Handquilting update Taranto Italia. My stitches are pretty wonky but I’m having fun #kawandi #quiltsky

All roads may lead to Rome, but here is where the road from Rome ends. #viaappia

I will. :)

And sew it begins, the 2026 travel #handquilting project. #kawandi #quiltsky

100 10” squares done. I used scraps from quilts I made over the last 5 years. Happy Quilt Anniversary to me. #modernquilting #quiltsky #stripquilting

I’m cutting into the hoard today. It will be awhile before I actually start piecing the quilt together but I wanted the “scraps” now. Pattern is Colorful Cabins. Most of the fabrics is M&S Textiles plus Paintbrush Studio, and Kennard & Kennard. Black background is Windham Fabrics.

Thank you.

My advice: hand needles dull faster than you expect. Cotton thread has a tiny directional barbs that make a huge difference when threading the needle. 🪡

Have fun!

On to the next stage. After ironing the background of course. #epp #quiltsky #modernquilting #quilting #tulapinknova

Final finish of 2025. Rolling Stone Melody kit from Fat Quarter shop that I bought March 2024. #quilting #quiltsky

I started by watching a lot of YouTube videos. Pick a small project with a simple pattern and go from there.

This quilt finally made it to its forever home. #quiltsky #quilting #cottoncuts

Almost done with the EPP part. 20 small triangles left. #tulapinknova #quiltsky #modernquilting #epp

💯

The pattern is called “A shiver of sharks teeth” got the pattern from a quilt shop in Milwaukee area called My Materials Matters. #quilting #quiltsky #kaffefassett

Garment District in NYC. It’s a blast.

Xmas ornaments from Bali, Australia, France, Canada, Portland Maine, and Portugal.

It’s been an excellent year for travel and I still have one more quick trip before the end of the month.

I still have hopes of finishing the top before the end of the year. One more lap to go. #tulapinknova #quilting #epp #quiltingsky

Testing out different gift bag styles. The green bag is a simple drawstring bag made with a fat quarter. The red bag is my favorite. The white bag was too fussy

Tula Pink Puff Quilt. The top is made with 10” squares, the hidden muslin squares are 9”. The backing is gray minky and I ended up hand tying the intersections with embroidery floss. #puffquilt #quilting #tulapinkfabric #quiltsky

This quilt top went together super nicely. The fabric does all the heavy lifting. The pattern is Gentlemen’s Agreement by new Leaf Stitches. #modernquilting #quiltsky #quilting

Not all bookstores are built the same. #livrarialello

The quilt went together beautifully. I think it is very pretty.

The size is stupidly impractical. 81.5x81.5 in. Too small for a double size mattress. If I make it larger, I have to send it out to be long-armed.

Lesson learned: read sizes before buying. #modernquilting #quiltsky #quilting

Whimsy for the win!

A pair of “Three Yard Quilts”* that will start filling out the donation pile. The meerkat quilt was enlarged by a column since I had additional fabric. #quiltsky #threeyardquilts

I took #mxdomestic’s fabric weaving class last weekend and was able to turn it into an awesome pillow. Great class. Highly recommend. #modernquilting #quiltsky
