Working on 3 commissioned quilts, using my clients fabrics. I love how this is coming together. After working on my own designs, it is a welcome break to follow a pattern.

Monday Makers Spotlight (Tuesday edition) is on Bronwyn of @by_bronwyn_textileart

Bronwyn is an incredible textile artist who is based in Japan.
It was incredibly difficult to choose what to highlight, as her work is just so stunning. Have a look at her page to see more of her work and her process. Her use of different textures, patterns, and stitching makes each piece come to life.

Another little peek at the quilt that I am making

Another little peek at the quilt that I am making for @quiltingcowboy using his new line, Leaf, for his look book. Leaf will be available in May, so start planning a few projects. My mum kindly offered to hand stitch the binding for me (she does it perfectly, and enjoys it). She is the best! Only a little more quilting and it is ready to go. I have enjoyed working with Dale’s new line.

Introducing my first artist spotlight for Maker Monday.

Meet Josianne of @indigo_shima who I discovered through @alderwoodstudio Pattern Writing Academy. Her work (and brilliant photos), always stops my scrolling to get a better look. Josianne is now based in Hong Kong, and makes modern and traditional quilts, with an emphasis on repurposed fabric. Her work is creative, diverse in style, and so so stunning. Have a look at her page to see her latest work and gorgeous photos.

I will be featuring an artist (quilter or otherwise) each Monday, who’s work I admire (who also have less than 1.5k followers). *DM me if you would like to be considered for Maker Monday

Distraction sewing and wishing I was somewhere else. My friend @nickyscudds gave me this bundle of Irish wool wovens from @magee1866 (Magee of Donegal) a few years ago, after I had been swooning over them at the Knit and Stitch show at the RDS. I am adding some curves using my new @bettycrockerass curve set. I didn’t trim them down to give them a little bit of an edge in spots.

Pattern release day for @bloomingpoppies wonderful new #frameworkquilt
This was a quick and fun improv pattern to make, and it has been snuggle test approved.

I used great scraps and yardage from my #summersampler2020 quilt and made a 2 sided quilt. This is great pattern for scraps, fat quarters, and yardage. The process of making the blocks is very relaxing, and adding n the large background gives it a wonderful controlled improv feel. I would happily make a few more of these. Thankful for the opportunity to test it. Karen @bloomingpoppies has great videos on her page to help you through the process and a discount today.

#sjsabom blocks so far, I posted the last one too quickly with the #votequiltblock photo. It is wonderful to be part of a BOM that challenges my thoughts, ideas and and biases as well as technical skills. Have a look at all the (free) patterns available at the @sjsa website. There are new skills and so many things to learn and think about along the way.
All of the blocks are based on SJSA Youth Artivist blocks. We need to see and hear what kids and young adults are thinking, feeing and experiencing.

Tomorrow is the last day to vote if you haven’t already.

Here is one of the November blocks for the #sjsabom (designed by @misterdomestic and inspired by a @sjsacademy Youth Artivist). Powerful design and message. The more people who vote, the more people who have their voices heard.

Please think wisely about your choices all the way down the ballot. Think of who your vote will effect. Vote with empathy. Vote for change.

Finished my #summersampler2020 quilt and am so chuffed with it. I decided to quilt it in subtle waves and am loving the fresh out of the wash crinkle. Thank you @greengroves for the sweet paper boats, I may be obsessed. They have been moving around the house waiting for me to finish this quilt.
Thank you to @lee.a.heinrich @freshlemonsquilts @swimbikequilt and all the wonderful designers for another great Sampler!

There is also a sneak peak of this double sided quilt on the last slide. I used scraps and yardage from the Summer Sampler quilt for my #frameworkquilt (designed by @bloomingpoppies and out on Nov 4). They were a perfect compliment to each other.

