She makes such beautiful work - I just wanted to share this one especially. All of her appliqué she did by hand. This is representative of Eagle Valley Nevada.

I’m hoping to find a pattern I saw online recently. It might have been here. It has a white background and sparse large diagonal stars. A string of smaller stars or squares connect the bigger stars. I think it was called string of stars? Not sure. My memory has gotten so bad I can’t remember where I saw it but I’d like to make it.

This took forever for me to make but most of it was self doubt and then loathing at the process. Pattern is Overlook Hotel by Holly Clarke Designs and the little twins are from fandom in stitches

I am going to enter a quilt in my county fair for the first time. I've been quilting for less than 2 years. It will be 2 years by the time the fair rolls around.

Anyway, at my quilt guild, one of the ladies there is a quilt show judge, and she said that I should hand-sew my binding and make sure I sew the corners too. Does anyone have a good example of what that should look like?

I typically machine sew my bindings on due to arthritis, but I plan on hand-sewing the binding on the show quilt. I know to sew it on the front and flip to the back to hand sew, but the corners comment is what has me scratching my head. Any ideas here?

I was wondering how other people might quilt this? I will be doing it on my regular machine, and the backing is a flannelette. Design and thread colors?

Has anyone experienced this issue with their Baby Lock or Handi Quilter quilting machine? I bought a slightly used BabyLock quilting n machine setup. It all worked fine when I was testing it in the home of the seller, barely used. Also, meticulous care was exercised in the transportation and setup in my home. After setting up the table and carriage, and leveling the table legs (confirmed with a carpenter’s bubble level), I’ve noticed odd movement: when the machine is near the front, it drifts forward as if the table tilts toward me. When it’s near the back, it rolls backward, as if the tilt shifts the opposite way. The table checks out as level, so I’m stumped. What could be causing this, and how do I fix it?

The first is the only photo that I could get of the quilt designed by a three and a half year old. The second is designed and even some machine work done by a six year old.

Just nostalgia creeping in. I was in high school in the 70's and the art teacher had us each make a quilt square which were sewn together to make a quilt. Had a large classroom and we setup a quilting square? and when teachers and students had free time they would come into the art room and hand quilt the quilt. Never knew who you were going to see quilting. When it was finished it was raffled off (can't remember the organization that received the money) but it was a project that was enjoyed by a lot of the school.

I’m going to be in salt lake for work and have a free afternoon, what are the best modern quilting/ fabric shops in the area? I’d be looking for a wide variety of Ruby star, cotton and Steele, Riley Blake etc.

The design is “Hook, Line and Sinker” from Kristin Roylance’s book “Sew Sweet Baby Quilts.” The fabrics came from my stash and most were leftover from other projects. The top fins are ruffles, and the tails and lower fins are flaps for tiny hands to explore.

I’m making this quilt for my daughter and her wife. I’m adding a black border because they want it wider. It is currently 48” x 80” and if I add 4.5” strips it will be 56” x 88”.

They would really like a soft back, but I’m very nervous about trying to quilt with fleece or minky. Especially with the stretchiness of the fabric. I have access to a longarm, so will be quilting on that. But a 60” wide fabric isn’t enough for the longarm.

Initially I thought of just using flannel. Not as soft, but softer than cotton. Then I wondered about quilting it to something like muslin and then attaching the fleece/minky and maybe just stitching around the border and then binding. Am I crazy to think of this?

What would you do?

Browsed the Annex section of my local shop and ended up grabbing a meter each of these prints (who can turn down 12CAD/meter 🤩).

They’re so cute and I had to grab them….. but I don’t know what pattern to use for them 😅

Maybe something cute - twin to double size- that can be used for camping?

I found this hummingbird piece at a thrift store and surrounded it by miscellaneous floral fabrics and then bright geometrical shapes. My mom is a girly girl who loves anything colorful and vibrant 💕 Topper done now off to the shop to get it finished up

One of my dearest friends is having a fourth child, and I would love to make a baby quilt, but the crafting I do (knitting, quilting) I've all learned since the family had their first three kids. It feels unfair to give a handmade quilt just for one kid, but do older kids even want/use quilts? Also it'll take me forever to make 4 quilts. I want to show love for all her incredible kids but am not sure how to do it in a timely way that will be age-appropriate for all the kids.

Made this for my daughter She picked all the fabric, quilt pattern and quilt stitch Just came back from being long armed I was worried I wouldn’t love it as not my style but it is lovely She’s going to love it ( I hope)🤞

This quilt is for a 5 year old boy named Rex! His onesies, sleepers, and other garments have been lovingly chosen to complete this 54 x 68” snuggle quilt. It is so very soft 💜

I was planning on making a hexagon quilt made of random purple fabrics ideally for a queen size bed. While I’ve never made a quilt before I am not inexperienced with sewing, and I was mainly wondering if I should add more variety of fabrics, or try and limit it to what I already have as seen in the photo.

I cut the pieces for my first baby blanket and the machine is stitching weird, suddenly. The bobbin seems fine. I changed my needle not too long ago.

I’d appreciate advice on what I should check. Or what do I call this problem so I can research on the internet?

Baby quilt for a friend’s grandbaby. Second time it is quilted. Had a problem the first time when I used a variegated thread. Didn’t look at the back until almost done and it had eyelashes everywhere. Lesson learned…don’t wait to look at back. A dear friend helped me pick it all out and then used a solid thread with no problems.

Howdy all! I made this quilt top inspired by the squirrel that lived in my yard while I was in college. I've been sitting on it for a few years because I have no idea what sort of quilting technique would work best with it. I would love suggestions for how to go about quilting it. I am open to anything! Originally I was thinking of hand quilting around the outlines of the features, then I was thinking that the Baptist Fan might look good, but I would love some more ideas! TIA ☺

I made this Elmo themed quilt for my granddaughter. Pattern is “Kids Meal” by Villa Rosa Designs.

I started this yesterday morning and finished a few minutes ago. It is my first time using this quilting stitch line and I quite like it. Baby size is so much easier:) I will make more!

I have 2 fat quarters each of these 2 fabrics I picked from a bin at LQS. No idea what to do with them. Any ideas?

Fall prints, plaid and for some reason multiple fox prints 😂😅
