Seahorse wall hanging. No pattern, just lots of HST's.

I have this pattern but have never made it because I can't decide on color. That may have just changed. So glad you shared this!

So many current day quilters would be distraught if their quilt had wavy lines like this. Just goes to show you that one persons trash is another persons museum-worthy piece of art.
I adore this!!

A 56x69 inch quilt top made using browns, grey, white, and black fabrics.  It has a modern and masculine vibe.

Top is pieced and hanging up over another quilt so I can begin figuring out backing and how to quilt it.
Free pattern is called Elements by Robert Kaufman.

The cabinet has a cutout for the hand wheel. I see you call it a football. One person called it a D-cup!
Yes! Imperial. It's so exciting to chat with others who are familiar with machine.

A vintage portable sewing machine in a chocolate brown cast iron looking body.  The sharp lines and angles give it an Art Deco vibe.

A vintage dark brown cast iron looking sewing machine in a beautiful wooden cabinet. The hand wheel has a bulb like shape, making the entire machine take on the appearance of a bullet.

I had no idea Berninas dated back that far.
I've been bitten by the 117 series Kenmore machines. They are my daily piecing machines, and I love them. The one on the right is from 1942.

I'm telling you what!!! I have stopped using all ink markers where they might show. They either leave a little stain, or some leave a waxy mark, and the color returns in the cold. I now use painters tape.

I can see why parents wouldn't want to put baby on quilt # 1 with a bottle of juice or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Quilt #2 is anything goes.
I'm team 'anything goes'
Love them both for different reasons.

I'm not interested in politics. It takes time to like and follow people here who have our same interests and block those who don't. I followed a quilter here, and suddenly, my page was littered with political posts. Turns out she was reposting political stuff so sadly, I blocked her.

I was shocked at how much waste that wall hanging produced. I donated the special rulers and pattern books. Not my thing.

Quilted wall hanging with curved leaves and curved birds. Leaves are mostly green in color. One bird is deep red, one is grey, and one is brownish.

My first and last attempt at sewing curves. They were easy and fun to make, but far too much waste for this frugal quilter.

Did you ring the bell?
I felt uncomfortable ringing the bell because so many were still in the waiting room for treatment .

I'm always amazed that a perfectly beautiful quilt (pre quilting) turns into a fantastic quilt (post quilting)!

The last of my Meyer lemons were picked today. Time to give the trees some fertilizer so the cycle can start over again.

Glue basting my entire quilt has been a game changer. Maybe I’ll try binding next.

Fantastic! Is this a Magpie? Ours are black and white, no blue. I love the striking color contrast and despise them poking pecan nuts in my front lawn!

I'm gonna have to check out their patterns because this speaks to me!

Despite whatever chaos is happening, the Quince faithfully blooms at the end of January !
