I like to make quilts, and cook interesting food. I work with books every day and hide on social media at night.
New lenses in my eyes means I can see without glasses for the first time in 40+ years 🎇🪅

Inspired by @loren I'm putting on a quilt competition.

Rules are:
1. Make a quilt.
2. Show me a picture of said quilt.
3. Congrats! You just won.
4. Deadline: none. Let art live.

And don't forget the alt text so I can boost!

If you haven't smiled today yet, you probably need a two hours old hippo to make you do so.

Yup.
An assortment of pillows for people.
Much quicker to make than a big quilt, and a spot of colour and comfort for friends.
My Library displays a new quilt each month by local quilters. Last Christmas a similar quilt to this one was on display and my friend expressed a desire for just such a quilt. The background was easy, but getting cat shapes to conform and stitching them on was a nightmare. She was happy with the result but I'm in no hurry to make more cats.
I don't usually buy all the fabric needed for quilting, but the recipient was very clear about what she wanted, so off shopping I went. Much easier to get a cohesive design when all the fabrics match.
Fussy cutting is not really my thing, but it made a fun kid's quilt.
Best use of scraps so far. This little quilt ate up all my 2 inch squares 😁
Oh my. Just recovered this old account while trying to sign on to my usual account. Hello people 🖐️Expect a flood of quilt pictures to record my year's work.

I'm looking for folks that make their own #clothes that they #sew themselves. I'm looking for ideas in the style of hippy, flowy, fun. I would love to see what others have put together?

Maybe boost this post so I can find them?
