Thrive Quilt finished!

Oh, yeah! It’s time to clean up those unfinished quilts! This was the lovely Thrive Quilt, which I worked on as part of Suzy Quilts’s QAL last fall. I made it a lap quilt — a little bigger than the listed baby quilt and smaller than the full size throw. I got the top all done except for one strip […]

About Me

I’m an artist who has started quilting as a response to being covid-furloughed from my work as an opera administrator, educator, singer and designer. All posts are cat-approved. Black lives matter.

Meet Ralph

Ralph
Ralph Roister Doister is a giant 12 year old cat we adopted as a kitten from SHAID Tree Shelter in Nova Scotia. He is my constant sewing supervisor. While my husband and I have four other cats, Ralph has always been the most interested in snuggling into my fabric, and my current interest in quilting has delighted him.

I'm posting my early attempts at #handquilting pou I'm posting my early attempts at #handquilting pour encourager les autres, and to remind myself that the only way to get better at something is to do it. Every morning I sit down at the frame and quilt a few blocks. It's so awkward - I've never had to use a needle this way. The rocking stitch is satisfying when it works and bloody frustrating when it doesn't. And I'm still working out which combination of pinching finger and thimble finger works for me. I saw a wonderful YT video with a very nice lady explaining that everyone is different and develops a technique that works for them, so that was super reassuring that I don't have to do it the standard way. #handquilted #novascotiaquilters #imabeginner

Organize your space - #igquiltfest2021 prompt for Organize your space - #igquiltfest2021 prompt for day 24 - dear David made this utility shelving for my stash - organized mostly by colour with separate bins for each active project. I need a certain baseline level of chaos to create things (when I first set up the quilting studio it was too neat for me to work in!) but having a place for the raw materials and for projects makes all the difference to me. #novascotiaquilters
