RIP Joann Fabrics, the big box store we all knew was bad for our local stores but still didn't want to suffer a venture capitalist death
Anyway! Back to #quilting and the #effikaAtomicStarburst project now that I have had a two-week break due to the oak pollen making me unable to look down without stuffing a kleenex up my nose & taking 2x my meds, and also sewing my husband a cape in 3 days (pics later)
I am in love with this quilt 😍
I’ve told my husband I’m leaving him so the quilt and I can get married
He said we had a nice run but he understands
It’s just the first block and the sections aren’t even sewn and the letter isn’t appliquéd down but I’m so excited because this is exactly the look I’m going for with my #InarticulateAbecedary quilt 🤩
There’s a tradition in my family that when you turn 13 your grandmother makes you a quilt. My grandmother died when I was 3, so I was very touched when my great-aunt (who I had only met a couple of times) made me a quilt when I turned 13.
My Mom never learned to quilt but I want to continue this tradition. I am honorary auntie to my dear late friend’s son so I made him a quilt when he turned 13, a few years ago, 🧵1/2

Behold! I finished something!
Machine pieced. Fully hand quilted. Hand bound. Colourful prints by Kaffe Fasset.
It's the first quilt in many years that I've fully hand quilted, and the first big(ish) one where I've hand quilted fun shapes. Learnt a lot from this.
Ever felt stuck on a quilting project? A place to ask, learn and connect is a game changer. That's the value of our quilting community. How do you connect with fellow quilters?
