Blocks 29-32 of Kitty Sampler. I modified some because I wasn't in the mood for fiddly bits and wanted to use some of my larger prints.

That's a good guess! One is Gengar but the other is Tapu Koko(which I had never heard of) The last time I kept up with Pokemon there were only 151 of them ๐Ÿ˜น

The one I made recently was 45"x58" I think? It was a very simple pattern, Fabric Cafe's Sew Fast. They can vary but all mostly lap size. Fabric Cafe always lists the size on the front of the pattern so they're easy to browse through.

Two small plush capybara made from fleece. The one in front is black, yellow, orange, and white and has blue eyes while the rear one is black and purple with some red accents. They're both on a cluttered craft table on an open graph paper book with quilt doodles.

In this picture the purple capybara is in front so you can see the red accents on their cheeks and muzzle. The other one is not done yet and leaned over but you can see they have white markings on their muzzle. Also in the foreground is a small quilted rivet basket made of many colorful scraps.

My nephew loves capybaras and has been having a bit of a rough time lately with his health so I made him these capybaras from Choly Knight to cheer him up. They're meant to resemble some of his favorite Pokemon, can you guess who they are? #quiltsky

My kitty sampler blocks 25-28. I think I'm caught up now but I'm going to try to go faster because I found out I may have a houseguest for several weeks in the fall and we love to quilt together, so if I can finish this we can focus on new projects #quiltsky

A black fleece chibi mothman plush with fleece wings and felt antennae. They have purple eyes and a little smile, and the markings on the wings are done in black&grey variegated thread. Behind them is a floral and white lamb in similar style. They are sitting on a wood mantle with limestone behind them.

I had to go to the dentist yesterday so instead of quilting last night I made this on my embroidery machine. Design by Off With Their Threads. I need at least ten more now ๐Ÿ˜ป this weekend I hope to get our charity quilts bound and finished! They're all tied and ready

A quick scroll through #quiltsky and only like 10% of photos have alt text. Pretty disappointing ๐Ÿ˜’

I sew a little something random and easy(for me) like a zipper pouch and tidy up my sewing room. It always makes me remember how much I like it in there ๐Ÿ˜ธ

A quilt top being held up high so only the person's shins and hands are visible. The quilt has a basketweave kind of pattern in bright green and blue with neon paint splatter borders.

I'm unreasonably excited because the spouse and I finished matching quilt tops for the donation drive at my quilt guild. It's his first time sewing so there was a lot of learning, adapting, and seam ripping involved. Hopefully some kiddos like bright neon colors as much as I do ๐Ÿ˜น

A quilt block that looks a bit like steps. There are about 20 individual pieces in three fabrics. One pink, one navy blue, and one off-white with kitties dressed as cowboys.

Two kitties on a cat tree in front of a window mostly covered by navy colored curtains. The kitty on the left is looking at the camera and is a grey colored Sphynx with aqua eyes. The kitty on the right is curled up snoozing and is a cream colored Cornish Rex.

I really wanted to catch up on my Kitty Sampler quilt blocks today but my body said, "no thanks" ๐Ÿ˜’ hopefully some rest and binging Kingdoms and Castles today will avoid a full-on flare. At least I have the best snuggle buddies ๐Ÿ˜ป

A selection of 8 kitchen towels, some black and some white. All are machine embroidered, mostly with cats but one has a geometric design skull. The cats vary from kitties in teacups to a kitty being abducted by a UFO. Also in the photo are a variety of sewing supplies and embroidery stabilizer.

I have been completely fixated on making these kitchen towels lately. Most will be gifts but I might have to keep a couple ๐Ÿค”
Most designs from Urban Threads/Embroidery Library but if you want to know a specific one I will try to reply if I tear myself away from the embroidery machine...

Maybe if you can find a local quilt shop you can borrow/rent a machine? Someone there might even have a spare bobbin for you. I'm guessing it doesn't take "regular" bobbins? Or maybe it's time to take up EPP ๐Ÿ˜น

I'm very appreciative of them! I have a couple of the 3 Yard Quilt books but this one seemed perfect for a quick first quilt. It's coming together really fast even while teaching someone who's never sewn before.

I'm teaching the spouse to sew/quilt. We're making quilts for Project Linus for his first project and I'm trying to contain my excitement so he doesn't feel pressured to sew with me but I'm having such a good time ๐Ÿ˜น

I cut up all the scraps from my FPP project and tried my hand at confetti crumb quilting. I made a pocket between tulle and fusible interfacing with foam underneath, then filled it with the fabric bits and quilted all over it. I used leftover Olyfun and rivets to make a tray to hold clips #quiltsky

I did some quilting which is always nice but also I saw a birb. I was hoping it was an indigo bunting because I've only ever seen one once but a bluebird is not a bad consolation prize. Sorry the pic isn't better, it's just 5X zoom on my phone ๐Ÿ˜ธ

The little felt skull I machine embroidered is now a patch! I used heat&bond Ultra for the adhesive and a patch of denim on the inside and finished with some sashiko thread for funsies. Sewing inside of denim pockets is no joke!
