We lit ornaments on fire tonight.

My proudest finish is normally the most recent one😁. This quilt, Evolution, started with a question. What if? I’ve been playing with color and I wanted to know what if I had blocks that ranged from the lightest to the darkest values. So I made 100 stripes blocks of 1/4” and 1/2” strips. Then I needed something to do with the blocks. Slowly they evolved into this quilt. The picture isn’t that great since the weather was bad yesterday, but it is done and submitted to Quiltcon. (All those curves were created using @colorgirlquilts classic curves ruler) And, of course, my absolute proudest finish is A Sashiko Still Life that I finished one year ago. Over 200 hours of hand stitching went into this quilt and I adore it. In February it will be heading to Daytona for the AQS show and then most likely it will hang on a wall in my home. #Quiltsofinstagram #quilts #quilting #quilter #modernquilts #modernquilting #quiltersofinstagram #sewcialmedia #sashiko #sashikoembroidery #sashikostitch #sashikostitching #handsewing #handquilting #hobbsbatting #hobbsinside #ilovehobbs @colorgirlquilts #mycreative2019 #quiltcon #quiltcon2020 #aqsdaytonabeach #aqsdaytona2019

Where I create is right behind that window. For now. There is hope that my teen son and I will switch after the holidays. He’s been using the finished basement as a bedroom. He agrees to switch with me only if he is allowed to bring the tv and Xbox with him. 😆. I think it’s worth it. I don’t keep a neat and tidy showroom. My studio is a mess, an absolute disaster area. But it works for me. If I do get to move to the basement, I’ll have much more storage with all the built-ins. Or, more likely, I will have more doors to shove and hide things behind 😂😂🤫🤫🤫 . . #Quiltsofinstagram #quilts #quilting #quilter #modernquilts #modernquilting #quiltersofinstagram #sewcialmedia #mycreative2019 @colorgirlquilts

#mycreative2019 I Quilt!!! This was just photographed a few hours ago. I will be submitting it to #quiltcon later today. Its called Jungle Love 😆 If you follow me you know I also do a lot of Sashiko work. Both quilting and Sashiko give me so much joy. I’m sure I’ll be posting some of my Sashiko work with @colorgirlquilts my creative hashtag this month. #Quiltsofinstagram #quilts #quilting #quilter #modernquilts #modernquilting #quiltersofinstagram #sewcialmedia #quiltcon2020
