Sooooo last year I did a thing. Mostly because I was proving a point that I can make decisions on my own. Because I’m an adult!! In reality, I suck at making decisions. At least when it comes to things for myself. There’s always so much guilt and back and forth and “I shouldn’t. I’m going to. I can’t. Ok I’m going to do it!” And that’s how Sofee became part of the family. 🤣🤣🤣 I had instant second thoughts that included “What the hello kitty was I thinking??” & “I should not be allowed to make grown up decisions on my own.” & “Now I have to potty train this cute little creature...ughhhhh.”

Fast forward six months and she’s totally captured my heart. She’s my sweet cuddle bunny and my fearless girl. She launches herself off furniture and the stairs. And gets herself wedged under furniture. 😱😱

She hates falling asleep and missing anything so her little head bobbles until she can’t take it anymore and she finally passes out. Those who know me best know I never wanted a dog. Now I can’t imagine life without them. ❤️❤️❤️ Also I love watching Shark Tank as you can tell. 🤣

Why hello Mr Elephant! I would really really love

Why hello Mr Elephant! I would really really love to keep this one but I think Emily might hunt me down and beat me up. 😂😂 Her appliqué and fabric choices are impeccable. She picked out Coil for the quilt design and I think it’s perfect for this elephant! We did double batting so the quilting really pops and adds so much great texture. 💕💕 Make sure to scroll so you can see more pics and a video. Also I added some close up pics of the beautiful stitches that Mr. Heckles always delivers! I couldn’t live without my INNOVA longarms. Seriously. If you want the best longarm on the market I can make that happen! Come by the shop and let me show you why our machines are far superior to all the other brands. 😉😉

Nothing new going on around here....I’m still working on this beautiful beast. So here’s a short video of what I’m up to today. I’m still hopeful that I might finish today. 😅😅

4,567,254...the number of hours I’ve worked on this quilt. Ok maybe not but it sure feels like it. 🤣🤣 I think I only have 2,478,736 hours left. Or maybe 12,468,366 stitches left? 😱 Either way it’s gonna be awhile but I’m getting closer and closer. 🕺🏼🕺🏼

I finished this Cadence Quilt for Christine @thederpyquilter awhile ago but never shared pics. I thought I’d share it today since I haven’t finished the ice dyed beast yet. 🤣🤣 The pattern is by @sassafraslane I think Christine’s version is my absolute fave! Lots of ruler work + freehand quilting on this one. We used double batting to really pop the quilting. 😍😍

Oh hi there! Look at me posting 2 days in a row. Does that qualify as a streak? 🤔🤣 Maybe the world’s shortest streak?

I finished the mandala yesterday and started the graffiti quilting. I wish I could fast forward to being finished because I’m dying to see the finished quilt. Maybe I should work on having more patience. 🤪 Claudia’s favorite color is red so all of the graffiti quilting will be done in red thread. That’s a bold statement to make but I think it’s working out well. Make sure to swipe to see all the variations in the quilting. For what it’s worth, this type of quilting doesn’t come naturally to me. I really have to force my brain to switch up the designs. And when I don’t think fast enough swirls start cropping up. 😂😂 I will share the whole quilt...eventually....if I ever finish it.

Well hello IG world. It’s been awhile. I hope you’re all doing well. I’m doing ok I simply needed a break from social platforms to recharge. It’s kinda sad that it took me a minute to figure out how to post on here. 🤣🤣

Here’s what I’m working on this week. This is a huge ice dyed piece of fabric that my friend Claudia made. She asked me to capture some of the dye designs in the quilting so that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m not gonna lie...this one scared me. I’ve never done a mandala type whole-cloth quilt. 🤪 I knew I needed to start in the middle which is a challenge all it’s own. So when I loaded the quilt I basted the entire thing with horizontal lines spaced about 4” apart. That worked well for this 95”x103” beast. I was able to start in the middle and work my way around the mandala. I’ve done 3 rounds so far and getting ready to start the 4th. I think this will be the last round of the mandala because after this the dye gets pretty random. I’ll finish it off with some graffiti quilting.

Tackling this project has been quite fun. I was super nervous to do my first mandala quilting on a gigantic beast but it’s working out rather well. Maybe I shouldn’t jinx myself...🤪🤪

This was a fun one to quilt. I used light blue thread on the whole quilt and it worked out perfectly. 🥰😁🥰

Some quilts just turn out perfect. This is one of those quilts. I quilted this adorable Bird Song quilt for @sworleybird, pattern by @sewkindofwonderful. We used @quiltersdream batting and doubled it up with a layer of cotton and a layer of wool. The double batting really makes the quilting pop. Seriously, I want to keep this one. 😉😆

Isn’t this quilt adorable?? This one is pieced and quilted by @ginnymateen! I absolutely love her fabric choices, so bright and cheerful! She used Mr Heckles, our 26” INNOVA longarm with autopilot, to quilt it. I’m so proud of her and happy to announce that she’s our wonderful employee. Be sure to say hi when you stop by the shop to drop off your quilts!
