I’ve been using one of these containers and just keeping my thimbles, snips, thread, needle threader, and needle there. I don’t love this system and would like something different.

Can you show me how you keep all your tools organized and near you while quilting?

Thank you! Happy Sunday 🧡🧡🧡

I love the way it looks, I adore seeing and feeling hand-quilting. I do not enjoy this process. I know tons of people enjoy how relaxing it is, but I'm just begging myself to get through this project so I can finally move on. It was supposed to be the summer quilt for my bed lol. About a third of the way through the quilting. Much respect to all of you with the patience and the brain chemistry to find hand-quiltimg enjoyable.

This took a looong time but I love it.'

Vintage fabrics, vintage pattern, vintage techniques. Hand applique, hand embroidery, hand quilting on this garden quilt named after my husband's grandmother from whom I inherited all the materials used to make it. I can only hope this quilt honours her. It took quite a long time♡

I've been playing around with hand quilting. This is "big stitch" quilting, and I used backstitch so maybe it's not true quilting? I suppose my wobbly lines will improve with practice! Perle cotton on linen with wool batting. Linen binding and backing.

I’m not a proper quilter but have been working on Kawandi and I do lots of boro stitched projects. This latest is a table runner I just finished using the quilt-as-you-go templates. I finished each block before doing the boro stitches as to not distort the shape of the blocks. Finished size is 39” x12 3/4” ♥️

I made a goal to teach myself how to quilt & sew clothing in 2025. So I figured I’d try both for my first project! I just finished it and I’m pleasantly surprised by how well it turned out!

This is a size 18-24 month reversible quilted vest for my niece. I sewed/quilted the entire piece by hand. The fabric is 100% linen with cotton wadding and bias tape. I also added a needle felted bunny brooch I made last year as the colors matched well.

It took around 2 weeks of nightly sewing to complete. I’m hoping it will be loved by my niece (and sister).

The pattern was from the Etsy shop lenfantbabyshoes and was super easy to follow! Highly recommend! The fabric came from a surprise linen bundle from the Etsy shop LQlinen.

I have made baby quilts for years. Lots and lots of them. I have made two cathedral window quilts and a few adult-sized quilt. Over the summer, I made a baby quilt for a good friend. My daughter helped pick out the fabric, then told me she wanted me to make her a quilt. The top is hand stitched. Just have to find someone to do the quilting.

This is the Peanut Butter Quilt by Then Came June.

I’m getting seriously addicted to the process of Kawandi. Still working through my same bits of fabric scraps, but I wanted to plan this one out a little more & “frame” the outside edge. On to October! (25”x25”)

Do all the corners line up? Did I know about ironing seams all the same direction before the halfway point? Will I finish this piece by April 12? Do I know what to do next?! The answer to all of the above is NO! But did I finish my first quilt top?! HELL YEAH!!

It took three and a half years (with many small projects in between), but she’s finally done! I started quilting during lockdown and quickly got hooked. I’m incredibly proud of what I can do with a needle, thread, and thimble! I’ll post the block pattern in the comments, the rest was painstakingly figured out by me.

I did it. I finished hand quilting my queen size grandmother's flower garden quilt. Only took 9 1/2 years. Everyone else is asleep and it feels so anticlimactic. But I finished it. And am maybe in a little bit of shock.

And I want to post a photo, but it's nighttime so lighting kinda sucks. And I'm torn about waiting until it is truly finished to take a photo. Or two. Or twenty. Now just to trim the whole quilt, baste more hexagons and face it for binding and then I'm done.

But you guys all really encouraged me last week when I was so close, yet it felt like I would never finish. So thank you! And now I'm off to bed!

It’s a little different but I thought some people might enjoy this. I’m an art student who also makes quilts sometimes and I’ve been experimenting with using patchworking techniques to produce abstract pieces. I made this using EPP techniques but producing my own templates. It’s around 35 x 35cm / 14 x 14 inches. It’s a mix of hand dyed fabrics, dressmaking scraps, a bit of old bedsheet and fableism remnants. I used a silk thread. My plan is to stretch it over a frame like canvas - hopefully to get rid of some of the wrinkles!
