Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Groceries were 150% of what they were last time. I think the economic #trumpslump is starting to infiltrate our everyday life. Super. 000 0

Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 20/03/2025This is Ella, an almost 12yo species of particularly invasive lap fungus. She’s got 5 thumbs, a birthmark on her eye, and we named her for Ella Fitzgerald because she walks around singing. She has been wheezing and getting thinner and thinner lately, and scans show cancer in her lungs. I’m broken. 180 8

Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Love it! I may have to get this pattern because I know my husband would *love* it. :) 000 0

Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Also: PDF pattern drop— Jean jacket pattern that has taken me forEVER to figure out but I did it! I DID IT. Woo! And a half-clamshell apple core pattern in 3 sizes and 3 options that is fat quarter friendly. My Etsy shop is messygoatsews ❤️ 170 7
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 02/03/2025It’s been a heck of a week. Lots of quilt ideas swimming around in my head so I can respond to current events in a more constructive way than just worrying or mouthing off. *sigh* 060 6
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Yeahhhh… I considered making chocolate chip cookies today but didn’t want to “spend” the eggs that way. Seemed too indulgent. 020 2
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 10/02/2025FebruARTy … #quiltsky #quilting #februarty #inspiringartists I made this quilt based on a section of a digital painting I designed in Procreate a few years ago, testing a technique I hope to teach someday.

Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Just adding to the online art show… keep pushing back, friends. Take care of yourselves. ❤️ 1160 16
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 05/02/2025I found a source for half-clamshells so that construction is a bit easier, and they will be available in three sizes! Yay! 010 1
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 04/02/2025How I spent my retreat this past weekend… pattern testing! I promised this pattern by the end of the month so I was walking through my instructions and making sure I had all the diagrams I should have. Getting much closer, and I have something pretty too! #quilting #cherrywoodfabrics 2350 35
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Made this using Sam Hunter’s “Quilt Talk” book in 2021. I haven’t finished putting it together because I think I want to size down his name a little bit so it isn’t the longest line, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I think it’s time. 2362 36
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 26/01/2025I’ve made 10 of these. Two aren’t shown here because I either don’t have it anymore (I took it apart because it was too small for Santa’s elves) or because it was the prototype and isn’t quite right. But after a year of hard work, I think I finally have figured out this garment pattern stuff. 0100 10
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 26/01/2025I love IYKYK work like this. Especially when people who don’t know (and wouldn’t like the meaning) gush and gush about the clever design at quilt shows. Warms every cockle of my heart. 120 2
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I’ve been hard at work getting my GenX Jacket pattern finished and ready to go. I’m excited but a bit worried about being able to keep up with orders… because of the size of it I’ll only be able to sell physical copies and I don’t enjoy the shipping part. 050 5
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I’ve been away. I’m tentatively peeking back in. *sigh* Scary times for marginalized communities… nervous. 040 4
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 27/07/2024Finished the handstitching on this [FINALLY] and now my question has been answered— yep, it works. Didn’t know for sure until now. #cherrywoodfabrics #opticalillusionquilt 4183 18
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 25/07/2024Maaaaaaaaaybe we will get home tonight but I’m honestly not optimistic; every single flight we’ve watched go through this gate today has been delayed and ours isn’t until 8:45. 000 0
Elaine Wick Poplin @messygoat.bsky.social · 25/07/2024Currently 31 hours into an epic saga of trying to get home from a wonderful family trip. Yesterday our travels took us on a 15h tour of the northeast US that finished 115 miles from where we started… and even further away from our desired destination. 000 0
