Finished my second ever quilt top! Taking to a friend who will long arm quilt it at some later point.

Interesting short blog post on Lane Bryant (from a normally-quilt focused historian)

Found this cute little panel in my stash, don't even remember buying it (yes, I know). But whipped out this little design together with stuff from my scrap pile.
I love it so much. These are all things I loved as a child. I wish I had a friend or family with a new baby so I could keep it in the "family", but I don't so it will get donated.
#quilt top is 42in x 42in
My work for the next days: Sewing this flowers and butterflies (there ist batting underneath each, glued with textile glue) with ladder stitch all around the edges on the bought pillow case (80 x 80 cm). After this it is quilting time.
(Not everything is my colour palette/pattern, but it's especially requested by my kid. I sew a relatively simple quilt blanket out of big blocks in rainbow colours last year for my child and will also appliqué butterflies and my beloved rainbow-flowers on this.)

Here's a quilt from 2020 I've never posted on here before!
I took Elizabeth Hartman's "North Stars" pattern https://elizabethhartman.com/pages/north-stars and crossed it with her "Legendary" pattern https://elizabethhartman.com/pages/legendary
52 x 58.5 in (132 x 149 cm) #quilt made by my mom, available; msg me f you're interested in this one, makes a really fine gift to give someone, everyone loves getting a nice quilt -----
Shhhh! This is a secret, made for our granddaughter -- she doesn't use Mastodon, so I should be fairly safe. ;) Her high school dance team won a national championship in hip hop (for the second consecutive year!), as well as the state championship in all categories. The quilt is a tee-shirt quilt to act as a cuddly memento of her years on the team. I machine pieced and free-motion machine quilted this.

New #butterfly design #quilt made by my mom, measures 42 x 55 in (107 x 140 cm); available; reach out to me if interested
Latest finished project - double sided, based on traditional patchwork quilt squares.
I'm really proud of this quilt and I hope I can find an organization that wants to auction it to raise funds, but I fear it took me too long to finish and it's moment has passed

The original phrase was from SarahEppersonShop on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1170204369. I'd been looking for an opportunity to make improv roses and it all just came together
We liked how warm and cozy the quilted curtain made our family room last winter a lot. So I made a second one for the dining room (sure, winter’s almost over, but that’s the life of a quilter)
Would love help naming this one - it matches our Grinch/Whoville holiday decor so I'd love to have that tie into the name, but otherwise, I'm stumped

I've finished #quilting this lap quilt! It's not particularly large but it's taken me a year to complete and it's absolutely been a labour of love. I have a deeper appreciation for hand stitching!
I'm sending it to my sister who's still undergoing chemo, with a note that says "each stitch is a prayer for your good health and happiness" and some photos of it in progress so she can see how many stitches actually went into it.
Feels like a long time since I actually finished finished a quilt, but this one is finished finished and I hope to mail it off to the recipient next week
