#quilting

glob forbid a little Black girl like me be inspired by the African American women who were hired for their #quilting abilities ―i always forget the #patchwork #quilt artists― because their skills were instrumental with the embroiderers in developing the walls of the spacecraft and the space suits in such a way, when the astronauts were inside, it all connected and worked like a supercomputer. but no, we couldn't teach that part of #NASA history in our schools… 🧵…

the highest praise I've ever received for a quilt was one sister stealing it from the other "because my favourite colour is rainbow, so i should have it" obviously the only solution here is for me to make another rainbow quilt #quilt #quilting

Updated my sewing page with this quick little pillow. Next up: using this pattern in a wall hanging with different colors https://smallcypress.neocities.org/sewing #quilt #quilting #sewing

I just fit the Grinch quilted coat and it wraps around me twice! I cut it so ridiculously big because I was afraid it would end up too small and I just screwed myself the opposite way I guess I’m going to recut it, but that also means I have to recut the lining and this whole project is 😭 #Quilting

layout for quilt no. 6 i think - quite happy with it. aiming to get all the rows joined today. i thought I'd challenge myself to get this one done within two weeks but I've been way too tired for that #quilt #quilting #quilttop

Bought the pattern on the left because I've really been wanting to do a corvid quilt. But somehow it morphed into the quilt design on the right. I don't know when or if I'll make either now, but it felt good to design something in the middle of #AllSummerLongArm Funny Crows is available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1727887093 The other crows are based on Sew Fresh Quilts' Black Birds, (though I graphed the skulls myself): https://sewfreshquilts.com/product/black-birds-pdf-quilt-pattern-instant-download/ #Quilting

dropped by the fabric store after work and found this gorgeous quilting fabric at a massively discounted $3 a metre! extremely excited for it, might use it as backing fabric on my hand-quilting project #quilting #quilt #quiltfabric #sewing

Ogden, #Kansas is so small that even though I grew up in the state, I'd never heard of it. But they have a sustainable, secondhand and deadstock fabric store that I feel Fedi sewists might be interested in supporting https://athriftynotion.com (FYI - signing up for their newsletter might be difficult if you have a pop up blocker) #Quilting #Sewing #Fabric

If someone says they are destashing and selling their unused fabric, would you expect them to be… #Quilting #Sewing #Fabric
