I came here to say this too. I have one friend who was weirded out by the isometric view - but if that isn't an issue for you it's fantastic. I love it. And I'm torn between playing as Ifan or the Red Prince.

Thank you for your opening sentence! Made me laugh, after one of THOSE days! Hope it's OK to pinch it one day.

Thank you - always a bit nerve wracking chopping up beloved fabric. But it must be done! ✂️

Me too - didn't know that there was actually a recruitment drive with incentives and a support scheme.

Cutting into some of my most favourite fabric... 😳 #sewing #patchwork #quilting #quiltsky #tildafabric
3 different fabrics from Tilda's Chic Escape range, the main one has a green background with a teal coloured stylised peacock - tail folded down surrounded by pink peony flowers. A second grey fabric has ginger jars with pink motifs and the 3rd fabric is a yellow background with pink roses and white babies breath. There is a transparent, perspex ruler with inch markers on the left - with the green fabric showing through. And a lime green rotary cutter on the right, with the blade showing - implying cutting is about to begin.

The Rest Is Entertainment has a good podcast on this, calling out the state support - socialism - they accept, and the work they have to do for a repressive regime: youtu.be/Xtirdmo8ioA?...

Embarrassed to say that this really hadn't occurred to me, but I think it's spot on.

Thanks Zandra. The teal one is a ¼” too big 🙄. So into the 'do something different with it' pile.

I kinda thought that the idea of battalions (!) of single women after WWI had, largely, been debunked? www.emmajolly.co.uk/blog/2014/10...

You must be only moments away from The Reply Guys bundling in, saying you could easily afford big game taxidermy if only you didn't buy branded washing up liquid

I use a Quilters Dream bamboo blend wadding by choice and love it. Have used 100% wool, 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends and I don't think I've ever noticed any great difference in how they sew. Love the drape of the bamboo.

Bluesky being serendipitous with horse loogies:
A screen shot capturing Benjamin's post about loogies and another post that has the following image:

A close-up, side profile shot of a brown horse with its eyes closed and mouth wide open,  revealing its teeth and tongue. There's a black horse in the background and the angle of the photo makes it look like the brown horse has another horses nose and mouth coming out of its mouth.The horses are standing in a grassy field with trees in the background under a blue sky.

Jo's Posey A gift for a friend for a landmark birthday Second time out for this pattern by #RobinPickens using fabric from my stash. But larger this time - about 48" square. And I've included a secret message in the quilting. #sewing #quilting #patchwork #quiltsky
A patchwork quilt representing a floral circular wreath - rendered geometrically - with flowers in peach, dark teal, lighter blue on white and turquoise and peach on black and turquoise and peach on white. All on a lighter duck egg blue background.The same quilt but from further away, hanging on a chain link fence in a light industrial setting - two one storey buildings either side  made out of yellow London Stock brick, with bars on their windows. A tree in full spring leaf in the background and a bright blue may sky above.The same quilt close up. Showing the quilting pattern which is a series of ever decreasing offset squares which gives the illusion of curves as they spiral onwards.An even closer shot of the dead centre of the quilt - where, only about 2cm high, the number 50 has been used as quilting lines. The thread used is a similar colour to the duck egg blue background so the effect is subtle, almost hidden.

Next 5 of a 100 block sampler - designed by #AliceCaroline - using #RobinPickens fabrics from my stash rather than the suggested Liberty lawns. Was planning on doing 2 a week, but 14 weeks into the year I'm at 9/100... 🤨... Need to up my planning skills! #patchwork #sewing #quilting #quiltsky

I absolutely know what you mean @susiehq.bsky.social but sometimes fabric has to become working cloth. And it will change over time, and that will tell a story. And then one day it will return to the earth. And that is good and how it should be. So a wine stain? So be it. 🦦

Made this to practice my machine appliqué. And, as a chronically confirmed bachelor, a belated Valentine's to myself 💘 No passing Beaus to shower me with blossoms (squish squish 😂) Plus two test pieces I've turned into a fridge magnet & an oversize coaster. #quilting #sewing #patchwork #quiltsky
A small patchwork quilt being used as a table cloth, made up of individual love heart shapes appliqued to squares that have then been sewn into a grid pattern. An open bottle of wine and a poured glass sit on top of the quilt.The same quilt hung up. It shows all 36 love hearts in a 6 x 6 grid. The hearts are in different shades of teals / turquoises, mustard yellows, pinks and dark charcoal greys and blacks. Some are patterned with lines, styilised flowers and mushrooms. Some have rose gold foiling. The grid is bordered in another greenish teal. A close up of the quilt showing the hearts are appliqued with a blanket stitch that reflects some of the other colours used in the hearts themselves.A single heart applique in a dark pink colour on a white background being used as a fridge magnet - it's helping to hold up a watercolour picture of a cornflower and an abstract image in blue on white.

I'm in my 50s with clear & abiding memories of this type of shit at pre-school in the Village Hall. I was, what: 3,4 years old & a Fairy, Poof and all their variations. Because I wanted to play with dolls, make-believe home-making, dressing up & not war and guns. I remain fucking fabulous 🤩

I think it helps me to have a number of things on the go - so I can swap to something else if I get stuck or fancy a change. Should be something I can dip my toe into for the next year at least.

The first 4 blocks of a 100 block sampler - designed by #AliceCaroline - using #RobinPickens fabrics from my stash rather than the suggested Liberty lawns. #patchwork #sewing #quilting
Patchwork blocks in four different designs creating simple geometric patterns. Created via a method known as strip piecing where rectangles of different coloured fabric - bold, bright ones combined with an off-white in this instance - are sewn together, then subcut into smaller pieces, then resewn to create a variety of checkerboard, hashed and crossed patterns.

I rarely posted in the other place. And I feel here - and there - is more about the written word. But IG is also spiralling in ways I don't like. So... a recent finish as my first proper post here #patchwork #quilting #sewing

I've been too slow in distancing myself from Apartheid Clyde's platform. Now is the time.
