this is how i was originally thinking... opinions please! #btwqks #VMQG #vancouvermqg #pnwmqg
crafty_dame:
and the second finished notebook cover! I'm gonna use this one for the #pnwmqgmeetup swap, i think. (no guidelines have been announced, so hopefully it'll work!) lined it with @violetcraft bridges fabric to go with the radio on the front. #waterfrontparkf
crafty_dame:
dear partner, i hope you like this cause i freaking LOVE how it turned out! it's going to be a largish zip pouch, like a project bag. I'll baste it tonight, and then it'll travel with me and I'll quilt it and assemble it once I'm in Mass. exciting! #bitch
crafty_dame:
when i drafted the asterisk pattern, i didn't think about the text print being directional, or about keeping the lines of text straight. i think it took almost as long as the letters combined. one down, one to go. #bitchesgetstitchesswap #thehardtohandles
crafty_dame:
progress! i drafted my own pattern cause i couldn't find anything i liked. #ofcourseidid this is pretty much how i was feeling earlier, but #paperpiecing is magic. and so are friends and lovers who make days better. 4 more sleeps! #bitchesgetstitchesswap
crafty_dame:
alrighty #bitchesgetstitchesswap #thehardtohandles feedback please! which background do you like best #1, #2, #3, #4? #1 and #2 will be really scrappy, cause I'm using up scraps. that means the pattern won't be going all the same direction, some might be
crafty_dame:
i might be taking anal to a while new level on this one... #VMQG #vmqgcottonandsteel #embroidery
crafty_dame:
not what i should've been working on, since it's not going to quiltcon and isn't eligible for #cqa, but it was good mindless sewing, just what i needed after xmas. thanks @poppyprint for teaching your #temperaturecheck workshop for #VMQG! #wishmyphonepick
crafty_dame:
i received the most amazing pouch from @tillieandfia ! it is basically everything that i love, combined into one gorgeous pouch! tiny envelopes! rainbows! tone on tones! text print! embroidery! air mail trim! and the fabrics are all yummy too, i recognize
crafty_dame:
puttering away on my piece from @poppyprint 's #improvundertheinfluence workshop this weekend. loving the colour combo, but it's driving me nuts that i matched up two orange pieces in the upper right there. I'll be unpicking that border and flipping it ov
crafty_dame:
I've lost track of how many thread tails I've knotted off and buried in this quilt, but judging by this pile, I'd say it's a fuckton. #quiltconquiltmaking #whatthefuckwasithinking? #itlltotallybeworthitwhenimdone

#latergram from last night's #VMQG sewin. i finished something! with fabric i bought the SAME DAY! it's not my swap item that's due monday, but it is teeny weeny... tomorrow will be finishing the swap item. #VMQG #churndash

#EPP in the #Albuquerque airport/sunport #paperpiecingeverywhere #latergram #goinghome as a side note, the Albuquerque airport is the first airport I've seen that actually reflects the city it's in instead of just being super modern. it's kind of cool, bu

my grandma passed away thursday night. friday would have been her and my grandfather's 61st wedding anniversary, except that he passed 25 years ago. this week would have been her 85th birthday. she taught me to crochet, to do needlepoint, to form my cur
crafty_dame:
I gave up on yesterday's #liberty #EPP and tried again. these #hexies are smaller, 0.3", about 5/16, I think, so the full ring will fit what I'm using it for (as suggested by @2ndavestudio yesterday). and they're still Liberty, but just one print. much be
crafty_dame:
well, that made it obvious! @elnorac @2ndavestudio were totally right. suggestions for background colour? I've just laid them out on my pressing cloth here.
crafty_dame:
what do you think? thoughts, opinions? I can't decide. scrappy is HARD! I love Liberty fabrics in theory (because Liberty!), but... why can't Liberty come in tone-on-tones?!?!
crafty_dame:
more #EPP prep, this time with #liberty I didn't glue baste cause I was hesitant with the fine lawn. these eensy ones go quick anyway!
crafty_dame:
prepping lots of #EPP for my upcoming road trip. I need 266 of these triangles! thank goodness for #gluebasting.

when quilters go for dinner, of course they go somewhere with flying geese on the wall! #pnwmqgmeetup #Nubaonhastings

I was so well behaved! #dressew #pnwmqgmeetup #vancouver
crafty_dame:
$6 a metre quilting cottons? yes please! @bestcoasty and I made a stop at #fabricsetc on kingsway this morning. super excited about a new fabric store in town with really awesome service!
crafty_dame:
finished apron! pretty simple. I was gonna add a second pocket, but the spools ended up a bit taller than I'd anticipated. it's okay, the black row is sectioned off into 3 pockets, that's enough. #pnwmqgmeetup #paperpiecing #apron #spools #aurifil #swap
crafty_dame:
jumbo spools of aurifil 12wt, 50wt, gutermann and aurifil 40wt. hopefully apron assembly will go faster than the pocket panel! #paperpiecing #spools #swap #pnwmqgmeetup #aurifil
crafty_dame:
10:30 the night before? sounds like the perfect time to start on my swap apron! #procrastinatorsclub #VMQG #pnwmeetup #swap

and the back of @happysewlucky's quilt, so that you can see the quilting. I used almost 4 bobbins of 50wt thread on this 16"×20" quilt! #VMQG #vmqgminiquilts #miniquiltswap #matchstickquilting #aurifil
crafty_dame:
completed mini quilt for @happysewlucky! sewing themed, rainbow, embroidery, aqua and red, hearts/love, I fit in almost everything she likes. so so happy with how it turned out. the scissors and the sewing machine are altered versions of other people's pa
