I've never actually made this quilt but I created this digital mock-up in EQ8 in 2020 during covid lock down. Other than that I don't think I've ever done a space theme.

Storage/display shelves were a priority when I set up this studio 3 years ago after repatriating to Australia. I've never regretted it! Storage is so important 👌❤️

I don't use pins when spray basting. But I always press the quilt after I've basted it to ensure the heat can help the glue to adhere.

My Scrap Satisfaction 2024 quilt is now finished. Using two inch scrappy squares this ended up a great crib size quilt. It'll be displayed on a quilt ladder in our home.

Hubby is away visiting his family for five days, so I'm having a quilty immersion week and catching up on tons of tasks that needed doing in my sewing studio. Today I basted, quilted, bound then washed and dried my Eye Spy Adventures quilt!

With lots of sanding and some dark wax we fixed the frames we didn't like on these thrift ( op shop ) vintage art finds! Our distressed timber vibe is way better than the frame painted weird colours vibes they originally had!

OMG amazing thrift ( op shop ) bargain today! Lefton Bluebirds 🩵💙

Basted and quilted a scrappy rectangle today to make a patchwork dog bed, it features 330 scrappy 2.5" squares & I used a scrap of batting. Simple quick meandering lines quilting. I added a simple backing with a zipper slot so I could insert a couple of cheap store bought pillows.

I've been working on a new book draft for about a year. Hexagon Quilt Adventures will feature 50 EPP quilt designs. I have the first book proof and have begun editing!

Marianne Jeffrey @adventurousquilter.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

I've begun a new EPP project! My Scrap Satisfaction mystery design is available free in four quarterly e-zine issues that I release throughout 2025. This year the design is an EPP project. There are 2 sizes of hexagon template to choose from. I'll be using the tiny hexagons.

Yes it's EPP. The tumbler template pdf is available free on my download website adventurousquilter.yolasite.com

Postage Stamp Tumbler Quilt Top I'll get a better photo some time but couldn't resist getting hubby to hold it up after I'd stitched on the final row this evening! 3500 tiny scrappy tumblers! Ready for basting, quilting and binding!

I made another 100 patch scrappy block yesterday. That's 7 blocks so far & there's heaps of fabric squares left. I didn't really expect those couple of piles of 'busy print' mini charm leftovers to make so many blocks! It's great to de-stash scrappy clutter once in a while with an easy scrap quilt!

100 patch busy print scrap quilt work in progress.

Marianne Jeffrey @adventurousquilter.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

I didn't have a pattern as such I just made scrappy 25 patch blocks with 2.5" mini charm sized squares. But here's a mock-up I did in EQ.

I couldn't resist a video when my scrappy hashtag quilt had its first wash and was hanging on the line drying in the breeze!

I started the weekend with five ready to bind quilts on my to-do list! It was a relief to finish the final one 🤣 then I made a large roll of scrappy bindings to replenish my binding hoard.

Today I got a double sided scrap quilt basted and quilted! 81 scrappy improv blocks on each side of this quilt; yellow on the front and yellow, orange and grey on the back. Total: 162 pieced blocks. It's ready for binding but that can wait til tomorrow!
