While binding this quilt, I just found a cut (probably from a rotary cutter)
I’m going to want to patch it. This is my all green quilt, so I’m thinking maybe an embroidered green crayon? That might be too big
This is so frustrating!
Since my joints are going to be this way for the foreseeable future (boo,) I'm going to try to switch (mostly) from hand sewing to machine sewing. What tips do folks have on using sewing machines? Generally, and also for quilting, or just anything you feel like typing out. I have intermittently swollen joints, hypermobility, dysautonomia, etc. I do generally have good motor control because I'm into so many crafts, including fabric and fiber arts. Thank you! #sewing #sewingMachine #quilting

I think I love the backside equally as much as the front...
That being said I can finally say THE QUILTING IS DONE!
I've been using construction tools for quilting, but now my quilting tools are being used for construction #quilting
Sneak peak at the back side of the final border.
The pattern was a suggestion by @Atalante and it works incredibly well. Helps that I have the perfectly matching top thread for the border, which you obviously can't see right now.

New quilt finish today. I call it "Bulls (Still) on Parade, or, Rage Against the Budget(s)."
Machine-pieced and quilted. More details in the next post. I've given it to my church since it's too big (feelings-wise, not logistics-wise) to hang at home, but I may borrow it on occasion. #quilting #QuiltsOfMastodon
Hello again quilstodon, I’m leap-frog inheriting some beautiful bedspreads that my grandma made many years ago, one of them has these white splotches on. Any ideas what kind of stain this is/what could be done? We think it looks a bit like water damage but don’t know. Thank you!
If I remember I’ll take a photo of the whole thing. It’s really lovely.

I went to the https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/
with my wife (who is the novice quilter, I know nothing).
It was amazing to see the artistry, detail and emotion in them.
There were a number of protest quilts I only photo's the one using retina scans as a motif.
I went to see an artist talk today with #GeesBend quilters Loretta Pettway and Louisiana Bendolph. I’ve adored their quilts for years and I feel affirmed by their presence in the art world—very laid back, no artist statements or artspeak, prioritizing fun and feeling good over technical perfection. Just very humbly making these amazing abstract expressionist quilts without even setting out to do so. #BlackArt #Americana #quilting

I made progress building The Orville New Horizon tapestry quilt. This is going to be lovely after I add some handquilting. I expect this to take three months at least to handquilt. I’m going to use off white thread so that the handquilting pops from the quilt. I will be adding some bugs called Luminites to the four corners. #quilting #handquilting #applique #TheOrville #TheOrvilleNewHorizon
The story behind this quilt from 2016 that I felt the need to repost today -
The Last #AllSummerLongArm Stitch Counter for 2025
I am starting to get excited for Finish-or-Frog-Along running in September / October (FKA #FallFinishAlong, renamed to be more hemisphere-inclusive). I plan to host as for the last two years and I hope the Fediverse is engaged as ever! Open to crafters and makers of all kinds - anyone with works in progress (WIPs) to finish or mindfully decide to kill. Stay tuned for more! #FinishOrFrogAlong #knitting #spinning #crochet #weaving #quilting #CrossStitch #FiberArts @knitting @fiberarts
