A new face you’ll see popping up on my feed 😻 #catsky #catsandquilts

That’s my face when you call my quilt a blanket… Pattern: Plains and Pine Temperature Quilt #quiltsinthewild #quiltsky

More quilts, less social media… Hope you all are well and doing what makes you sane! #quiltsky #quiltsinthewild

I like a good challenge! At the Corvallis Modern Quilt Guild retreat, I made a donation quilt top from donated fabric and bits from my own stash. The pattern kept morphing as I made progress. Another guild member will quilt and bind. What fun! #quiltsky

Quilt Retreat weekend! I hope to have a donation top done tomorrow 🤞🏻 w/ Corvallis Modern Quilt Guild #quiltsky

2024 Temperature quilt #1 is complete! 100% batik fabrics. Pattern is by Plains and Pine. #quiltsky

After machine binding my quilts for so long, I need to get in the habit of hand stitching it. One of the perks of having a quilt judged is getting notes to improve on! #quiltsky

The quilt coat is finished! I explored ice dying the sections after piecing but before quilting. I’m pretty excited to try this method with future projects! #quiltsky #quiltcoat

This has been such an awesome quilt coat project. I’ve learned so much and feel I have so much more to explore with ice dye. #quiltsky

Sometimes you have to put yourself out there. It’s fun to see your work hanging in a show. #oregonquiltfestival #quiltsky

It’s rinse time! Here’s a quick look at some wet fabric 😂 This is the result of melting ice, slowly releasing fiber reactive dye into Pima Base quilters cotton. #quiltsky

Doing something different. Let’s see if ice dying pieced fabric is successful. #quiltsky

One of these years, I’ll make it to Quilt Con, but I’ll have to convince my loved ones to celebrate two major milestones there? At least #quiltfromhomecon makes me feel included 🥰 #quiltsky Here’s my personal best in show (and freshly submitted to the Oregon Quilt Festival happening next week!).

Do I need another quilt coat? Not really, but it seems to be my go-to method of using up leftover blocks from a project. #quiltsky #quiltcoat

Linen pojagi coat in action! This sewing method uses a flat felled seam to join scraps of fabric together. #sewsky

My linen pojagi coat is done! Who knew bits of fabric leftovers could become something special? #pojagi #sewsky

Even on a rainy day, there’s nothing like finding peace at the beach. #loveoregon #quarrycove

Now that I have my sewing machine back from the “doctor,” I’m making headway on my linen pojagi jacket.

Today felt like a good day to switch up the quilts. I like to make seasonal changes (plus it’s a good excuse to make more quilts!). #quiltsky

The princess and the pea. #quiltsky #catsky

Is this the definition of insanity? Nah, just sewing hundreds of 2.5” squares together to help ward off the feeling of existential dread. #quiltsky

I hope this little pop of color brightens your day! It’s an original design of mine and I’m curious if I should write a pattern for it. We’ll see… #quiltsky

Limping along with “old faithful” my sewing machine from the early 2000s. I was told if it needs parts, it’s done for good. I just can’t stop quilting while my newest machine is in the shop! #quiltsky

Blast. My main sewing machine is down. I hope it won’t be too long to get it back up and running again. I do have backups, but darn!

Getting bigger! I like to sew a few blocks together, then rearrange until a flow works and fits within the pattern piece. If all goes well, this will become a coat! #pojagi #linen #wearableart #sewsky

When I’m between quilt projects, I like to go on creative side quests. Korean patchwork #pojagi is a constructive way to use up little pieces of fabric, in my case linen. It’s fun making wearable art! #sewsky #wearableart

Back to Korean patchwork pojagi as I contemplate the next quilt. #pojagi #bojagi #linen

Three borders should be enough. Packing this away to longarm later. Have any recommendations for another fabric stash depleting pattern? #quiltsky

This is a nice distraction. I feel like I’m in my creative best when I don’t have a preconceived notion of the final outcome in design or size. I’m thinking borders to continue draining my fabric stash. #quiltsky

The hexagons are multiplying! Search “Hexaround quilt pattern” on Pinterest. #quiltsky #batikfabric

Feels like a good year to make quilts from fabric I already have. This free “Hexaround” pattern on Pinterest should do the trick. #fabricstashquilt #quiltsky

I had my first mammogram today! It was such a pleasant experience, really!! Don’t let any unpleasant stories keep you from taking care of yourself ❤️ #lovethetatas

I’ll get better pictures, I promise! So awesome to see his new quilt in use! #quiltsky

A recent finish in a more traditional style. This is the kind of quilt I’d make for my daughter…if I had one. #quiltsky #boymom

Ready for a blast of color? This is what leftover cuts from two other projects looks like. Never underestimate the power of color value and saturation! #quiltsky #scrapquilt

Don’t worry, I won’t quit my day job and become a model 😅 It’s best to see this coat in action! #quiltsky #quiltcoat

Do you quilt coat? I made the “quilt” for each coat piece then whipped it all together. I think I’ve made six so far? This is the Ilford Jacket pattern by Friday Pattern Co. #quiltsky #quiltcoat

I had some leftover pieces from my temperature quilts, so I organized them by value and made a little lap quilt. On to quilting with my domestic and donating through my guild. #quiltsky

Backings are prepped for my 2024 temp quilts! I pieced the key into the back and plan to embroider numbers after quilting. Still indecisive on a panto, but something flowing or weather related may suit. Almost done! #quiltsky #plainsandpinetempquilt

My first make for 2025 is a mini quilt! Happy new year 🥳 #quiltsky #miniquilt

Both of my Plains and Pine temperature quilts are done! Now to prep them for longarming in the new year. I made two of them because I felt the first had way too much yellow and curiosity of a second palette got the best of me. I’m still happy with both outcomes! #quiltsky #temperaturequilt

I’m on vacation and nervously anticipating my return home to catch up on my temp quilts! I made two because I initially didn’t like the amount of yellow in the first. #tempuraturequilt #quiltsky

This is probably a good time to warn you of my love for flamingos! I’m certainly finding them everywhere in Las Vegas.

Looking forward to the returning light during this darkest day. Have a joyful winter solstice! #wintersolstice #quilt #quiltsky

Well, hello there! I’ve been exploring quilting as an art form for most of my life. I’d like to share what I’ve learned along the way with you. #quilting
