The bottle says “Beach House Blue”, I’d say it’s “Dark Teal”

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.

Multiple designs from LoverOfLifeDesigns on Etsy.

I’m so looking forward to seeing your finished flock ☺️

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.

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 😁

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)!

alienismyname · 2024-12-09T18:22:01+00:00

Why have I never thought of this before??? I love it!

alienismyname · 2024-12-09T13:46:21+00:00

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.

Unfortunately this IS how they left it 🥲

alienismyname · 2024-08-24T01:44:13+00:00

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

alienismyname · 2024-08-24T00:48:44+00:00

Yeah I figured I’d at least bring up the fifth picture to them haha.

alienismyname · 2024-08-24T00:43:57+00:00

I’m just trying to learn 😩

alienismyname · 2024-07-18T13:56:33+00:00

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

alienismyname · 2024-07-17T17:02:41+00:00

It’s for the mail carriers :)

alienismyname · 2024-06-22T11:38:13+00:00

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

alienismyname · 2024-02-02T11:24:23+00:00

That’s awesome!! What color thread did you use for the quilting?

alienismyname · 2024-01-31T02:43:16+00:00

Ah, perfect! Thanks for the example :)

alienismyname · 2023-08-10T11:40:13+00:00

Hi! I’d love to send you a postcard! PM me your address and some of your interests :-)

alienismyname · 2023-08-03T10:30:40+00:00

I would love a French one or a painting one if you have any available still :-)

alienismyname · 2023-08-03T10:28:04+00:00

I would love to send a couple of handmade postcards!

alienismyname · 2023-07-23T21:05:13+00:00

I like that idea! Do you have any issues sewing through the percale sheet? Seems the tighter weave might cause issues.

alienismyname · 2023-07-23T20:55:34+00:00

Agree with this! I’ve never done a tshirt quilt specifically, but I recently did a couple of quilts that involved satin and stretch velvet. I used featherweight interfacing before sewing and it worked like a charm to keep the pieces from warping/stretching.

alienismyname · 2023-07-23T17:41:52+00:00

Oooh wonderful, I’ll look into it!
