Space Arcade {Quilting Plan}

I was able to get the Space Arcade quilt top pieced early this week, which meant I then spent time thinking about the quilting plan. To begin, I took a high resolution illustration of the quilt top into Procreate and started doodling out some ideas. A few notes about the exported timelapse from Procreate that is linked to below... I...

Sesen Bonus Quilt {Quilting Plan}

In early February, I finished piecing the Sesen bonus quilt top. I was not sure how I wanted to quilt it, and I had another project I wanted to complete for a friend, so the Sequenced quilt top got set aside for over a month. Over the weekend, I decided it was time to sit down and put some...

Planview {Quilting Plan}

I've made my mind up about how I plan to quilt my lava colorway baby size Planview quilt, and I'm excited to get this one finished up. The baby size version of Planview finishes at 40" x 48", which will be a fun size to quilt on my domestic Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini. Before putting a lot of thought into...

And I am still very much an advocate of pinning the batting to the backing around the edge of the...

Pulsar – Quilting Plan Doodling

Now that quilting is my "job", I've tried a lot of different time and organization strategies to see what works for me and keeps my creative juices flowing and my work/life in a reasonable alignment (what is balance anyway?). Right now, what's working for me is this rough schedule: Monday - Friday mornings: Technical Editing + life needs (laundry,...

Sky Full of Stars {Quilting}

I don't know about anyone else, but I was really busy at the end of July. I was really glad at the end of last week when I was able to take a deep breath, start working on writing up a pattern for Mum's Garden, and dive into quilting Sky Full of Stars. I took a quick photo of the...

Quilting the Cocoa Leaf Medallion Quilt

I have been posting my quilting progress on my Instagram account, and I want to get anyone who does not follow me there up to speed on the quilting fun I have been having. After an initial loading error (I loaded the quilt top upside down and had a moment of horror when I thought I had pieced the border upside...
