Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 01/10/2026#quiltsky #quilting I bought this as a panel in a buy one get one free deal. It's meant to be a soft book, but I was hoping that I could turn it into an activity quilt. It needs border, but I think it's going to be cute once it's all together. 1150
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/09/2026#quiltsky #quilting I had bought this as a mystery kit. I got impatient and didn't lay it out as well as I should have, but I'm pleased nonetheless. I think I will probably remake this one at some point, but with fewer patterns with writing in them. My brain can't handle this many directionals. 1151
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm already trying to figure out the math of adding another cat so that I can customize it for a friend. 020
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It is over. That's about the only positive thing I can say about it. LOL. Thank you, though! 010
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/09/2026#quiltsky #quilting I've been home from school all day because I had an afternoon of dental work, but somehow I managed to finish my block challenge wall hanging and cut and assemble this cute Christmas kit I bought a few months ago. I'm definitely making this quilt again. It's too damn cute. 4388
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 22/09/2026#quiltsky #quilting My local quilting group is having a mystery block challenge. I picked a random pattern & had to make it in red, white, & blue. I think I'll triple it & turn it into a wall hanging. I've been hanging on to this paisley scrap for a few years, and am pleased with my color matching. 1200
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 17/09/2026They are so much fun! You just have to constantly remind yourself that their brains aren't done cooking yet. Thank you so much!❤️ 100
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I impulse bought some cute charm packs this summer for quick projects, and I this fruit one caught my eye. Thanks! Year 30 teaching middle school math. No kids, but I am a stellar aunt & great-aunt LOL. 100
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#quiltsky #quilting Another unfinished project has been finished. I had most of this quilt together with one of the patchwork borders, but never got around to finishing the bottom. It feels good to sew again! 4385
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 15/09/2026#quiltsky #quilting With school starting again, I've kind of lost my energy for sewing, but I'm trying to get it back. I started piecing this several weeks ago, but got back to it tonight and got the top finished. It's a very small project, but I'm pleased. 2242
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I think the pink one turned out really cute, it had a nice flannel backing on it. I donated the three small ones, and gave the other two to my mother to use as gifts. 000
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 04/07/2026#quiltsky #quilting I finished the middle of my cats in pajamas quilt. Not sure how I'm going to do the border yet, but I'm happy with this part. 1011312
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Squee! I know, right? I was so chuffed when I laid it out! 😊 020
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 30/06/2026#quiltsky #quilting It needs a border, but I'm super happy with how this project turned out. I had no clear vision, I just started making rainbow disappearing 9 blocks. My initial layout did not look like I thought it would in my head, but I fell in love with this configuration. 8666
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/06/2026#quilting #quiltsky My sister & I needed a gift for a close family friend who happens to be a nun, so I went through my stash, got out a new pattern, and made this Pope tray bag. I'm really happy with my machine quilting, as I just eyeballed the parallel lines. 2163
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/06/2026#quiltsky #quilting I was playing around with some Halloween paper pieced patterns for a upcoming class I'm teaching. I made an impromptu wall hanging out of them. 2394
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 25/06/2026It is called Kansas Star. Here's where I found it. www.facebook.com/share/v/1DFD...facebook.com 110
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 25/06/2026#quiltsky #quilting I FINALLY had some free time to sew this summer! I'm trying desperately to stretch these remnants into a full project. The block also produces a wealth of HST's, and I plan on using them too. 2290
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 04/06/2026#vectrex #retrogaming We found our holy grail this week! A local online auction house was selling off a huge gaming collection and we snagged a Vectrex w/ carrying case & 6 games (including a multi-cart) along with 3 lots of Atari stuff that had some excellent items I need for my collection. 051
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 01/06/2026#quiltsky #quilting Also had time today to bind these 2 throws. I bought the fabric for these quilt tops at a garage sale last year. They were two gallon bags filled with precut rectangles, and they were a dollar apiece. I couldn't resist. I did my best to use as many of the pieces that I could. 3141
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 01/06/2026#quilting #quiltsky I thought I was done with my 36 blocks, but then realized I'm short two orange ones. Looking forward to seeing this project when it is complete! (Blue & purple in comments.) 3161
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 31/05/2026#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath My sewing room continues to be my happy place. 020
