Son of a ...Nothing like finding a mistake after quilting 😫😡😳😖. ___________________________________________ #sewingproblems, #quiltersofinstagram, #toolatetofixit

Two things: I can, successfully, go to Joann's & only buy what I went in for 😊. And, holy crap, y'all, I am going to make myself a bathing suit 😳😬. *I'm hoping to mix & match the 2 patterns to make what I'm actually wanting* ____
norikl247:
Probably not the sturdiest of set-ups, but I'm trying something new (quilting while standing) and this was the best short-term solution I could come up with 😉.
norikl247:
Now that my daughter has her own Instagram account, I have to steal her posts rather than sneak pics of her drawings 😆. *her latest @twentyonepilots drawing was done last week* @joshuadun, @tylerrjoseph
norikl247:
I like that the cats kill the bugs for us, I just wish I wasn't the one to always clean it up 😕😫😸. #lifewithcats *there's a dead bug under there...I figured I would spare everyone from seeing that, though 😉*
norikl247:
And the quilting has begun. Couldn't take over the kitchen table this time, but luckily we have a portable table that fits nicely in front of my sewing table ☺. *this is where I'll be for the next few days...with the exception of parental/chauffeur duties

Another time when being a #multicrafter has its benefits 😆. *when woodworking and quilting collide 😉*
norikl247:
That's 3 quilt tops, backing, & batting ready to be basted 😳😬. And that's the first time I have ever had 3 quilts at this stage, at the same time 😳. *and I've been making quilts for a loonngg time 😉* _______________________

Coffee. Because I am dragging like crazy & still have 6+ hours left in my day 😫☕. #musthavecoffee
norikl247:
Borrowing my daughter's floor, again 😉, to test out a pieced back for (one of) my current quilt tops. This is my first ever pieced back & all of these fabrics came from #getyourquiltywishesgranted2 😍. *now to trim & stitch it all together*
norikl247:
And because I can't possibly work on just one quilt at a time 😉, I'm testing out a possible layout for my next just for me quilt ☺. And finally using some of my hoarded @katespain fabrics 💕. *hopefully, I'll have this top finished & added

Waiting for batting to arrive tomorrow, but I may actually get this completed by Monday 😳😬. ___________________________________________ #isewandquilt, #sewmystash2017, #swissquilt, #quiltersofinstagram

#igquiltfest Day 13: Best Tip Ever...my best tip is to just let go, enjoy the process of making, and realize that unless you are entering a competition, no one will see any of the "mistakes" you think you made. *There are no quilt police and we all have o

My fabric buying break has taken a bit of a hit this month . But all the new fabrics already have a purpose so I feel less guilty about it 😉. **bottom fabric is the backing for the Swiss Quilt I'm currently making, #cottonandsteelbasics are for my he

Sshh...I got "yelled" at the last time I listened to my daughter's albums, so this will be our little secret 😉😆. *I'm using her floor to layout a quilt*

**playing catch-up & combining a couple days** #igquiltfest Day 11: Favorite Color; Day 12: Pressing Matters...my (current 😉) favorite color is anything in the teal/aquamarine family and though not my favorite iron, my current iron does the job well

Just ordered the prints for Jordan's art competition and am very thankful for @shutterfly and the ability to order large size prints from home without costing an arm & a leg 😊. *the discount code was a nice bonus, too 😉*. #notanad, #ijustlike
norikl247:
Jordan's ever-growing pen & marker collection and the realization that she's a "messy desk maker" just like I am 😳😆! #creativityismessy
norikl247:
Jordan entered her first art competition last month and today I got the email that she was accepted! I'm so excited for her and can't wait to tell her this afternoon 😊! #proudmomma

Woke up with the migraine from hell & it hasn't gotten much better since 😖😫. So, today has become a rest day until my parental duties come back around this afternoon...thankfully the cats are keeping me company 😸.

#igquiltfest Day 9: Finally Finished: While this one has been finished for a few years, it's the one that was in my WIP pile the longest. It was started in 2002 during a year long Saturday sampler and while the top was completed within that time frame, it

I gave up sweets for Lent (ALL sweets...no cake, cookies, candy, ice cream, etc 😬) and today is the first day that I wish I'd picked something else 😖😳.

Jordan's unused easel is being repurposed for outdoor decorating 😊. *it will also say Welcome Christmas, once I chase Ginger from my laptop & can use my Cameo again 😸😆* #vinylcraft, #multicrafter

Truthfully, I prefer wine over cocktails, but other than that, my new sweatshirt is pretty accurate 😆!
norikl247:
I finished my #goodygoodybindingkit 😊. My bow-tying skills need some work 😆, but other than that I'm happy with it. *PS...all the fabric used was gifted to me from some very lovely people during #getyourquiltywishesgranted2 ☺️❤

Hand stitching the binding on my #goodygoodybindingkit...because sometimes you just have to deviate from your plans & make something for yourself 😊. #isewandquilt, #sewingkeepsmesane

I'm really good at waiting til the last minute to make (or in this case buy 😉) the Advent calendar...thankfully the one Jordan wanted was readily available & on sale 😆. Bring on December 🎄🎁🎅!

#bpsewvember day 30: next up...so, so much 😆! Patterns to trim & assemble, guild blocks & bee blocks to make up, more wishes to send out, quilts & garments to plan, and on & on...because I must always have something to keep my hands & mind busy :
