Remembered I had this pocket pillow and decided a matching pocket stocking would make a cute set

The Vanilla House pattern for the long stocking was easy to follow. Five stars; highly recommend.

I did make one small change by adding fusible batting. So it’s not technically quilted (the pockets would have covered all my hard work stitching) but it does have 3 layers to help keep its shape

#HolidayLightsAndAbortionRights #Quilt #Quilting #Christmas

A long Christmas stocking staged next to a pillow. The stocking is in shades of pink and green, with a focus fabric of tangled tree lights; the pillow uses the same tree light fabric and has embroidered text that reads “holiday lights and abortion rights”. Both the stocking and the pillow have pockets sewn in.

So... this happened! The most work I ever put into any #quilt, and I'm very happy with the result. #tardis #policebox #DoctorWho #sewing #textiles #quilting #quilters

You're making a fun bridal shower gift set of pillowcases for two dog lovers -- which fabric do you choose (and if it's the first one, which color scheme)?

#Quilt #Quilting #Sewing #Fabric

Fabric with heart-shaped dog paws and intertwined hearts in silver and gold on various background colors, including white, red, grey and black
Dog-themed fabric with sprinkled images of an adorable white and brown mutt, pink heart shaped paws, and the words I woof you on a red background

My second time using batting rather than fleece, and wooden boards to lay out the #quilt sandwich instead of spreading it on a bed. Took me four hours to centre and secure everything using a mixture of thread and spray, but definitely worth it. #quilting #sewing #quiltersofmastodon

A piece of fabric in a long roll lying on a table. The fabric is plaid flannel in green, blue and white.

I've been calling this #quilt my "magnum opus" because I have never made anything this big or pre-planned (by my standards 😆). It's also a present. I rarely make things for other people because that's the only time I have high standards. #quiltersofmastodon #quilting #sewing

A roll of fabric and batting is under an orange sewing machine. The machine and fabric are sitting on a very messy table.

OMG I am so done with this #quilt. I consider it a flaw (& I suspect other people do, too) that the 'fun/exciting' part of quilting - the planning & piecing - comes at the beginning of the project, and the 'tedious/boring' part - backing & binding - comes at the end.

Ashcake

I made the binding for this #quilt out of leftover/cut off backing fabric. Because it’s a small quilt, I used an old sheet for the backing (already washed, also soft). However, I don’t know if I’ll use sheet for my binding again - it’s nigh impossible to keep on grain (I gave up trying to keep it there) and it’s so soft it didn’t want to be cut straight either.

Finished my #InarticulateMedusa quilt top today! I've decided to name it ROCKIN' FEMINISM

(Honestly, I _almost_ finished it. I still need to satin stitch the sunglasses, but I got my fall vaccine duo today and I'm not going to push too hard)

Going to have to buy a king batt for this one, so I won't be quilting it right away, but 🤞 soon

#Quilt #Quilting #WIP

A Medusa-themed quilt top pinned to a design wall. Medusa's head and snake hair are improv pieced from various seafoam green fabrics on a grey background and she's wearing appliquéd black sunglasses. Below her head are improv pieced letters that read Petrify the Patriarchy. An inner border resembles a Greek temple, with two improv pieced Ionic Greek columns on the left and right, and additional Ionic capitals across the top and bottom; this temple border is pieced from scrappy dark and light grey fabrics. Towards the outside edge, a thin black border and wide seafoam green border finish off the design

After being reminded by @BenitaSkinner that books and quilts make a great combo, thought I’d share a bookcase quilt I made for #BookLoversDay too. It was for my niece who inherited the “reader in the family” title, which is why I included titles from my own childhood that I thought she’d enjoy

And here’s the bookcase quilt post that inspired me — https://artisan.chat/@BenitaSkinner/110859780935021218 — click through to see her ‘novel’ take on this traditional quilt pattern

Working on a quick crib sized baby #quilt for a coworker who relocated from CA to NE and has no immediate support system. I hope it brings her comfort in knowing that she isn’t alone here.

