Stitches = mark-making = texture. Just finished this small piece of textile art.

Improv quilt - all the blocks so far as arranged by the 11 yo because it’s basically a big felt board.

More blocks for the improv quilt! I’m way more productive with the little design wall I made a few weeks back.

I continue revisiting older works, like this textile collage from 2020 — hoping to reconnect with it soon and build on it for new pieces.

Some Sunday checkerboards for my improv quilt. Ironed a few other I had already done also.
Small brown flowers was once on a folding screen my mom bought at a garage sale when I was a kid.

These sewn collages are from 2021. I have so many unfinished pieces waiting to be completed…

Improv play with scraps on the new to me sewing machine. I also wanted to see if the tiny bit of stretch in some pants I deconstructed made much difference while piecing. It did not - center of the lower left block.

Tshirt quilt blocks lay on my studio floor. They aren’t all sewn together just yet. There’s an orange peel improv in the center, surrounded by some flying geese and tumblers.
Do you ever just stare at your blocks and disassociate for a bit? 🧶 #quiltsky #improvquilting #tshirt

An English Cream golden retriever lays on the bamboo floor looking pretty. Behind her are many colorful quilt blocks stuck to the wall, each block spells “fuck” in unique improv letters.
An orange cat with a majestic tail lounges on a teal pillow and white chair, looking straight at the camera with an “I dare you” look in his face. Behind him is the wall of colorful quilt blocks that spell “fuck” over and over again.
A full view of the quilt wall with 46 fuck blocks and one WTF blocks for a total of 47 words. They need to be connected, next.
My wall of fucks is filling up. Willow and Finn approve. #improvquilting #quiltsky #ragequilting

A collage of two pictures. The one on the left is a portion of a T-shirt quilt I’m working on. The colors are teals, purples, grays black, white, and hi viz strips with neon yellow peeking too. The picture on the right is the famous Jazz Solo cup design.
Jazz Solo vibes going on in my studio 🧶 #tshirt #quiltsky #improvquilting

A finished watercolor painting sits on a white desk surrounded by watercolor tools. The painting is a version of an improv quilt I made out of t-shirts, riffing on the classic Orange Peels quilt block. The colors include neon purple, metallic blue, charcoal gray and a mix of the three with salt added to give it the tie-dye pattern of the original quilt.
Should be sewing, but felt compelled to paint a version of my Orange Peels improv 🧶 #quiltsky #improvquilting #watercolor

My completed game card for the Patchwork Doodle game.
The front of the Patchwork Doodle game box.
My family just played an awesome quilt-themed game that my husband found at the secondhand booth at Gen Con…It’s called Patchwork Doodle and I might just make the quilt that I designed during the game 😆 I tried to use the patterns I’ve learned from my #improvquilting workshops! 🧶

A grumpy tabby cat sits on a chair back in front of a quilt design wall. The quilt is a bunch of very colorful four-letter words. Yes, those words.
A picture of the entire quilt wall, almost full of 4 letter words.
A closeup of the words.
The cat has made the pile of fabric on the worktop into her fluffy colorful bed. She’s not sharing, the fabric is now hers.
I don’t think I’m going to fit 100 of them in the quilt after all. I’ll be lucky to get 50 in there. #ragequilting #improvquilting

Unsewn quilt blocks lay on my studio floor as I try out design options. The blocks are made of t-shirts and there are rolled up uncut t-shirts in the mix. The blocks are all improvs on the classic Spider’s Web quilt block.
It’s World Quilting Day! Learning this craft has altered my creative process forever. Can’t wait to see where it leads me! 🧶 #quiltsky #improvquilting #tshirtquilt

Four quilt blocks lay together to form a traditional spider’s web formation. They aren’t sewn together yet. The colors include grays, purples, black, and strips of a hi-vis shirt with both the reflective part and neon yellow showing. There’s also one of the panels of strip piecing that was used for the web laying below the formation.
Sorry I’m not home right now, I’m walking into spiderwebs 🧶 #quiltsky #improvquilting #tshirt

Small improv quilt blocks in blue and lavender/pink with white inserts slowly fading from blue at the top to lavender at the bottom.
The design wall isn't big enough to put this whole quilt up. It's going to be 22 by 23 blocks but what's on the wall is about 17 by 18. Can't wait to start sewing it together after work! #improvquilting #quilt

Strip piecing lays out on a white surface. It’s all from cut up t-shirts. The colors are black, grays, purples, and the reflective parts of a hi vis work shirt that was my dad’s.
Finish one quilt, get moving on the next! Prepping #tshirt strip piecing for an #improvquilting workshop this weekend. Hard to tell, but there’s some reflective hi-vis bits in here that I’m real curious how it’s gonna twinkle once it’s done! 🧶 #quiltsky

A colorful quilt lies out across a table. It is a variety of improvisations on classic quilt blocks, the main one being Treetops. The quilt is in the process of being tied off to bind it with white wool yarn.
Closing in on the finish line! Trying out a quilt tying technique out of the @sherrilynnwood.bsky.social Improv Handbook and of course learning what I would do differently next time, but still enjoying the process #quiltsky #improvquilting 🧶
