Back to the more urgent WIPs! These are blocks for my entry for the Quiltcon fabric challenge. The design was inspired by a photo of tiles. Handmade tiles often show subtle but beautiful variation on color, which I thought would be echoed in the way these shot cottons appear when viewed from different directions.

Piecing this quilt feels like a little puzzle in the best way possible! It's the #ottomanringsmini quilt pattern by Tighe @tigheflanagan. There are just 4 shapes of patchwork pieces, no blocks and many many partial seams.

Happy to announce that the top for the #dcmqg charity quilt is nearly complete! I got to hand this off today and now I need to work on an artist statement...

A little bit of decompression time with another scrappy 1.5 inch square #verdigriscautblock. This one will be back and white-ish.

In anticipation of tomorrow's guild meeting —and because I have nothing much new to share as I slowly quilt away on my current wip— here is a picture of the finished top using the double sliced triangle block I've been playing with lately.

Progress! This quilt is basted and I started quilting it. I'm a little nervous about using the black thread. It seems like the right choice for the overall feel but it'll show every little imperfection in the front and back...

October is quiltcon submission month. It's also conference season and I'm presenting (virtually) my research at two conferences, soo... I would really like to finish 3 quilts this month, including the one I had hoped to make progress on in September (and didn't work on at all). It's not going to happen. So I'll focus on this challenge quilt and try to finish one of the other two. Fingers crossed 🤞

Do you remember this one? I made this top in spring to test a small version on my "Naiad" quilt design. In full spring mood, I chose a lot of floral fabrics at the time. To stay true to this spirit, I really wanted to finish this quilt and take pictures in the forest before fall arrived and took all the illusion of summer that's left. It was a success , I think 😉

Quick scrap project for #scraptemberweek4 with @whipstitchhandmade is done: I made a long overdue potholder (we didn't have one!) from an orphan improv scrap block.

This project is making a return today. I'm sick with a cold, which always causes some joint pain, especially in the hands. For days like this, I like working on small EPP projects like this "Blooming Star" from @brimfieldawakening.

Halfway-done-with-quilting swirl!

This Vondel dress by @halfmoonatelier took a long slumber in my wip pile before getting finally finished a couple weeks ago.
