#embroidered quilt

[sleepnoises]

i put a border on my map quilt (did a medium job) (seam ripping may be in my future) bringing it to 44" wide and THEN discovered my backing fabric is 43" selvedge to selvedge. who even makes fabric 43" wide

i spitefully made a strip of 2" squares to go on one side and fatten it up and i do like my color choices

I was given this yellow sweatshirt with a big meh logo on it, so I made a quilted patch and now it's a favourite!

I’ve been working on this for so long now, and it’s finally finished!

My previous sewing kit was getting too small and I needed an upgrade, so I started working on the bee cross stitch to incorporate and then came across the patches. I was tossing up which to use and then decided, why not make it double sided?

So after many hours of hand quilting it is finally finished and I now have room for all of my equipment!

So apparently I quilt now (not really) and apparently in quilting there is a thing called "popping the knot".

I cannot breathe.

my first quilt!! i was given some fabric that was like printed strips for quilting which i used for the quilt top. the backing and binding were random fabrics that i had inherited from a friend. my neighbor who quilts gave me batting that she had when she found out i was working on a quilt, so I didn’t have to buy any supplies for this project. i used a method where i sewed the fabric strips into rows and then cut them for the patchwork and used a wavy stitch that was programmed into my machine for the quilting. then i hand embroidered a label for it

gets up on my soap box

luke quilting using beru's patterns (at least the ones that he can remember, its been too long--) and making a blanket for each of his students when they arrive. each quilt is different.

he embroiders a cloak for each of them when they graduate. it tells their story of trials and achievements. (don't think about the ones that fall, the ones that turn away, the ones that simply never graduate--)

(he has a room dedicated for all of those unfinished ones.)

just the thought of luke re-learning how to embroider/quilt/knit with his mechanical hand. the thought of his always having engine grease under his fingernails. about him getting so frustrated when his hands can't function like they used to. when beru would gently teach him how to hold the needles and hooks right, how to keep tension on yarn without it snapping--

the scent of grease and ozone and sand and something so master skywalker baked into each item made with so much love that his students cant help but feel secure. he puts a piece of his heart into each of his gifts. (his force presence lingers in each one. all of his students are always welcome back. the cloak and quilt are like a hug--a feeling of home that makes them warm and gives them a sense of comfort: a sense that everything will be okay. because master luke is there.)

there are days where the students just crowd around and watch him work. he'll sit in a chair in front of the fireplace and the kids will gather around. those are rest days. they are sacred. luke will often hum lullabies from tatooine (and alderaan. he was there when leia broke down and sobbed in his arms. so he learned. he learned how to sing the tongue of her world, her family, so that she could know that he was family.)

he teaches the younglings that want to learn. (sometimes he swears he can smell aunt beru's curry, or can feel her smiling at him--)

Can’t stop thinking about how the back side of embroidered words always looks like a long forgotten alien language

Who else still has their childhood doll/teddy bear/blanket on their bed because Jessie's Song in Toy Story 2 s t u c k to them when they were little and they still would never ever want for their old friend to go through that??

Folks from the college board game group A & I met at went and popped out a kid. Made a Catan themed baby quilt for their little Max.
