@BenitaSkinner I can't remember when my mom started teaching me to sew on her 1955 Singer 15-91, or whether she started teaching me before or after I started with Home Ec in 7th or 8th grade. And I seem to remember some sewing in Girl Scouts. But I've loved sewing for many many years!

I started quilting in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Before that, it was garment sewing, mostly SCA garb and SF/F costumes. Today, I have a lovely studio and lots of fabric to play with.

Some new-to-me Kenmores on the bench today. All metal. I'm told they're like Bernina, but without the pricetag. I'm excited to get them fixed up!

Right here's a 41 x 53 in (104 x 135 cm) #quilt made by my mom, done w/hand-dyed batik fabrics from Indonesia, & a #painting made by myself w/acrylics & graphite on wooden board -

Playing with fabric first began for me when I was 6 and given my first needle & spool of thread. 🙏🥰🪡🧵
My love for stitching fabric into a quilt began when I was 13 - this is my first quilt top, which I made my hand.

When did it begin for you?

Very interesting sculptural fiber art on display at the #Mississippi Museum of Art thru mid-June

“Quilt work embarks on a journey of discovery in the art of Coulter Fussell and returns a changed art form with deeper ties, greater resonance and more stories than traditional patterns can hold.”

Man this whole project is a whole lot of barely-but-yes. I gotta pray this doesn’t shrink much during quilting (or be kinda aggro about stretching it during the quilting process) but….barely still counts.

I haven't done much with "traditional" quilt blocks. I've used elements of them like half square triangles and flying geese. I just got this neat kit that is brand new from C&T.
It has cards that make up parts of 20 different designs. And then you can rotate parts or mix in cards from other designs for thousands of possibilities.
The booklet also provides cutting sizes and quantities for some standard size blocks for each of the cards.
