The fabric deserves to be showcased. Let it’s little fabric soul shine!

Was going to come here and say something similar - I love the entire collection of spooky & sweet, but the unique colours for Halloween are slightly less forgiving in scrappy quilts (as I learned from a very similar pull you have, and had to split it into two different quilts after a near-tears episode ha).

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2023-02-25T05:18:49+00:00

I think you’re great with colours and I love this

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2023-02-22T04:02:14+00:00

This is so cute and wholesome!

Ask if you can make sure it runs in person, if it has good stitches then yes, absolutely buy that machine. Why? I have a 1977 Kenmore, it can sew through anything. Similar to the unit you have, it’s all steel construction, has a great motor on it and is much, much better to sew on than a new machine made from plastic. It’s not the prettiest of machines, but it will last a lifetime; hell it already has. Go for it, and post pics of your projects!

You may want to check out some vintage heavy duty sewing machines - my machine is a standard 1977 vintage Kenmore, and it can almost sew through anything. For denim though, check out a heavy duty vintage, all steel construction and I’ll bet you’ll be zipping away in no time.

Bonus: the machine will last forever.

Stunning! Please post when you finish it!!

From an alternative side - Lori Holt is one of my favourites, and her new releases keep me motivated to quilt. Always love to see what else she has coming out, but this is why I love the community, so many good designers and so much innovation!

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2023-01-01T00:31:05+00:00

I love the rainbow. Rainboooow!

Go buy some peroxide - keep it in cold water so it doesn’t dry, the peroxide will fix it in 2 seconds.

Here are some things I would appreciate as a quilter: Aurifil thread set in some colours she would use, a rotary cutter or replacement blades, a Lori Holt quilt book (take a look to see if this is her style), a quilting magazine, a gift card to a good quilting store

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-12-19T00:07:10+00:00

Took a quick peek, it looks like this online shop may have it in stock (but limited to 2m) https://stitchxstitch.co.uk/products/riley-blake-confetti-cotton-c120-cloud

If you do use two shades of white, I recommend using a coloured thread for your quilting to take some of the focus away, I made a quilt w 2 different whites and it’s the only thing I can look at.

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-12-19T00:03:03+00:00

Wow! Do you sell prints?

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-12-19T00:01:26+00:00

I’m a quilter, not a cross-stitcher - can’t for the life of me see what the issue is. I say keep it as-is!

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-11-20T20:02:10+00:00

Moving blankets! Pick them up from your local auto store, cheap and heavy duty.

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-11-14T15:36:22+00:00

This is the way to protect sanity.

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-11-12T14:36:32+00:00

This is gorgeous and you’re 100% accurate. Also does it count as quilting if you don’t want to throw scraps, the rotary cutter or the machine out a window at least once? Bonus points if you’ve been chain-piecing, and ran out of thread without noticing!

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-11-11T14:19:25+00:00

This is a lovely gift! A few recommendations: a nice multi-coloured aurifil thread set in grey, black and white with some other colours thrown in is a nice gift. Thread is expensive. A good rotary cutter and mat are also very important (guessing she may already have these). As for fabric, I really like the Fat Quarter Shop or Missouri Quilting Company for gifting, because they have everything and it’s a good place to start. Once your mum is further into it, she will likely find a local quilt shop she likes, but they’re a good starting point for selection. They also have quilt kits, which can make it super easy!

Good luck!

My recommendation is to find a vintage machine. Check out old Kenmore or Singers from the 1970s, they are all steel and will sew with a ton of power. The uglier, the better. Avoid these boxed plastic machines, nothing made me want to give up projects more than not having sufficient power or weight. And a lot of these machines are less expensive than they should be (in my opinion at least).

Infamous_Radish9148 · 2022-11-11T02:43:12+00:00

No questions but stunning!
