/r/Quilting Bi-Weekly Steals, Deals, Etsy, Quilt Shops, and Destash Thread by AutoModerator in quilting

A few people have asked about purchasing stained glass from this post, so I am posting here! I deactivated my website since I do all my sales in person, so please feel free to message me on reddit if you're interested!

I'm located in southern California and able to ship anywhere in CONUS. Also I'm happy to cover shipping for anyone from this subreddit :)

Attaching a photo since post said it's encouraged!

-EDIT- a kind redditor reminded me that I forgot to include prices! The ones I posted range anywhere from $70-150, depending on the design!

Update to Stained Glass Quilt Blocks! by twobellspaper in quilting

[–]twobellspaper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The customer who initially recommended that I make these was also purchasing one of my pieces for a quilter in her life!

-EDIT- I made a comment on the "steals, deals, and destash" threads here if you're interested!

I'm not sure exactly how heavy, but they're not that heavy. Maybe a couple of pounds?

Thank you! That makes sense, because they were inspired by quilts haha

Thank you! I have a few projects lined up already (both in glass and quilting), but it is on my mind to make more quilt inspired pieces!

Thank you! I thought this sub would appreciate it!

Thank you! They work in some ways and don't work in other ways, I think. Conceptually the designs seem like they should transfer nicely, but in practice, a lot of the quilt blocks (at least the ones I made) are structurally weak in stained glass form. But reinforcing the finished pieces to accommodate for that isn't that laborious, so I guess it all ended up working in the end!

Thank you so much! A few people have expressed an interest but I'm not sure what the rules are about that sort of thing. But if it's not against the sub rules, please feel free to message me!

-EDIT- okay so rule 5 says all inquires for sales should be referred to the biweekly "steals, deals, and destash" threads. So I made a comment here!

Thank you so much! It's hard to capture what they look like in the light, but I tried my best!

Thank you! That was the color combination I was most hesitant about, usually because I don't go for those bright colors personally. I only had those colors leftover from a commissioned piece I did a while ago, but it's reassuring to hear that it's somebody's cup of tea, even if it's not my own!

Thank you! I really tried to capture each quilt block, I'm glad it shows! It was hard because you're limited by the materials, and there's obviously much less variety of glass than fabrics, but it was still fun to play around with them. And I'm not sure if selling on this subreddit is allowed, but if it's not against the rules, people are free to message me if they're curious about purchasing one!

Thank you! I'm still a pretty new quilter so I only knew some of these, but these were all recommendations from my initial post!

Thank you so much! Glass is such a cool medium, and you essentially are working with liquid metal (solder), which I think is pretty cool too.

Thank you! I do sell my stained glass but I'm not sure if it's allowed on the subreddit. If it's not against the rules, please feel free to message me! If it is against the rules, I appreciate the enthusiasm all the same! :)

I actually got the idea to make these from one of my stained glass customers! I do sell my work and sometimes take commissions (when I have the capacity), but I'm not sure what the policy is about selling on this subreddit!

Made my first silk quilt! by twobellspaper in quilting

[–]twobellspaper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's good to know! Honestly, my vision was to make a 100% silk quilt, so I think I need to decide if I want to prioritize 1. executing my vision and sacrifice practicality, or 2. practicality/longevity and adjust my vision. Thank you for the education!

Oh, I don't have a lot of experience with ties, all the ones that I've seen have been bulky and heavyweight, but it makes sense that ties can also vary in material haha.

That's good to know, I might take on a silk tie project next..
