Generally sweaters are knitted or crocheted, Mike.

This was from 2017... Is he talking about Warm Bodies?

When Hozier sings, I take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at three, he means a 3pm nap right? Because that sounds great.

CGRT60 Find out what makes a Creative Gridsยฎ ruler stand out from all the other rulers.

Hello quiltsky! A shop mistakenly sent me a Creative Grids 8" 60ยฐ ruler, and have since told me to keep it. It's a great ruler and a great ruler company. Thing is, I already own one!
Anyone in the states want a triangle ruler?

The wildest quilt back I think I've ever decided to make #quiltsky

Another quick sewing project that is probably destined for Marcy's bed. This will be a project for Trendtex in a couple of months if you also want to make one. I got to use some long neglected scrap fabrics #quiltlife #quiltsky #quiltersgonnaquilt #scrapfabricproject

Why is this the default sample text for Google Fonts and has it always been this way?! ๐Ÿ‘€

I think she's seen that (is that the new one?) and also of course Bluey, but Paw Patrol has such a hold on her right now ๐Ÿ™„

It's actually a remake and improvement on one I wrote 10 years ago for a Moda designer - it's called Flower Mill. I think I'm gonna add a border too

My daughter is into Paw Patrol right now and the gender imbalance is driving me crazy. Only 2 out of 6(?) dogs are female and then almost all the human characters are male too.

When I write up the pattern I'm going to go templates/Tri-Tecs ruler, HuRTy ruler and FPP but I used the Tri-Recs throughout because it uses less fabric and I can squeeze 2 blocks from a FQ

Most of the way complete Flower Mill quilt top. Pattern by Foster Quilts

A couple of weeks ago I was unsure of the match of two different batches of background fabric. Now I have completed most of the top, I can see that it did actually work! I also learned about Amish quilts today and that maybe the odd piece in a different shade isn't all that bad. #quiltsky

I'm watching Simply Quilts on Discovery + after seeing @stephynb.bsky.social recommend it and I just learned that I'm the same age Alex Anderson was when it was filmed. Also the quilters' nail varnishes are great.

Walking Hank past the play area near our house and there's 3 tween girls sat on the swings playing music - and I am deadly serious - it was Careless Whisper by George Michael.

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

Oof I'm not sure, I have made 12 of 16 blocks, but maybe I can be strategic about placement....

I have made 75% of the blocks already ๐Ÿ˜”

Solid fabrics stacked - Kona Khaki possibly on top, with a new piece of Kona Tan underneath

Solid fabrics stacked - Kona Khaki possibly on top, with a new piece of Kona Tan underneath

Okay friends, I need advice. The fabric on the top is one I need more of. I am pretty sure it is Kona Khaki as it matches my swatch card, but in the store the dye lot was so different that Kona Tan (bottom) was closer. Can I get away with these together as a background on an almost finished quilt?

Here's a clear example of why clipping or notching curves is an instruction you shouldn't skip over in your sewing pattern. #sewingtips

Absolutely love to see this, the quilting community has rallied around @laurashawquilts.bsky.social and SAQA has done the right thing. Shame on AQS.

Does anyone collect thimbles? I have these four from an ex-employee and whoknowswhere and I'm not a collector, so happy to send on to someone who would appreciate them more!

My quilt about womenโ€™s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. Itโ€™s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. Itโ€™s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother
