The Chaos and Calm quilt is getting closer and closer to completion. This is my modern potholder quilt made using blocks created by members of @quiltsunscriptedbee . #quiltsky #quiltsunscriptedbee

they were yummy! thanks for a great class.

Thanks!

This portion of my Chaos and Calm quilt had me scratching my head for a bit, but I think it came together nicely. The blocks were made by some Quilts Unscripted beemates (Sarah Goer, Sarah Ruiz, Charles Cameron, Emily Lang, and Ellyn Zinsmeister). I am making a modern "potholder quilt".

Same! Bring on the weird / different / unique / amazing!

I always machine stitch 1/8" from edge before I start to prevent fraying & popped seams. I exclusively spray baste because I hate pinning. Sarah Fielke is a great person to follow to get started, but you have to practice a lot and do what works best for you. I do it "wrong" 🤣 but it works for me.

Thanks! It is one of my go-to techniques. I love the contrast, too!

It is made by The Thimble Lady from Australia. It is a sit-upon hoop that has a little part that goes between your legs as you stitch. I love, love, love it! I love it so much that I bought a backup one in case I ever manage to lose or break it. Pricey, but worth it! www.etsy.com/listing/1412...

Thanks!

Beautiful!

Me, too! I also read a lot of audiobooks since I picked up this hand quilting habit as well :)

I don't tend to wash show quilts, so I like to use methods that don't require water to remove. My other favorite method is Hancy Ultimate Pounce powder with their Full Line Stencils. It comes off just by ironing it. Really cool product.

There is a learning curve, but I find it totally relaxing.

Thanks!

Various ways depending on the quilt. For this one I used Frixion heat disappearing pens, which I know are controversial but I've personally never had an issue with them and I like their versatility.

I love big stitch hand quilting, how about you? #quiltsky

I hear you. It isn't for everyone. I had the same hesitations, but it turned out that I loved hand quilting. Now the creation of the top and the quilting are two distinctly different things to me. The tops usually "marinate" for a long time before they make it to the top of the "to be quilted" pile.

This is exactly why I started hand quilting. I didn't want to pay to send them out, but machine quilting on anything other than a completely utilitarian quilt stressed me out. Hand quilting takes forever but I genuinely love doing it, so that is what I do now.

Two people frown at a phone. One says to the other, “Bluesky seems to be the app where you post about being on Bluesky.”

Are we doing it right? #NewYorkerCartoons

Thank you. It was fun to make!

I love canning. Thanks for sharing this book - I will check it out!

Yes, it is! I'm in the process of actually writing it as a commercial pattern now. It is slow going because I have had so many other things going on, but hoping to have it ready for release by the spring. Thanks for freaking loving it 😘

Thanks!

I just learned about Bluesky while I was at the Sew Brimfield retreat this weekend. A bunch of quilty folks are joining here and using the #quiltsky tag to find each other. FOMO won.
Here's my quilt, Unplugged, that I submitted for consideration to hang in the fabric challenge category at QuiltCon.
