fibrehaus: I think metallic thread is my new best friend.
fibrehaus: How I spent part of my vacation day: It still needs a good press and some minimal squaring around the edges, but 13 months after I started #thecollectionquiltatx is pieced. I need to fight the urge to big stitch it, or it will never get finished.
fibrehaus: Starting to put together my hand sewing for the upcoming work trip. (Last two #thecollectionquiltatx blocks) I need to make sure the unicorn gets added for more hand quilting.
fibrehaus: This fabric makes me happy.
fibrehaus: Improv hand quilting taught by @cauchycomplete today hosted by the @austinmqg. Grateful for the experience and gathering of wonderful quilty friends. Thank you Chawne Kimber and guild leadership!
fibrehaus: I may have been convinced to get this fabric. It's so fancy.
fibrehaus: One of two templates I'm using to mark my hand quilted half circles. Let the laser cutter be you bff.
fibrehaus: Picked back up on hand quilting half circles a half inch apart. Filtered to highlight the many, many stitches.
fibrehaus: Maybe I need a separate IG account for Lego shenanigans...
fibrehaus: Last minute Lucy, but handwork takes time. Hand appliqué patterns designed by the fabulous @xostitches (Niku) for the #sewtopiavirtualchallenge #hoffmanfabrics #indahbatiks #indahbatikschallenge #handappliqué #bigstitch
fibrehaus: Finished the appliqué on this tonight. These pattens were designed by @xostitches, and I've had the privilege of testing them out. So much fun and variety. Can't wait to start quilting it. Now to ponder...
fibrehaus: The big kid's collection from last week. He amazes me.
fibrehaus: I've enjoyed my experience working on @carolynfriedlander Collection quilt so much i have been doing other projects with hand appliqué. It's addicting. Filtered for that vintage effect. #lofi #thecollectionquiltatx
fibrehaus: Sewing break instead of a proper lunch break. Sometimes you have to sew instead. Anyone else do this?
fibrehaus: Future soup
fibrehaus: It still needs to be pressed, but this one is done. I need another embroidery project.
fibrehaus: And then this happened!
fibrehaus: Had to hang this next to the embroidered @kmctee sugar skull. I can't wait to finish her love birds embroidery kit to go on the wall.
fibrehaus: This is another appliqué WIP I started. There's something about simple shapes like a half circle.
fibrehaus: Detail of Mogamma (2012) Julie Mehretu
fibrehaus: You know, sometimes you have to finish that project you started in 2013. (I'm a little ashamed.)
fibrehaus: Then, there's this one.
fibrehaus: I think old Legos, especially this cat, are my favorite.
fibrehaus: We aren't professionals, but these don't suck! Go team!
fibrehaus: Someone requested animal-shaped cookies to share with his classmates tomorrow for his fifth birthday. Yay for late night baking!
fibrehaus: Most likely my last post from #sewtopiaatlanta @hey_denee This one is for you! @stars_sunshine love this pattern.
fibrehaus: So glad @ljonkman and I got to eat here. Southern goodness! #revivalatl
