Hey, I’m Amanda

Correction: this is April and May! June is pulled though!

Before starting the Kona Cotton Block of the Month club quilt I’d have told you my least favorite part of quilting was binding. Now it’s definitely trimming half square triangles. But may and June look so good!

Finally finished another quilt! This was the last of the Glencastle Irish Dance shirts I was either donated or pilfered from the free bin at the studio. Will I continue collecting shirts? You bet. Do I adore this quilt? 100% #quiltsky #quilting #finishedquilt #quiltlove #tshirtquilt

I am gonna need every single MLB announcer to learn how to say Asian names properly. Especially South Korean names. They seem to have no problem with Shohei Ohtani, but Kim Hye Seong? His name is not difficult. Please learn how to say it correctly. Respect the man.
Sincerely, a fed up Brewers fan.

Oh I have no intention of waiting the whole year 😂😂😂 I’m way too impatient for that!

I started the Kona cotton block of the month 2025 club from Robert Kaufman and I am loving the patterns so far! This is January, February and March! #quiltsky #blockofthemonth #konacotton

There’s nothing quite like finishing another quilt top. Hoping to get some quilting time this week!
Pattern is Pixellated Heart by Robert Kaufman. Used up a bunch of Kaffe Fasset charm squares. I adore it. #quiltsky #quilting #quilttop

Two more quilts all quilted! The big guy is a test quilt and the little one uses the remnants from the strip sets. I backed them both in a beautiful orange and red batik. #quiltsky #quilts #longarmquilting #testquilt #jellyroll

Sunbathing and cleaning herself on the quilt I still haven’t finished. Sure. You can lay there. #quiltsky #cats #sunpuddles

Making up a very special gift for the 25th anniversary. I got to experiment with free-motion. Lots of swirls. Some more special designs. And I tried “writing” with the long arm. I think it works. #quiltsky #quilting #tshirtquilt

Started making a disappearing 4-patch quilt out of a ton of Kaffe Fasset charm packs and I’m just not sure how I feel about it. I think it’s way too much even with the extra neutral (which would be in all blocks). #quiltsky #quilting #newquilt #disappearing4patch

I found my receipt and it doesn’t look like I got any additional discount for buying whole bolts. Kind of a bummer. But 60% off was good enough for me. I expect next week will be the big final push.

Oh I’m not sure. My slip was so long so I didn’t see it if there was one.

Everything I got today was 60% off!

My final Joann’s haul. Many of these were full bolts. All told I purchased over 100 yards of fabric. Should suit for 15 or so quilts. #quiltsky #fabrichaul #joannfabrics

I finished the quilt on this Jelly Roll Lone Star during the general Makerspace meeting and apparently the volume of completed quilts I post to discord is quite famous 😂. #quiltsky #makerspace #milwaukee #quilting

So obsessed I didn’t even press my seams before taking this photo. Still need to add borders and some more pops of color on the outside. More to come! #quiltsky #jellyroll #lonestarquilt

I think total this one took like 8 or so hours. Just under three baseball games basically 😂😂🥰

Earlier this week I started a jelly roll line star quilt. I wanted a challenge. So apparently “challenge” means just 8 hours of work before half the top is complete and the rest of it will be done tomorrow? Honestly I don’t know how I am so fast. #quiltsky #lonestar #quilting

Hubs requested a cuddle quilt. I obliged. This is at least 80” long and just slightly shorter in width. And yes I made it in three days. Is it normal to be this fast? #quiltsky #quilter #carpenterwheel

I did! I made it a month or so ago!

Thank you! It’s my couch quilt 😂😂😂 it’s called Busy Bee or something?

Why, yes. I did laundry. Second finished quilt! This is for my book club friend who loves peacock colors. I’m so excited to see her reaction to it! #quiltsky #newquilt #churndash #fatquarters

My first commission is washed, dried and crinkly and glorious! Neo has already tried claiming it. #quiltsky #newquilt #carpenterwheel

The cutest carpenter wheel top is complete and I already reserved time for quilting tomorrow! Officially my fastest quilt! Now I’m off to make another one! #quiltsky #quilting #carpenterwheel #commissionquilting

Making the cutest carpenter wheel baby blanket for my first ever commission. I’m making this with the Water Lilies fat quarter bundle and some sandy background color. I’m so excited to see it all finished! #quiltsky #newproject #quilttop #carpenterwheel

Hubs: turn it sideways
Me: um… ok?
Hubs: now you can see the heart
Me:…it’s a star!
Hubs: oh it’s a star? It looks like a heart!
Me: I mean I guess…

Anyway I love the scrappy border on this quilt. #quiltsky #quilting #finishedproject

Me too! Thanks!

Another quilt quilted! Just need some binding but I now have a pinched nerve in my back so I won’t be hunched over my sewing machine for a few days. #quiltsky #quilting #handmaker #craftsky

I wish I knew! My mom made it at least 25 years ago!
