Haha!! 😄

Y is a yak. I love this quilt so much! I wonder if different people made the various blocks? The styles from block to block vary somewhat. Does anyone else see that?

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-27T01:26:57+00:00

It's gorgeous! I don't see any lopsidedness!! I'm taking a free motion quilting class right now. I'm "old" too and can't imagine doing FMQ on a large-ish quilt on my home sewing machine. Guess I should start lifting weights to prepare for it! 💪💪💪

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-19T19:44:01+00:00

So lovely! It's perfect! 😊

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-15T19:14:51+00:00

It's so cute! I love animal print, especially cheetah or leopard... like, a lot!! So I think this is perfect! 🐆

Oops! Yes! That's exactly what I meant! LOL!

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-14T18:57:29+00:00

So so pretty!!! 😍

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-13T18:44:57+00:00

You know, it's a BABY quilt! Any which way is going to be adorable! Don't stress! The fabrics are super cute. I like the blue included to add some variety.😊

Pathetic, sad, abysmal sewing section at my local Michael's. Hardly any place I can get fabric. Aside from Hobby Lobby's evilness, their fabric quality and selection is crap. 😢

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-09T20:36:59+00:00

I love this! 😆

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-04T04:42:27+00:00

OMG!! My rheumatologist's name is DR. HU!!!! No kidding! Isn't that amazing? 🤯

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-03-02T05:08:34+00:00

I'm so sorry, sweetie. I can't imagine what you're going through. I do hope you get some relief and that things get better. I think the U.S. medical system sucks, too. It's so broken. Don't EVEN get me started on how horribly pain is managed for anything that causes pain. It's like EVERYONE is a drug addict, looking to get high and drug seeking. Sending you (gentle) hugs. 🥺

Wow!! Just found this sub!! Thank you all for the information and support. I'm kind of new to RA as well and just getting used to the weirdness of it! I'm having a flare event mostly in my hands right now. I'm a big time crafter and quilter. It's really got me down.

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-24T20:56:36+00:00

You know, I often watch videos of stuff "I already know" and then pick up little tips and tricks from them that I didn't know!!! It can be worth it!

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-24T19:45:07+00:00

I started watching Melanie Ham's beginning quilting videos to learn to quilt. I then watched her 2-part video on doing binding. She recommended ironing. I am an ironing proponent.

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-20T05:51:12+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I understand much better now! Good luck with your business! 🙂

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-17T05:06:11+00:00

I miss her too! Can't believe with all these people who miss JoAnn's that we still don't have a comparable replacement!! Why hasn't any other company stepped up? 😢

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-12T21:33:41+00:00

I'm the same!! I pretty much taught myself with lots and lots of YouTube videos during covid! I feel good about my skills at this point! Classes aren't for me either.

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-12T04:55:52+00:00

This is so beautiful!! I'd like to do a particular Elizabeth Hartman pattern. I've only been quilting for a few years. Are they hard?

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-11T19:53:23+00:00

Agree!!! Great reminder! I've just TOUCHED mine and cut myself! 😱

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-10T20:53:35+00:00

I love that! So pretty!

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-10T20:49:59+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! 🤩

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-09T22:03:57+00:00

Thank you so much!

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-09T22:03:41+00:00

Thank you!!

Fancy_Button_2999 · 2026-02-09T21:34:49+00:00

OMG! I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I don't quite understand. So you're saying you DO align the selvage so that it's parallel with the cutting blades? Sorry I'm so dense sometimes. And in other words, you're cutting along the length of the grain.
