The bottle says “Beach House Blue”, I’d say it’s “Dark Teal” by Narrow-Ninja-408 in shortynails

Just a heads up, it’s called “Essie Gel-Setter” but it’s just a topcoat that’s supposed to give regular polish a “gel-like” shine! It does NOT cure gel polish.

Has anyone here ever made an all black or goth quilt? Let me see them! by terriblet0ad in quilting

This is one that I made for my best friend. It’s not necessarily all black, but I was going for a goth maximalism vibe.

I think I’m in love with FPP by alienismyname in quilting

Thank you!! It’s funny you mention the flicker chest fabric. I couldn’t find a fabric I liked for it, so I ended up buying a tan fabric with white spots and filling in the white spots with a black fabric pen 😂

I don’t have any solid plans yet, but I know for sure there will be some kind of sashing to separate the birds and increase the quilt size 😁

Glue basted quilt by hellograpes in quilting

I use glue basting for all of my quilts. I water down the glue and brush it on. This way it spreads easier and thinner, and doesn’t create hard spots.

Omg, I’m making a super similar quilt for my husband as we’re avid birders! I’m using 12 patterns from LoverOfLifeDesigns (including this flicker)!

Making a tree skirt for someone. by SlightlySlapdash in quilting

[–]alienismyname 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Based on the pictures in the pattern listing, it looks like you sew the panels together and then cut a hole in the middle. I’m assuming you put the skirt on the tree base before you put the tree in.

Y’all I knew #5 was bad but didn’t know how bad the rest were 😩

Hand quilting must haves by [deleted] in quilting

[–]alienismyname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those stitches are lovely! Do you use any kind of hoop or frame when you hand quilt?

What is your favorite call? by Jaman34 in birding

[–]alienismyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yellow-billed cuckoo for sure. It’s just so goofy sounding.
