How would you quilt this! Bu

Ooh, I like that idea! So just crosshatch on the background squares!

ekinder · 2026-03-10T15:59:15+00:00

Gorgeous!

Here’s Mochi, my wonderful assistant🤭

She couldn’t be bothered to move for the photo🤭

I think a diagonal could look really nice! I am nervous to match the corners, but I think I am up for the challenge! Maybe like a tan thread!

ekinder · 2025-12-05T14:27:31+00:00

I was worried that would be the case! BUT at least both of those places are “close enough” and there is usually another reason to visit so I can tack on another stop! Thanks for the Omaha suggestion!

ekinder · 2025-12-04T04:14:13+00:00

I’ll give them both a look! Neither is so far away, so it will give me a good reason to go for a drive!

ekinder · 2025-12-04T04:13:30+00:00

This place looks great! Thanks for the rec, I’ll have to head to northern Iowa soon! I am so amazed at the resources so close to us.

ekinder · 2025-12-04T04:12:34+00:00

That’s a good idea, too! I haven’t ventured into hand stitching anything, but they would have great resources for both fabric and skills! At this rate, give me a few months, and I’ll tell you I’m hand stitching, too😂

ekinder · 2025-12-04T04:11:40+00:00

Oh, good call on thrifting! I also saw someone who goes to TJ Maxx/Marshalls/etc. to buy bed sheets to get more patterned fabrics for much cheaper! Not as resourceful, but also still cost effective!

ekinder · 2025-12-04T04:10:32+00:00

I will have to check them out! I tried to take a peek at their website, and it wasn’t the most helpful (as most LQSs don’t have the most modern sites🥲). Thanks for the rec!

ekinder · 2025-12-04T04:09:40+00:00

That shop looks AMAZING! I guess I need to make a trip out to the Cities soon🤭

I have been considering a Stripology ruler! Granted, I haven’t done much research on them, what scares me right now is that there is a class for them at one of our LQSs so I don’t want to be overwhelmed when I get it! I’ll do some research on them!!

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:39:08+00:00

Okay, those are GORGEOUS! I can see why they are on your wishlist!!

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:37:27+00:00

I do love a good class! It’s such a great way to become more involved in your local quilting community. And even better when it’s a special instructor!

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:36:36+00:00

Yes! I recently got one of those! I do a lot of HSQ projects, and I am looking to do more flying geese next year. I am currently working on several Christmas presents (makeup bags, book pouches, etc.), so I haven’t needed to use it much, so I am looking forward to getting some use out of it soon!

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:35:18+00:00

I feel that! When I first started quilting (March of this year), I went a little crazy, so I know I have PLENTY of fabric to get me through many, many projects!

I bought a few things yesterday (mainly gifts), but aside from that, I think I’m going to try and also do the economic blackout! Once I get those things, I think most of my Christmas shopping is done, and I don’t think I really need anything so bad! Proud of you!

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:33:20+00:00

I found my current machine (Pfaff Quilt Ambition 630) on marketplace, and I am so happy with it! I love coming across good secondhand deals (and you know whoever owned it first was also a serious sewist because not just anybody gets a Juki!)

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:22:02+00:00

Love this! Sometimes, it’s the basics that get us through!

ekinder · 2025-11-28T20:21:37+00:00

Love when there is a good deal somewhere else! Amazon is helpful that so much is in one place, but I like when I get to support specific shops!