The definition of cozy: handsewing a quilt binding in front of a fire while watching Grand Designs on a winter night… 🧵🪡❤️🔥 #sewing #quilt

Did a little bit quilting today. First time with batting. I jut love it, when I'm doing the stitches and it changes from 2-D to 3-D. 🤩

It’s late, so I’m sleepy shopping and wondering what I could do with this Kaffe Fassett bundle — never worked with Kaffe before but I’m drawn by this color palette

Little 😬 to start #AllSummerLong(Arm) #6 now that the thread has arrived — my focus has been ruler-based quilting for so long that I’m worried my free motion skills have atrophied. Fingers crossed my ability to stipple quilt comes back quickly!

Thinking of all the brave people of Ukraine, as they have faced 500 days of attacks from Russia.

The stitching is inspired by a Ukraine woman's actions at the start of the invasion. I call it "Take these seeds..."

Background is the white, blue, and red stripe of the Russian Flag. A large weathered wrinkly hand has several sunflower seeds held in the palm, offering the seeds to the Russian flag. A ring made up of the Ukraine flag colours, Blue and yellow, are above the seeds.

New article about the #NASA quilt project from a few years ago (that my non-quilting sib forwarded to me 👀) — any one here send in a block?

A spider web quilt table topper. No pattern, no tutorial - all just by eyeball. I wanted the edge wonky and I got my wish. I am quite pleased as my first quilt was in January and I feel like I am getting to a place where I might someday create things close to my how I picture them. The paisley fabrics were a gift from almost 20 years ago. I never knew what to do with it but it was pretty enough to keep safe. #quilt #quilting #sewing

Spiderweb quilt on grass meant for a table top. It's in purple, grey, and black colorway. The fabric features skulls, cats, ghosts, spiders, and bats. Narrow black fabric with stitching acts as the webbing and dividing the fabrics. The edges are irregular and wonky.

Holiday fabric sales are my downfall

The three _Favorite Things_ 108” dots (Moda) are going to be fabric gift bags and the _Your Vote_ in blue (Benartex) is for a GOTV quilt I have planned for later this year. 18.75 yds in total

And now because saying it will force me to live up to it — no more July 4th sale fabric no matter how good the deal

A second and very different piece from the Brooklyn Museum for #CephalopodWeek:
Jesse Krimes (b. 1982)
Blackwater, 2021
Assorted textiles
#contemporaryart #quilt

photo of the quilt hanging on display at museum
gallery label: Jesse Krimes born Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1982 Blackwater, 2021 Assorted textiles Purchase gift of Steven and Kathy Guttman, 2021.21 To counter the dehumanizing isolation of incarceration, Jesse Krimes works collaboratively with currently and formerly incarcerated individuals to create artworks out of old clothing and textiles that evoke memories of home. The artist developed his own practice while serving a six-year prison sentence. In this work, Krimes regards the tentacled animal as "a panoptic state of surveillance" and alludes to the eugenic and white supremacist ideas embedded in American zoology. The title, Blackwater, refers to a prison in Florida. • Provenance: Purchased from Malin Gallery, 2021.

Excerpt from my newest blog post with further details about the process of creating my TO PROTEST AND SEW quilt -

"The color scheme grew out of that law enforcement connection and originally it was going to be solely blue and white. But just those two colors alone made the quilt seem flat and it didn’t project the rage and resistance I was feeling. Adding the high contrast yellow, though, gave the design the power it needed. That’s also where..."

I love my new quilt so much, I'm considering redecorating my entire sewing room so it can hang permanently in there (pic is slightly NSFW because of language)

TO PROTECT AND SEW

Completed: June 2023
Design: Word Play Letters / Improv Sawtooth Stars
Quilting: Shazam Pantograph
Size: 60" x 66.5"

#Quilt #Quilting #Sewing

Finished quilt displayed on a design wall in full; wonkily pieced letters read: fuck your "quilts shouldn't be political" ACAB even the quilt police. The quilt background is scrappy navy fabrics, the oversized ACAB letters are pieced from scrappy yellow fabrics and the remainder of the letters are scrappy whites. All the white "O" letters have a sawtooth star in yellow surrounding them. The quilting is done with yellow thread in a jagged pattern repeating across the quilt and it is bound with a yellow-on-yellow stripe.
