I've seen November 13, November 15 and November 18 as the day #Voyager1 officially reaches one light day from Earth, so until I figure out which is correct, I haven't added the date May add some stars, too, but I need to get the frame first so I can figure out where to put them Really excited I did this piece and that it was finished-ish in time!

I am so glad I made this quilt. Everything about it pleases me - the theme, the design, the colors and the quilting. It's as close to hitting on all creative cylinders as I will probably ever get I am also glad I found someone who will give it a good home ACTIVISM ABECEDARY 2026 Pattern: Crazy Old Ladies Quilts Counting on Christmas (modified) Quilting: E2E Chevron 64” x 77.5” #Quilt #InarticulateAbecedary

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

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

Surprising number of quilt photos in the article given that it's mostly a small town newspaper article promoting a local quilt shop in #Mississippi. There's nothing too special, but I just appreciate seeing real quilts by real people when so much of what comes across my screen these days is AI generated

This is a must see #QuiltingNews post - you know how graphic novels exist? This is a graphic news article about a community #LGBTQ quilt project in Vermont! Not even kidding, the news article itself is written and illustrated in #ComicBook style.

“Cloth becomes memory, witness and inheritance.”

Info for a Kim Alexis Newton quilt exhibit in #KansasCity (#Missouri side)

The article author talks about the scale of Newton's portrait quilts - which is tying into some thoughts I've been mulling about how big many art pieces are lately. Instead of small and intimate, I like the idea of making colossal statements right now to make sure an artist's message is heard

I don't even remember how to layout a letter anymore BTW the National Association of Medical Examiners does not recognize excited delirium as a condition.

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

I read a few commentaries of each episode of #StrangeNewWorlds and check out the hashtag here on Fridays. Gotta say, the gulf between expert reviews and fan reviews feels like it’s never been larger - regular watchers are delighted with the stories while professionals are nearing hate watch territory with some saying they may quit Trek all together if the show keeps up like this. It’s kind of a weird phenomenon - with echoes of the politician/grassroots activist divide

TIL about Baijia bei Baijia bei, translated as "one hundred families quilt," " is a Northern Chinese tradition where 100 people donate a piece of cloth to a person who then sews them into patchwork blanket (not necessarily a 3-layer quilt despite the name) Also known as One Hundred Good Wishes Quilts (OHGWQ,) such quilts are often gifted to Chinese children adopted by American families https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_patchwork

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange I do think the original seller who inspired this was using a destash site inappropriately to get in front of buyers. $45USD/yd is too high regardless, but it wouldn’t have caught my ire as much on a vintage site @LPerry2@mastodon.social

@effika@mastodon.social so true. Probably what drove quilting in the first place - need a blanket, make it The other aspect to it, I suspect, is farm estate sales. Back home (rural), those were huge. But it’s much less a thing out here (suburbs). If your product is vintage, second hand fabric, that’s where the supply will be 🤷‍♀️ @EllenInEdmonton@yeg.bike
