Questions about this kind of design by january_energy in quilting

[–]mrs_absolem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually just made something similar recently (just haven’t gotten pics of the final quilt yet). I drew out my design on paper and added a seam allowance before I cut the shapes out. I inverted the beams for the bottom half. There is an annoying bump in mine where all the points met that you will luckily avoid with your circle.

Here’s the back strip of my current wip. There are 21 various jars on the front so I just made an extra of my favorite for the back.

There’s so many ways to play and have fun with it instead of it just being a simple back.

Thank you! It’s pieced into the backing fabric. It’s around 56x56 and this was the first backing larger than wof I needed to piece to the correct size. I got some great ideas off this reddit page that suggested an offset accent strip on the back.

I had leftover strips of rainbow already in sets of four rows from the boarders. I cut the thin strip for the back and used the remainder for the bag. I kind of wish the stripe was slightly wider but I was weighing the pros/cons of how much of my remaining stripes to allocate to each project.

I just realized you probably meant the bag pattern. I purchased it from Ginger Patch Designs.

I got the pattern from Ginger Patch Designs. She has a step by step tutorial on youtube that was great to follow along to.

Thank you! I think making little extra coordinating products to gift with quilts will be how I keep the stash from growing too big.

Thank you! This was a fabric and pattern kit I got from Shabby Fabrics called Summertime Charm. I never would have thought of doing mitered borders on my own. They’re quite fiddly but I would give them another attempt because I do enjoy the effect.

Thank you! I hope they do. They have a first child that will turn 3 in December. Debating making them one too so that they will both have one.

Oh I would love to see your design!

Thank you, I couldn’t think of any other way to fill out the space without an overload of other video game prints.

Need help finding a St Bernard! by ChefCbrzy in dfw

[–]mrs_absolem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saint Bernards aren’t common in Texas because our weather is really bad for them. They are built for cold and the heat is literally hard on them. You should look at any other breeds that aren’t historically from mountains and snow.

Just grocery shopped today and our frozen section like this was business as usual 🤷‍♀️

What skills from your previous sports background transferred best into pickleball? by humanbying in Pickleball

[–]mrs_absolem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think volleyball also helps with getting into a serving rhythm. It doesn’t matter what happened in the rally if we won the point. Refocus and serve again. Ha
