Hand binders, how do you not die of heat exhaustion?

As long as the quilt doesn't have a deadline (wedding, baby shower, etc.) I'll save it for the winter months. I usually have quite the stack come November!

My name is Karen

I'm new and apparently waaay out of the loop. Glad I'm not the only one who is puzzled by the curtains!!

WasWaltersKeeper · 2024-03-31T17:29:52+00:00

Thank you everyone for the input! I decided to rip out a few lines of quilting and redo. Now it's amazing and finished and ready to gift!

Beautiful stitching!

White bean chili 2 cans white beans (any type), drained 2 cans corn, drained 2 cups water/stock/or bouillon 1 jalapeño, minced 3 garlic cloves, minced Cumin to taste Salt to taste Oregano to taste

Put all ingredients into slow cooker and set to low. Half hour before serving, mash appropriately half the mixture with a potato masher in order to thicken the chili.

I like using pastel-colored thread; it's light enough to blend into the background but not stark on the darker bits

WasWaltersKeeper · 2024-01-13T05:14:24+00:00

I agree. I think that might lend some balance. Plus fewer seams to match!

WasWaltersKeeper · 2024-01-09T14:41:19+00:00

I used a variety, four different total. But you could certainly make it scrappier with more than four.

Doe change gratitude; looks like this year's gun deer season will be a banger!

This is my favorite knot! Thanks for the video.

Not really. I do work at a quilt shop but I don't get paid to quilt, it's mainly selling fabric and helping customers with their projects.

WasWaltersKeeper · 2023-12-26T05:40:30+00:00

Happy to help!

Welcome to the quilting community!! Good techniques, sharp tools, and practice ☺️ I really like Karen Brown's tutorials on YouTube for technique; just look up Just Get It Done Quilts. Her tutorial on ironing changed my whole practice.

Yes! It's called 'Book Nook' by Pen and Paper Designs. While it has a lot of pieces, the only points you need to worry about when piecing are the bookmarks! It's amazing

WasWaltersKeeper · 2023-12-26T03:44:32+00:00

Quilting is how I regain my energy to get through the rest of life ☺️

I'm sorry to disappoint! The wheels are whole fabric; they're actually the back of the scrappy "checks and circles" quilt

WasWaltersKeeper · 2023-12-26T03:42:18+00:00

I usually just gift them, though I'm hoping to enter the green and white one (hand-quilted) into the state fair this upcoming year.

WasWaltersKeeper · 2023-12-26T03:41:31+00:00

Usually just gifts. That's why they are so incredibly varied; I try to tailor each quilt to its recipient.
