Quilts + Cats 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
I've been working on this Folk Sampler for over a year. It was a 2024 block a week sampler from Art East Quilting.

So relieved to have the blocks come together. I've never had a project like this before. It was a challenge - but we got there!!

I never thought I'd get the urge to make a quilt full of tiny stars.
And here we are.

This one finishes at 2" squared
In my favorite color 🤗

Finished hand binding this quilt! I think it's about my 5th ever hand bound quilt in 15 years. I really enjoyed the process & having something to do while we were at breweries.

Maybe it's a new hobby?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pattern is Disco Stars by Modernly Morgan

My first backpack!

I used the Violet Backpack pattern by Knot + Thread but altered the front pocket. I wanted to keep the star intact.

Can't wait to bring it to #QuiltCon2025

THRILLED with how this bag came together. I pieced together the quilt & densely quilted it with a 1" grid.

All cut up into this duffle bag of my dreams. 😍😍

Ready for #Quiltcon2025 travels

Working on a backpack. So thrilled with the front zipper pocket!!

Huge thanks to sewing friend for helping me figure it out. Aren't sewing friends the best?!

I feel like we need to re-institute Pandemic Rules. Like, we're in a trade war with fucking Canada, of course you can have a Snickers ice cream bar for breakfast and chug wine from a mug during zoom meetings. The rules are there are no more rules. Just pajama bottom it to the weekend. Anything goes.

I love sew in tags - especially when they have cats 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

I'm just going to (re)post this whenever I need to remind myself. Maybe it'll help you too?

1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there.

2. Limit your inputs. You can't help if you're paralyzed.

No. 2 in my HST series. Practically a color study. The lower right triangles are all made from the same fabric, but they look different next to different colors. #bskyquilts #HST #halfsquaretriangles #modernquilt #orangeandblue #quilt #blues #griefwork #muse #color #colortherapy

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The strap arrived for a Duffle Bag I'm working on. It's the perfect color!!
It's sitting on top of the lining. I couldn't pick a single print - so why not do them all 😄