After some sad days, it was time to #vote. So thankful that in Colorado it is so easy to just drop it in the box with no queue, no drama, and a guide to help inform my vote. Hopefully this is the way forward for all States. It was a nice surprise to come home to a lovely surprise from @dcn8vquilter gorgeous quilty card and pin from @quietplay designs 🤩

We lost one of of the best today. My Grandpa McEntire passed peacefully in his sleep at age 99. He leaves us with so many memories of his kindness, love, creativity, dedication and peacefulness. He was a wonderful Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, brother, friend and neighbour. I am thankful to have so many beautiful reminders of him, in the many things that he has made for me and my boys over the years.

Working on spray basting my #summersampler2020 quilt. It is a 2 sided quilt, but the other side will be revealed soon. Masks come in handy for more than just pandemics and wildfire smoke. I prefer to do this outside, but the smoke is probably just as unhealthy today. Hoping the cooler weather tomorrow helps with the fire(s).

My Grandpa turns 99 today. He is still one of the kindest and peaceful people that I have even known. He was always ready to help anyone out, especially if something needed fixing. He was a master carpenter and and all around handy guy. I come from a long line of people who can ‘make and do.’ I am the most thankful for love and care he showed and taught us all. It is heartbreaking to not be able to see him in his birthday this year.

Spending some time quilting the #summersampleralumniquilt which we hope to auction soon to benefit @sjsacademy. @mringer58 sashed the blocks, assembled the top, and found a beautiful fabric for the back. So many beautiful blocks in black and white were given by #summersampler alumni to make this quilt amazing. We will show the whole quilt after it is bound. So thankful for everyone creativity and skill, and to the #summersampler block designers who made their own quilt for auction which inspired the alumni quilt.

Thankful for being able to vote, and not by absent

Thankful for being able to vote, and not by absentee ballot. Thankful that Colorado is set up to vote easily for everyone. It is frustrating to see deliberate voter suppression and confusion in so many States. Research and vote. Think and vote. Make lists of candidates values that they actually represent. Do not vote to ‘toe the party line,’ despite the candidate. Vote with empathy, advocacy, and compassion for others. Do not vote for greed, hatred, spite, or to diminish other people’s basic rights.

Getting my National Quilt Museum BOM quilt ready t

Getting my National Quilt Museum BOM quilt ready to go to the @nationalquiltmuseum to be displayed for a few months starting in mid October. It is an incredible privilege to have my quilt chosen to be displayed amongst so many amazing quilts. I joined the BOM in January to get the #eraseinjustice block pattern offered by @sjsacademy and designed by @quirkygranolagirl (based on a Youth Artist block). It is such a powerful block, which I didn’t see as controversial at all. I was soon surprised by the opposition to this block. Who is opposed to erasing injustice?! Apparently a lot of people. Anyway, I made the block and decided to make a few more blocks. I learned a few new techniques, caught up, and carried on with the rest of the blocks. I ended up loving the blocks and finished my quilt. The erase injustice block led me to join in the #sjsabom which is ongoing and has become a real passion. I am very thankful the National Quilt Museum for their Block of the Month program and their quality of content in general.

One of my favourite patterns of this year is now out in @makemodernmagazine. I was lucky enough to test #starlikequilt designed by @amarar_creacions back in June, and I can finally show it. Another clever pattern from Catalina, Starlike has plenty of options to customise. I like how the star has a very organic feel to it. I made my version using @janeteclare Geometry prints and her Texture fabrics. Check out @amarar_creacions to see more colour ways.

Messing with paper boats to maybe go with my #summersampler2020 quilt (see yesterday’s post). I was thinking tiny, but I am worried they won’t look like boats if I go much smaller. These are 6” wide. Maybe borders?

Stalling on some big projects today, therefor I mended 6 pairs of kids jammies, 2 trousers and a few other bits. I decided some of the extra mending clothes wold look better as a quilt block. This one is for @hellonursekate and her Gee’s Bend inspired quilt. This one has one jammie bottom leg and sleeve from an old @patagonia men’s shirt sleeve. 18.5 x 18.5”

Not much sewing being done today. Prepping for the massive temp drop and snow (it was 100 degrees yesterday). The garden is still going strong, so the beds are now covered. It looks more like my kids made crazy forts. We even brought the newly planted (very late planting) Garden Tower in. My lads are so helpful when it is important. Fingers crossed for plants and trees, but the forest fires are a lot more worrying. We have friends who live close and it has been many weeks of worry for them. From here it is just yellow fog that is snowing ash. Hoping the snow gets the fires under control quickly for so many people’s safety.

