I keep forgetting to post this. I got the first row done on my EPP quilt before my neuropathy got too bad. We'll see if I can get this figured out so I can hand sew again and finish this bad boy!

The Five Year Quilt

I've been working on this quilt for about five years, on and off. I finished the top last year, and it's been sitting in my WIP pile ever since. Please pardon the wrinkles lmao. It's about 4 ft and 3 in on each side, and the patchwork was done entirely by hand (and handheld sewing machine). I'm hoping to make the backing soon (I don't have a piece of fabric big enough for the entire top, so I'm gonna have to Frankenstein it together) and finish the beast. I'm fairly certain I have some batting in my basement, so I don't have to worry about that.

Also pictured are my three favorite blocks! A Star of Bethlehem, a Penrose triangle, and an All Hallow's block, respectively

Started this quilt about two years ago… And just recently finished piecing it, then basted and started quilting!

I’m quilting by hand—because I dislike quilting with my sewing machine—using thick pearl thread and bigger stitches. This makes it go a little faster.

I also recently stopped using a quilting frame and it’s made it soooo much easier to knock out a ton of work all at once. I’m hoping this one will be ready in about a month for when it gets really chilly at night so it’ll keep me warm all winter!

My midterm for my fibers class! All naturally dyed, and the embroidery took forever. The prompt was more or less “do something with color,” so I thought I’d do the story of Noah with the rainbow.

IMAGE ID: Three photos of an art quilt showing a simple geometric boat on triangular waters, I. Front of a rainbow sky. The rainbow is made up of rectangles of different colors underneath circles of satin stitch embroidery in similar but different colors. The first photo shows the entire piece pinned up on the wall. The second one is a close up on the embroidery in the red part of the rainbow, while the third is a close up on the boat and the embroidery around it. END ID.

finished piecing my first quilt and dropped it off to be quilted today!

the act of creating this has been so rewarding. i’ve learned a lot, and i treasure every moment of hand sewing squares with my mum while listening to a spooky podcast.

overall, i’m very proud with how the top turned out and i cannot wait to see it done and to be able to use it!

my great-grandmother was a quilter. stitched beautiful murals with thread and twine. patched up our clothes with fabric and our souls with love. now she’s gone and i’m bursting from the seams with homesickness and she cannot sew me up anymore. so today is a day to wrap myself in her blankets and dream of her.

I am quite proud of this stitching line.

I wish they all looked this nice, but in the end they won't even be seen. I will just enjoy the pretty ones while I can.

I sewed a coat! Everything is made from scratch, sewed from a pattern. The motif on the back is designed and hand sewed by me, and reads “Bass Fiend.” (Which is a nod to my favorite song, Dope Fiend by Acid Bath, and I’m a bassist.)

I’m trying to put together a well lasting wardrobe so I don’t have to rely on corporations for my clothes. I have my patch pants, a vest, a shirt (from scratch as well), and this coat. I’m hoping to knit a sweater and a sweater vest next.

(Below are the alterations to the pattern as well as the logo design stages)

So how do you make quilt squares. Square. When I cut them, no matter how precise I am, they ALWAYS come out lopsided.

Help me 😭😭😭
