#SundayYellow As Seen In Paducah This quilt was part of their fire exhibit. Michelle Jackson (Sandia Park, NM) worked at creating a memory she holds of the warmth and fascination of a campfire. She used hand dyed & painted fabric plus raw edge fused applique.

Kantha in Bengali means cloth, traditionally made from the best parts of old worn saris or dhotis. Also the name of a way of stitching in which variations of running stitch are worked though all the layers of cloth, quilting them together, creating intricate designs #WomensArt

Just finished this Queen size tshirt quilt. Sunflower fabric on the back

I love when clients have an idea for their quilts! This lady loves red white and blue and this is the result.

Like a girl on fire she rises from darkness, bequeathed with mighty powers, bestowed bewildering beauty; she will rise, continue her ascent unlike Icarus not dumb enough to go near the sun; watch her rise, be empowered, all is possible, all is possible #bedroomeyes @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

All quilted and black binding on! Gotta let my client know then On to the next...

Finally have the top together. Of course I figured wrong and only made enough for half a top. Had to spend a day making more! Math is not easy for me. Tomorrow, put on my longarm and quilt, then binding.

Next step for this quilt: blocks are done. Now to sew those together.

Before and after of a SunBonnet Sue. The client does not want white replaced so I tried to stitch it down where I could. Love those Sues!

Before and after. Went from 64x90 to 84x96. Twin sized family top client wanted made into a queen. Added log cabin block and cream tone on tone border. Hope she is happy!

Client has this old full size family top for years. Needs it to be queen. I just need to put binding on it, then I will share the result! I love this Trip Around the World pattern.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

This one going to a store that sell Jeep ducks. Had fun making it!

Yellow fan quilt is done! Replaced all binding except brown with vintage prints. Replaced 5 white curved pieces with vintage muslin. Eight pieces of various fans have been replaced. I put safety pins where I work so I can find them again. Usually they blend so well I have problems doing that!

My backyard

Before and after covering a section of fan with vintage fabric

I love yellow vintage quilts! For this repair, I am covering several white sections that have frayed; a few fan pieces; and covering all binding except brown. All from my vintage stash. Will post again when done!

All done!

Work in progress. Ir maybe done. Can't decide

What is a quilt But love sewn up Into fabric. Blocks of memories Stitched together A hug lying around Ever ready Whenever needed. drioux

Good luck getting past Petunia Pig guarding my studio! Hired her from a market in Alabama.

#poetry Roundelay  There’s a lamentation in the land echoing in the impassive sky, voices raised in a chorus of tears pulled from drowning lungs

The artist is Lexi, a student at the Studio 76 Artists storefront I rent space at. The tears are beads she sewed into the canvas. I believe it is acrylic. I am a huge fan of hers. This is available for purchase. She is not on Bluesky yet so let me know if interested. I will be sharing more work.

What to do when you have to cover mysterious holes and nothing in your vintage stash matches this vintage faded tan. well, you make a flower from that stash! And since the binding was affected, you bring the petals around. After covering and quilting the triangle on the front. Love it!

What do you do if you have mysterious holes to cover but fabric is vintage and faded, hard to match? Well just make a flower (from your vintage stash) of course. And since the binding is involved, bring it around to the front. Tadaa!

I absolutely love this cutie I am repairing right now! A twin size Tree of Life quilt. Actually it is a little smaller than a twin. Maybe for a daybed since the tree blocks all go to the side in one direction. Will show progress probably Friday

Before and after of the back of the quilt that I just shared with the block repair. This one is done, now onto its sister quilt that was brought by the same supernice client. Superfun!

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Repairing a vintage quilt is very rewarding for me. 1st photo is before, 2nd is my choices from my stash, 3rd is midway, 4th is finished! Now onto the back.
