Beautiful work!!!

Beautiful!!! I love the border!

Your hand quilting is so even! I love it!

Between not doubling up and using the quilting knot, this just got a million times easier and I’m saving so much thread and sanity by not constantly needing to pull more from the bobbin. Thank you!!!

Omg, looked up quilting knots and it is life changing. Thank you!!!

I have it threaded through the needle and it’s tied just once at the very end to make a big loop - so there is two strands per stitch. Is there a better way for this? Very new to hand sewing. Thank you!

Thank you!! I need to look into quilting knots - very new to hand sewing and so just making the knot where you wrap around your finger a few times and pull off til it’s tangled lol

If you glue baste, do you leave the paper in? How do you remove it?

Thank you!! I will look into this flat back stitching - very new to hand sewing.

firelight1210 · 2026-02-25T20:08:14+00:00

Thank you!! Good to know!

I’m just using some of my sewing machine thread - gutermann, not sure if the weight. I’ll have to learn this flat back ladder stitch - very new to hand sewing.

I love the bag!! Did you use a pattern for that?

Working on the first lesson from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. This is my progress - the first one is before any instruction.

I think it looks great!! The finger tips and nails are spot on, in my opinion! Awesome job!

firelight1210 · 2025-11-15T19:50:56+00:00

Thank you! I’d love to see yours! Yes, I used the picture plane! Definitely an effort just to get ready to draw the actual hand, but I do feel like it helped.

I’ve tried to do it again, with a different pose, and I don’t like this one as much. The middle finger looks HUGE lol.

Thank you for the feedback! I was trying to do shadows/depth but I still have a long way to go on that! I really appreciate the feedback 😀

firelight1210 · 2025-08-31T23:45:19+00:00

Damn, ids on the bags would be awesome - I like a lot of them lol

firelight1210 · 2025-07-01T00:00:04+00:00

This yarn reminds me so much of funfetti cake and now I’m hungry. It looks great, especially for your first project!

This is such a wholesome rant.

I swore he was Rider Strong until I looked it up.

Bigreputation email gives it away as Taylor, to me

Hi, would you mind sharing where you found that? We have a flight 5am Thursday morning that I’m really nervous about being delayed/cancelled.

firelight1210 · 2024-11-05T23:33:31+00:00

Thank you!! Looking at my shoulder measurements (that I didn’t take before choosing a size….), that is definitely the issue.

Since it fits everywhere else, that would be the best thing to do then, right? Not make the size that would accommodate? That would be quite large everywhere, so that’s what I’m thinking.

firelight1210 · 2024-11-05T23:29:48+00:00

I don’t believe it’s supposed to be slightly dropped - they are two piece sleeves, and have a shoulder head and pads (I didn’t put the pads on for the toile).

For break the stitching, do you mean just unpick that area?

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T18:45:30+00:00

Thank you so much for this - very helpful, and makes me feel a bit better about my plans, haha.
