A completed stitch goddess and a WIP
I think this Stitch Goddess wants tentacles. My hand-spun thread in the foreground.
A fun workshop on the #quiltynook with @mirjamtextiles, yesterday.
#StitchGoddess embroidered with both commercial and my #handspun thread/yarn on some #icedyed cotton fabric.
Sharing some recent finishes - this one was made during the #quiltynook quilt race recently hosted by the lovely @zakfoster.bsky.social
It features hand embroidery, hand quilting and bound by hand too.
Finished banner, all raw edged appliqué with thrifted fabric. I only kind of regret the red, because I love it.

Started banner while in the #quiltynook skill share this afternoon. It will read: All Flourishing is Mutual, which is a quote from Robin Wall Kimmerer

I’ve always enjoyed painting and drawing human faces.

Meditative vacation stitching. On a vintage linen, indigo dyed at the Nook Huddle.

Then, on our second flight, I used my tea bag to dye the fabric. We will see where it goes. It’s going to be an adventure.

As promised, the back of the fish quilt. Featuring an indigo dyed piece I did at the huddle, print experiments from figuring out what to do on the front of the quilt, and a pieced block by my friend Melissa.

I came very close to finishing the quilting on this, but not quite.
This quilt is dedicated to my dad, who has loved to fish since he was 3. I’ll show you the back in my next post because it’s pretty great too.

My name tag for the Huddle quilt retreat, for which I was generously given a scholarship by a cohort friend @zakfoster.bsky.social #quiltynook #nookhuddle
Recently thrifted clothes turned into fabrics for quilting. Three deconstructed during an event on the Quilty nook. Two have been used in recent projects if you scroll back.
Doing this sort of thing needs a good hashtag so I can find the others.

My cohort on the Quilty nook are doing prompts on quilts and then sending them to the next person. Here is a terrible low light pic of my most recent.

Joined in the Strings Attached workshop on The Quilty Nook this week and I’m excited about the direction this is headed in. @zakfoster.bsky.social @ssparrowinflight.bsky.social thanks for hosting and Maura Ambrose for teaching! #lemoynestar #quiltynook #thriftedquiltsupplies
Work and play. Play and work.

Quilting my destroy this quilt! I have no idea what I’m doing, but am slowly coming up with a plan. #quiltynook #artquilt #wholeclothquilt #destroythisquilt #mixedmedia #slowstitching #handquilting
My magical landscape Destroy this Quilt is all ready to be quilted. The thread should come tomorrow. #quiltynook #wholeclothquilt #artquilt #quiltart #mixedmedia #applique #destroythisquilt
I’ve been enjoying the small community over at Quilty Nook with @zakfoster.bsky.social and I’m really looking forward to this zoom class with Valerie Goodwin end of the month. Reviewing her book and gathering supplies! #quiltsky #quiltynook
I like the red chicken scratch and I think I recognize some red blowing in the wind 😀. It's all beautiful! #quiltynook #dtq
Hooray! @zakfoster.bsky.social of The #QuiltyNook is now on Blue Sky
More green scrap fabric sewn together, sliced into 11.5” strips and wrapped around a magazine board=4.5 yds of Phoenix fabric

What is “Phoenix fabric?” It’s the scraps I pulled from my trash and started sewing together by color to make *new* fabric about 12 years ago.
