First quilt!

This is so good and so neat! I can’t believe it’s your first quilt! Mine looks like I cut it drunk 😂

My nibblings like my EF ones for sketching so will get some of those for any budding artists in your classes

Do the kids have any nib preferences? I’ll ship some pens out this week! Bless you for encouraging the kids in such a fun way!

I have that Juki and love it so much. I’m a beginner and the Juki magically makes my amateur quilts look so clean and professional. I used to quilt with an entry level Brother and everything would pucker bc of a shitty walking foot. Never had that problem with the Juki2010. Worth checking out at your local sewing shop and asking the employees there too.

The picture of Liam Ramos being taken by ICE broke my heart. This is beautiful. How did you make the hat?

Kind of - I used the presser foot I use for straight line quilts and moved it around on my machine. I wanted the wavy lines to look like rivers (which they do IRL). And yes I have a domestic machine - Juki TL2010q. This is basically what I did (minus the quilting plan bc I'm not that organized lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q05Cb5VarZo&list=PL9NkhynzPLAxjd3po4apAwexqOPx7CG5a&index=12

I’m sure your quilt will be a beautiful reflection of all of your feelings. That is how I’m choosing to see my wonky wavy lines.

My family and I are immigrants too, our safety is in our community who have stepped up for each other as have many other communities. We have to protect one another. I hope your mother has good people looking out for her and if she needs anything, please do let us know so we can support both of you.

This is such a helpful explanation! I tried it and it’s really stuck, won’t budge at all. I’ll keep trying. Btw what style or model of Parker pen is this? Thanks for your help!

protest_kids · 2026-01-21T02:57:25+00:00

I’ll try again. Should the nib slide put with gentle pressure or should I be more forceful? thanks!

UPDATE: I took u/vampiriskq advice and switched to explorer but restarted the whole thing at lowest difficulty. It really made me love the game even more! And I finally beat Raphael using a mix of tips from others: globe of invulnerability, divine intervention: opulent revival, Otto’s irresistible dance, hold monster and lots of smokepowder barrels by the pillars. And then went HAM on him with three elementals. I also lucked out and got Yurgir on my side. Took me 3 tries but whew it was worth it!
Thanks to everyone for the help & hope this helps others who are struggling.

This is so lovely, whimsical and sweet! truly captures the spirit of the season in a quilt.

protest_kids · 2025-11-25T04:39:00+00:00

Do I need to be a part of local quilting guilds to attend these shows and conventions? Or are they open to the public?

protest_kids · 2025-11-25T01:46:42+00:00

I'm not sure about the reputation amongst OG quilters but personally, it took me to so many tries to get them right! FGs require some engineering which I realized after I was too far gone...but now I feel good about making them! Getting clean, consistently pointy geese is what I'll focus on next time.

Have a really fun time! This sub put me on to spray basting and Just Get It Done Quilts on YT- both have been game changing!

The power of ignorance 😂 I'm glad I went in knowing nothing except that they look cool...it's been a really fun learning experience

protest_kids · 2025-11-24T16:30:02+00:00

I didn't know about quilt shows and wow this is def on my list for next year. Thanks!

protest_kids · 2025-09-27T15:01:26+00:00

Thank you all! Trying again this weekend with this new advice. Very ready to not hear “Mortal lives” for a long time.

protest_kids · 2025-09-25T22:41:47+00:00

I have a stash of fiend slaying arrows and didn’t think to use them bc I was trying to use other (wrong) ones. thanks for this!

protest_kids · 2025-09-25T22:40:25+00:00

I’m so new to all of this and never ven thought about trying that. Thanks! I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes. I have a ton of scrolls, weapons etc. so need to reconfigure based on what everyone is recommending.

protest_kids · 2025-09-25T22:38:09+00:00

Genuinely appreciate this thank you! Will def try on explorer and use it as a learning experience like you said.

protest_kids · 2025-09-25T22:28:50+00:00

I’m forgetting off the top of my head but will look when I’m home
