Choosing fabrics has to be the hardest part of quilting for me. Just deciding a colorway can take me hours if not days. 😂😂 For my Kinship quilt I asked my husband what colors I should use and he asked for a red, white, and blue quilt. I wasn’t sure at first, but I love all the fabrics I have pulled and it is all from my stash!!!! . I am hosting #100days100blocks2019 sew ins at Dabble and Stitch starting June 30. If you are in the area come join me. You can register on their website. . #100Days100Blocks2019 #fqsquiltalong #scrapbusting #scrappy #scrappyquilting #scrappyquilt #redwhiteandblue @gnomeangel @fatquartershop #quiltsofinstagram #quilts #quilting #quilter #modernquilts #modernquilting #quiltersofinstagram #sewcialmedia

WARNING!!!!! This is an ironing board cover I purchased the end of January. Last week a friend and I were using lots of steam while ironing quilt blocks. The steam pulled the dye from the reverse side of the cover up and through to the top. Luckily we had a cloth down as well so no dye got on any fabric. The second photo shows the reverse side. The dots are from the ironing board, they are not part of the fabric design. This picture was taken after I washed and dried the cover. Upon further investigation I discovered there are complaints on Amazon that are 3 YEARS old documenting this defect. I reached out to the company and have been told they are unaware of this issue, this is the first they have heard of it. They offered a replacement. I declined and requested a refund. They have refused. Again, this is the Whitmor reversible ironing board cover. I purchased from Target where it is still available (on clearance now) and on Amazon. Feel free to share my post to other quilters, garment makers, anyone who works with fabrics and irons. #quilt #quilts #quilters #quiltsofinstagram #modernquilt #modernquilters #quiltcon #quiltmarket

Woohoo!!!! A Sashiko Still Life will be appearing in Grand Rapids. I’m so thrilled that this quilt is making it around into shows across the country. So many hard working hours was spent creating this piece, and I just want to share it with everyone!!! @aqsonline #aqsgrandrapids #aqsgrandrapids2019 #sashiko #sashikoembroidery #sashikostitch #sashikostitching #handsewing #handquilting #hobbsbatting #hobbsinside #ilovehobbs #aurifil #aurifilthread

Not only am I going to the party with @gnomeangel and @fatquartershop I am bringing the party LIVE to Columbus, Ohio. Stay tuned, ‘cause we are going to have sew nights at @dabbleandstitch where you can catch up blocks, get help if needed, and photograph your blocks for Instagram. Planning has just started, and if there is something specific you want to see let me know! Hope to see you there! #100days100blocks2019

Trying my hand (pun intended) with some boro. I’m loving it so far. If this works out, look for a new class this fall at @dabbleandstitch The fabrics are scraps from two bundles I purchased at #quiltmarket And the thread is 12 weight from a Sashiko Aurifil box I got there also. #Sashiko #sashikoembroidery #sashikostitch #sashikostitching #handsewing #handquilting #aurifil #aurifilthread
