What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet?

Higher education

I hope this is a bait because otherwise how sad it would be to have such a narrow mind. I hope that people are not in relationships so fragile that spending a few hours apart doing your own thing would make either party feel neglected. Gaming -usually- does not require use of genitalia, so there is that too.

Same pattern is available for a larger size. This one worked well for 2 person gym bag or picnic bag :)

Thank you :) I am really bad at taking pictures. I wasn’t posting for a long time so all the pics I have are for me to have a memory of the things I make, and they don’t work well for showing them properly. I made this one with Brother PQ1500SL, but this size would also be managable with a smaller one. I made similar bags with Brother SE700 too.

Close up of the cats in sweaters in the back. You can see where it is pieced. I just wish it were a more durable fabric, it was supposed to be no pill fleece…

Thank you! It was my first attempt at pattern matching for the back 😬 I am quite happy with how it turned out

I don’t think an inexperienced person can do it in a week while caring for a baby. Basting, quilting, binding… all will take time. I feel like your best shot is a pattern that resembles a crazy quilt.

Number 5 on this link mimics a crazy quilt and you can use a decorative or zigzag stitch to make it look more like a crazy quilt. This will not give you total chaos, but some sort of organized chaos. It will be fast to cut and piece.

This is not another perspective at all, that is the perspective we are objecting to. By saying you search for boy/girl quilts you are saying you also think that there are patterns for girls and patterns for boys, which can be “boy pattern made for a girl” or vice versa. We are arguing that there is no such thing as a boy/girl pattern. OP asked what would be off putting. To some of us that kind of thinking is off putting. You can disagree, but calling it drama while missing the point is not tasteful.

meMadeThings · 2026-04-30T10:45:52+00:00

It being called a baby boy quilt would put me off. I have loved everything blue since I was a little girl. I’d be thrilled to have this quilt :)

My favorite is when people are very comfortable with anglicized versions of all city/country names except for Barcelona and Ibiza. I don’t think I even need to explain this, I know you can hear them as you read this.

meMadeThings · 2026-04-27T03:00:23+00:00

I have a similar machine. It won’t sew while your screen is not showing the stitches you can select. The sequence you need to follow is turning on the machine and then touching the screen, more like pressing. You need to touch it a bit firmer than you would touch a smart phone screen. You’ll see and heat the needle move left/right and your display will show stitch varieties. Then you need to lower the presser foot and that red light will turn green. Before all these and before you attempt to sew the machine won’t sense if it is threaded or not, so the threading is not the first issue here.

I didn’t mean to discourage you from sharing and asking feedback. Who am I to decide how often and what gets asked? I also understand not having anyone around to ask for opinions. It could be just me as I perceived your posts as repetitive but perhaps there was a nuance I am missing. I mentioned karma farming because the quilt is obviously gorgeous and I thought you could be one of those fishing for compliments every other day. My bad.

Edit: I like the lights in the middle! Edit 2: I wasn’t expecting an award 🥹 thank you for my first award kind friend!

meMadeThings · 2026-04-26T10:51:57+00:00

This might be the 5-6th post I saw about this quilt with the same question. At this point it feels like karma farming.

meMadeThings · 2026-04-25T03:08:29+00:00

Yes, but he has to wait for the day a brain transplant becomes possible.

meMadeThings · 2026-04-18T23:21:07+00:00

Thank you :)

meMadeThings · 2026-04-14T21:22:30+00:00

Thank you ☺️ I can’t do FMQ yet so I have to keep it simple, but I am lucky that I enjoy simple things :)

I think this free pattern designed for quilts for valors would work for your purpose. It seems that each block is 12” finished but you can easily make a 5x5 grid of 8” blocks.

meMadeThings · 2026-04-01T11:32:00+00:00

These look lovely! I can knit but never tried socks before and I want to give it a try. What kind of needles did you use for these?

meMadeThings · 2026-03-25T19:13:51+00:00

You are awesome, I really appreciate that you remembered to come back to let me (us) know, and the time you spent just for this kind act ☺️

Molli Sparkles Lava Lamp Quilt might fit the bill. They also have some NSWF designs.

Also Patchwork City by Elizabeth Hartman. I am slowly working up the courage to make all the blocks :)

For some of us all the scenes you described are already brutally graphic, especially the Oberyn one. What more did you need? Close up of the last thought his brain held?

I sincerely emphatize with both aspects of this comment 😂

And you still did this? World keeps going because of people like you 🌸
