A colorful mini quilt featuring a stylized iron made from various patterned fabrics, including blue floral and pink polka dots with small flowers. The background is quilted in floral-swirls on a purple fabric, and the border is edged with a cream lace binding. In the top left corner, a beige patch with stitched letters reads "PRESS ON." The artwork uses free motion sewing to create sketch-like outlines and detailing, giving it a whimsical and textured look.

Mini quilt for a scrappy swap. Interesting how both times I got involved in a mini quilt swap I ended up moving the following month!! If you'd like to stitch up your own iron block, the pattern is "Irony" by Everyday Stitches.
Remember to keep Pressing On!!

A colorful quilted fabric bookmark resting on an open book. The bookmark features a patchwork of vibrant fabrics in shades of purple, blue, and pink, stitched together with decorative free-motion quilting. A small fabric label on near the top reads 'EMPOWER' in hand-stamped lettering. A red loop peeks out from one end, adding a finishing touch.

As I worked on these, I decided to push myself to create more bright, hopeful art in the crazy years aheadβ€”and to seek out more hopeful friends.

Once I had all the scraps pieced together, I took them to Beast (my sewing machine) and started stitching. It was catharticβ€”I let go of perfectionism and just sewed freely. It took a couple of days, but it was a much-needed distraction.

Sixteen vibrant fabric rectangles in shades of yellow, purple, blue, and red are carefully arranged and basted onto quilt batting. The fabrics feature a mix of bold florals, geometric patterns, and intricate designs, creating a lively patchwork full of texture and contrast.

The week of Nov 5th was overwhelming. I couldn’t bring myself to sit glued to the screen, watching the numbers roll in. Instead, I dug out a bundle of Anna Maria Horner scraps and started piecing them together. I called it "breaking out the bright colors to battle the stresses" it really helped.
