Per my blog, I started my Single Girl Quilt by @dsquilts waaaay back in 2009 when I was solidly a single girl. It was my second "pattern" quilt and only took me 12 years to finish. Why 12 years? Well, legit. I cut out ten thousand pieces for the largest quilt I've made to date. And I ran out of fabric. Then motivation. Then I didn't love the colors anymore. And while I will now admit that I do quilt, I am still first and foremost a clothing sewer, and that will always take precedence.⁠
Made our Rubaby stuffed frogs from my mother's old BDUs. I'd always wanted to make a memory bear for myself, but when Ruby came along, my dad was willing to give me her old uniform. I chose a frog because they are green and I've always been fond of "Rainbow Connection".
It took three tries to finish this #rhythmquilt top. Operator error since most of my sewing is around 5am these days. Swipe to see previous two versions. Final photo is the drapery fabric this quilt top will coordinate with. The drapery fabric was selected by our designer @reidycreative for our living room. I turned to sewing and interior designer friend @bluesatinstitches to choose my quilt top colors to coordinate (she can help you too are overwhelmed by choice and not sure what you want). That curtain fabric is $80 a yard, so, um, I don't actually have it yet for my living room 😂.
Most of you don’t know that we have been trying to become adoptive parents. As with many other things, COVID basically shut the process down. But as the world started opening back up recently, we were hopeful there might be some progress in the next six months.⁠
My friend Indira (at right) came up from DC today and we were able to see the @geesbendquiltmakers acquisition at @baltimoremuseumofart The exhibit is small, poignant and tells the story of the quilters and how thier work funded civil and voting rights action in Alabama.
Thanks to the generosity and decluttering of @a_little_sewing I now have the BEST lighting set up in the sewing loft.
