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!

@artcollisions @loren Here are my last 3 quilts for your consideration.

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

Yup.
@gannet You are so strong! I had completed the little gifts I've made for friends and thought, great! An early night 😴 I just popped into my sewing room for a second last night. An hour & a half later I had progressed in making a new bag for myself 😮‍💨 So much for an early night.
@Snowshadow I haven't been successful with hand quilting. I just stitched in the ditch for this one. I'm trying to improve my free motion quilting but have a long way to go 😟I'll get there one day ☺️
@Snowshadow Thanks! It went together nicely. The hexagonal are just a square with each corner snowballed. An effective technique to make difficult shapes easily.
@jeff Thanks. Early Spring sunlight gives the colours a chance to glow 😊
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.