American Pie block for the @sjsacademy BOM. This block was inspired by an SJSA youth artivist, and designed by Michelle Freedman @stitchwellandprosper
It speaks about the inequity of wealth distribution in the States. A tiny percent of Americans (1%) are getting most of the pie, which leaves a huge amount of people with a small slice.
2nd photo is the rest of my finished blocks (still missing a few).

#starcluster quilt for the @nationalquiltmuseum sew along. I just added the 4th border, so one skinny border and a larger one left. It has evolved with each border, with each choice altering the next step. I am using @janeteclare fabric for this one, mostly her Geometry line and her Textures.

I decided to make a centre or corners for my quilt using 4 of these blocks, but it ended up too bright to go with the rest (see last photo). Now they will be on the back in the centre. I am having a hard time choosing which layout I like best, any opinions welcome! So I started over and made a bluer version for the main quilt. Fun, quick pattern, thank you! Second photos is all of the main blocks so far.
I am using fabric by @afewscraps (ombré and circles) and @heatherrossinsta (paper boats).

Creepy Eyes by @amarar_creacions
is out today for #quiltblockmania It is a free pattern on her blog. Curved paper piecing is a fun new skill to try if you haven’t yet. This is my second Creepy Eyes block that I have tested for Catalina, and I will be making a few more. For this one I used glow in the dark fabric, and will be for my Sam, the king of creepy stuff. #creepyeyesblock

Somethings that @verdelobosproject posted yesterda

Somethings that @verdelobosproject posted yesterday resonated with me. He is a brilliant writer and inspiring parent, and was talking about taking his boys to art galleries and the importance of ‘radical imagination.’ Words to live by and hopes for my boys too. I grew up in a family that lives these words. Creating is essential for feeding the soul, ‘Dream, create, build and repeat.’ He says it much better than me, so have a look at his post. His words inspired this mini quilt as a reminder. The middle pattern is from the most recent #summersampler2020 block, Glimpse, and the fabrics are all @carriebloomston

Quilting finished and fresh out of the wash, #flyingmywayquilt designed by @amarar_creacions. Thankful for the opportunity to test this new pattern for Catalina. She always has wonderful designs and well thought out patterns. @amarar_creacions has a discount on this one for a few more days. I enjoyed quilting this one on my domestic machine and trying some new free motion ideas along with some echo quilting.
Fabric is by Carolyn Friedlander (front) and Janet Clare (back). I rarely use a non pieced back, but Janet’s fabric reminded me of flight pattern maps, and I just love it.

Taking a virtual holiday with this new origami paper airplane quilt by @amarar_creacions
I finished my version of #flyingmywayquilt this afternoon and put it out to fly in the breeze. It is always a delight to pattern test for Catalina, her patterns are precise, beautiful, and clever. She also writes each one in English, Spanish and Catalan, with 2 paper formats in English.
I used some favourite fabrics from @carolynfriedlander. I have been thinking of quilting ideas while piecing, looking forward to the next step.

@amarar_creacions has a new block out today to join in to the Quilt Block Mania blog hop. I was delighted to test her Origami Paper Plane pattern. @amarar_creacions has just released a quilt to go with this block which is amazing. I am working on it now and will share progress soon. Catalina has offered a special discount on the full pattern, see her site for details.
I used @carolynfriedlander fabrics for this block and in the full mini quilt (in progress). Her ledger fabric is one of my all time favourites and is perfect for paper airplanes, and just about everything else.

Equity in Education is the topic for the August block for #sjsabom
This block was designed by @benmillett who was inspired by Stephanie B, a SJSA youth activist/artist.
This block speaks about the desperate inequity in education for students of colour. 2nd photo explains more of the symbolism of the 6 lines and the 4 pencils.
The book Pushout by @monique.w.morris is a must read educators, parents, and everyone else. Eye-opening and wonderfully written!