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 31/05/2026#quiltsky #quilting Spent some time today organizing my sewing room, then made a few paper piece blocks for a workshop I'm doing in July. 0181
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 30/05/2026#quiltsky #quilting Today was the last day of my 29th year of teaching. I'm looking forward to having more time for my projects. Tonight after graduation, I made a block I've been wanting to make using some remnants. I really like how it looks. I'm hoping I can stretch the rest and make a throw. 1240
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Thanks! Those were all offcuts from the remnant basket at a local quilt shop. I assume they made a store sample from a collection, so I had to stretch them a bit with matching solids. 040
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 19/05/2026#quiltsky #quilting I've had this quilted for a little bit, but finally got around to binding it. 1191
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 19/05/2026#quiltsjy #quilting I got this quilt back from my longarmer yesterday morning, and got the binding done last night. It's a graduation present, so it was first on my list. I used some of the leftover backing to put a piping on the front binding. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. 4303
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 17/05/2026#quiltsky #quilting It's been a very hectic month with not much time to sew. I managed to sneak in a cat block tonight and finished the 2nd sewing theme panel in a set of 5. 0230
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Yes, but I'm going to have to make the font a little bit smaller. 020
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 06/05/2026#quiltsky #quilting Impromptu project for the quilt shop I am working at part time. We finally got a point of sale system, but I did the brunt of the inventory & set up ocer the last 2 weeks. I haven't had time to sew lately, so I made this more for my mental health than for the shop. 2180
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I think somwthing similar has happened to all of us. Lol 010
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I saw it on a Facebook tutorial. I thought it was unique too. www.facebook.com/share/v/1R7U... 120
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 22/04/2026#quilting #quiltsky It's been a while, but I'm back to my rainbow disappearing nine blocks. This will probably be the next quilt I finish up. I still love how these look, and it's great to use up scraps. 2190
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 20/04/2026It is sad. It was all very sudden, so no one around here has processed it yet. 110
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 20/04/2026#quiltsky #quilting A local quilt shop is closing, so their entire inventory was 55% off. I treated myself too a bunch of new patterns, and a few cute small project kits. This is a 10-in Square Mini quilt. Fussy, but kept me busy. I think it turned out cute. 22317
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 19/04/2026#quilting #quiltsky I got a free charm pack at a quilt shop event, & decided to try out this baby quilt. I really like it, and I'm proud of myself for not getting too bogged down in making it balanced and orderly. Trying to learn to lean into the chaos. Also got the binding done on an old project. 0270
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 18/04/2026#quilting #quiltsky Dropping off quilts tomorrow to my longarmer, so I finally finished the borders on this Xmas quilt. Great way to showcase a lot of fun Christmas fabrics! 2201
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 17/04/2026You buy the fabric in pre-cut two and a half inch strips. For the one I made, you sew them all together end to end before you start to construct the quilt. Then it's kind of variegated throughout the project. There are lots of other configurations you can do with them. 020
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 17/04/2026#quilting #quiltsky Finally got around to trimming this jelly roll quilt and getting the border on. It's going to be a graduation present. It's my first jelly roll project, and I'm not sure that I like the medium, but I'm happy with how it turned out. 72638
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 13/04/2026#quiltsky #quilting I'm tricking myself into getting some projects done. I REALLY want to bind my dress quilt, but it's a patchwork binding, so I need binding scraps to sew together. I bound 5 small quilts today (2 made from a friend's flannel scraps, and 3 rescued vintage patchwork tops.) Progress! 2141
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 12/04/2026#quilting #quiltsky I felt motivated today, so I went ahead and finished the quilt top. I am very pleased with the result. 4381
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 11/04/2026#quilting #quiltsky Spring Break & Easter did not allow me much time for sewing, but this week, I finished the blocks for my book quilt. Cannot wait to see this one all put together. 0160
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 31/03/2026#quilting #quiltsky Last of the single books done! Just a few more stacks and I can put them all together! 0140
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 31/03/2026#quilting #quiltsky I finally finished the bobbin wall-hanging for the quilt shop I work at part-time! I'm torn between the pins or the seam rippers for the next one. Also got another stack of books done. Woot! 1241
Maggie (C2E2 26) @chive5.bsky.social · 26/03/2026#quilting #quiltsky I needed something simple to make while I multitasked during a zoom call. At this rate, I will be ready to sash the book quilt pretty soon. 0170
