripefabric #epp #englishpaperpiecing #pottering #makersgonnamake #makeeveryday #sewing #imadethis #ilovetosew #ilovetoquilt #sew❤️ #busyignoringwashingup https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo30_KDHwza/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zw13evrw9vjt

Done some #fmq on this #orangepeelblock #wip and now I've realised I have almost run out of thread! And there is NO label on the cotton reel 😂 might be coats brand? It's gonna be fun trying to find a replacement ha ha! #foundationpiecing #quilter #quilting #quilt #machinequilting #patchwork #makersgonnamake #becreative #mummaker #quiltersofinstagram #selfcompassionatesewing

Been practicing my feathers, @trudi_wood said draw from your elbow and shoulder NOT wrist. That way the muscle remembers the pattern when you #fmq it. I love a sharpie!!!!! #busyignoringwashingup #fmquilting #machinequilting #patchwork #quilt #quiltingfeathers #quilting #feathers

Quilting perfection! Love this design! #quiltsofinstagram #Repost @newharmonyquilting ・・・ Pretty excited about all the fun things I can do with my machine now. #machinequilting #quiltsofinstagram #quilt #feathersandswirls #smallbusinessowner #newharmony
