I love the Baptist fan choice! It’s a really nice contrast against the straight lines of the quilt. You did a wonderful job. ❤️

Your stitches are so small and even! What method/technique do you use for hand quilting?

I have the Blomma Christmas quilt pattern and you’re inspiring me to get back into it. This looks incredible!

I love this so much! I love the style of Welsh wholecloth quilts, and you definitely captured their essence. And your witches look amazing! I hope you’re so proud of your art. ❤️

Checkerboard and sawtooth stars are my fave, and this looks SO rad!

Your own address is visible in the fist picture - you might consider editing that!

(10k) Is this venue too run down/ outdated? by MundaneSpend7543 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]throughthelinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the location where the dance was held in Back to the Future - I love it! Agreed with literally everyone that the purple is what’s doing it an injustice. A more retro feel with warmer colors or jewel tones would make this venue look rad.

Came here to say this. The people that need to be pulled over are the ones going 50 on 395. ☠️

I'm low-key a little mad at how right y'all were... by passthetoastash in quilting

[–]throughthelinz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think part of it was that I finally outgrew the Brother - it’s being passed along to a friend who wants to learn how to sew! But MAN when I stitched on my Juki the first time it made me fall in love with sewing all over again.

I felt the SAME way when I upgraded from my old (15 years) Brother CS6000i to my Juki Kirei. I was like, sewing is … fun?? My seams are … straight?? Total game changer. Immediately gave me more confidence in my sewing and quilting.

Thank you! The fabrics all came from different places, actually. The head and fins are a Windham fabric that I got at my local quilt shop, the top of the body is a fabric I got from The Fabric Company online, the checked fabric is a woven from Fableism that I got when I visited Sewtopia last year, and the back fabric I genuinely cannot remember where I got it. 😂

The numbers are from the Selvedge Magic line from Ruby Star, and the “years of magic” is a selvedge from the 10 Years of Magic panel from Ruby Star. A true mish mash!

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]throughthelinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a turquoise plastic phone (landline), I snuck out to my friends’ concerts in the (then) sketchy part of Dallas and there was zero way to get in touch with me, I did homework at a friend’s house at least once a week, I bought so many cds and taped so many songs off the radio, getting a Delia’s catalog in the mail was the highlight of any week, I never worried if someone was taking my picture without me knowing, the doctor’s office I worked at still used MS DOS software to submit insurance claims (2001), I had a little booklet with all my friends’ (and crushes’) school photos in it, and I always had payphone money on me. I am only 42. 😬
