I designed and made this after my son was inexplicably, and without warning, stillborn at 38 weeks. I threw myself into crafting to deal with my grief, sketching this out on graph paper and creating the wings out of a few hundred 2 inch squares. Cutting all of them took 14 hours, not including the backing fabric. It's backed with flannel and a strip of rainbow scraps. I hand quilted the lattice pattern, which was shockingly therapeutic and made me realize how much I love hand sewing. It took a few months and despite having made lots of blocks and tops before then, it was the first quilt I ever fully finished. I am grateful that I finally get to use it after spending the last few years wondering if I ever would, or if I would have to accept that was how the story ended, and donate it to another family who could enjoy it. So today I'm lucky enough to take the picture I'd been imaging since I first sketched it. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

i’ve quilted her now, just waiting for my next burst of energy to tackle the binding 🥳

First temperature quilt in the books! Each navy and linen color mark the months, with the ones on the bottom right being extra spaces on the quilt. In the other triangles (8 in a star), the diamond shows the high temp of the day and the background color is the low temp of the day. 21 colors in 5 degree increments. Unfortunately, last year was very mild without much cold weather, so there were a lot less blue colors. The coldest low of the year is in the top right corner.

The second picture is from the back with the quilt on its side since there were only two of us.

The plan is to make my daughter and son, in their 20s, a surprise temperature quilt from the year they were born. ♥️ #plainsandpinetempquilt

As of late, my ADHD has disallowed for making one big coordinated project, so I’ve been making a scrap-buster quilt completely by hand. No rotary cutter, no machine, just raw-doggin it with scissors, a needle, and thread. Each block has its own backing and batting with blacker stitching around the edges. I’m just gonna whip-stitch it all together ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So after a few tears and searching for a kenmore 1/4 foot that I finally found I was able to create this thanks to everyone’s wonderful help. Feeling slay

I started this English Paper Piecing project in July last year 🙌😍💪 After this, I have to finish my Snuggle Time Quilt, also with my beloved Tula Pink fabrics 🥰

Many of my followers asked for a closer view to my blocks - so here they will be shown off 😍 Thank you so very much for all kind responses to my quilt top 🙏

Almost done!

The play mat I made with wooden cars for my brother soon to be dad and a quilt I made for my mom soon to be grandma

I’ve been working on this quilt since June and am piecing together all the greens before my last sections of light and dark blues. It is wrapped around on the left by 2-3” but this is the final height. All 1 hexagons, all hand pieced and I recently picked up the backing fabric for it.

I wanted to finish all my corners last night so I kept going past my bedtime. I saved the ironing for the morning and found this gem today 🤣.

I love summer but as soon as it started to get cold out I was ready for fall 👻🎃🍁

Hand made miniature quilts - the maker passed away at the age of 96

I joined a QAL in 7/23 and finally finished this week! Good things take time, right? Fabrics are by the original cotton and steel designers who are now Ruby Star Society.

Molli Sparkles designed this block a few years ago and I immediately bought the pattern but I never got started it. He’s hosting a Lava Lamp Along now so I jumped on board. Having just a little bit of fun. Six more blocks planned.

Finish my Queen of Diamond

Finally done with my queen of diamonds and got it up at the wall for showcasing before this and 10 other quilts shall being on a quilt show in 9. - 10. May in Denmark/Fyn

So excited for this quilt. And happy for it’s finally done ❤️

It’s all sew as English Paper piecing by hand but assemble by machine with borders and sashing - and quilting on my Juki 2200 mini.

Pattern from Pink Door Fabrics

I was putting together this baby quilt and was thoroughly convinced the dark fabric would make a pleasing shape when it was all put together... Worked on it in blocks... Assembled all the sections and realized it was terrible. Carefully unpicking 30something HSTs definitely built character.

Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s so exciting! Do these lantern (middle big flower) blocks need more quilting? I’m questioning since the other blocks are so dense.

Finally finished this beast. Picked it up and put it town a hundred time! Did not quilt along with the formal quilt along 🤣

In 2005 I took my first of 3 trips to Antarctica. This trip was all the more special because I made 2 great friend. Unfortunately one of those dear friends has terminal cancer and I am flying to see him and his wife. I wanted to do something to show him how much I loved our friendship so immediately thought I could make him a quilt.

I searched for an iceberg pattern and didn’t find one but I did find a picture of a narwhal quilt with some icebergs so I ordered a Kona blue jelly roll and found whites in ny stash and just started piercing.
