Well, pretty glad that I went with different fabric for my current project, because the fabric I preordered back in January just came in, a whole month late, with a yard refunded and another half a yard just missing 🫠 #quiltsky

Its happening. I’m actually working through my backlog. Trimmed and bound three of the six quilts this week that I’ve had on my floor for like a year. Now we wait for the snow to melt and the ground to dry so I can take their pictures. #quiltsky

It feels like every big quilt I do has stages 1. Get excited and start the quilting 2. Make decent progress for a bit 3. Get overwhelmed by the scope of the project and stop 4. Let it sit a while and work on other things 5. Come back with fresh eyes and more patience I think I’m at 5 now #quiltsky

Welp I was going to finish cutting out my Skylight quilt top, but I discovered I shorted myself a whole half yard of background fabric and the store opens after the new year. But, I did finish basting the hexies for section 3 of Alchemy! #quiltsky

Finally finished the matchstick quilting section of this quilt. I am not the biggest fan of the technique as its both time consuming and tedious, but I do love the resulting texture. #quiltsky

Work is still progressing on my custom quilting project, but what kind of quilter would I be if I only had one project going at a time?? This one has been sitting for a while and I’m super excited to finally have time for it!!

Making slow but steady progress! I’m thrilled with how the contrast in density is turning out, but I can’t do too much at a time as I need to give my arms a break every section or two. #quiltsky

Officially back in my studio for the next while! Still recovering from jet lag, and processing that the opera that consumed my life since last November is finally done. Currently working on a Christmas commission, and as always have several personal projects on the docket. #quiltsky

So I just finished this quilt that I got as a kit (called Color Box I think??) and I actually like the top a lot more with the quilting than I thought and of course I paired it with the stash buster special back… bummer #quiltsky

Finally sitting down and finishing some decorative binding I started back in May because sometimes you have to let a quilt sit until it annoys you enough that it is not done and then you can do it. #quiltsky
