I'm so excited about this quilt top! It's my first foundation paper piecing finish. I'm pulling the paper out with the help of blunt tip scissors, tweezers, and a vintage ashtray turned collector for tiny bits recycling. #angelapingel #booknerdquilt #literarybycrimsontate #heathergivansfabric #literaryfabric #essexyarndyedlinen #robertkaufmanfabrics #aubadefabric #janetclarefabric #modafabrics #eerilyelegantfabric #debstrainfabric #spooltail #booknerd #books #bookish #perfectforthereaderinyourlife #avidreader #angelapingeldesigns #essexlinen #foundationpaperpiecing #fpp #removingpaper #vintageashtray #recycle #blunttipscissors #tweezers https://www.instagram.com/p/B3j1o7jnCqO/?igshid=1c9oftec9sh9c

Hooray, brain! I remembered to square up my blocks before I started assembling the rows. #quiltingistherapy #postconcussionsyndrome #quiltblocks #quilting #trimming #rotarycutterftw #quiltyproject #quiltygift #enjoythelittlethings #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B3aE76EHn8N/?igshid=1fwv2hmuj8891

Gwynivere approves of the kicker toy I sewed up yesterday. Or she might have a nip problem. #cattoy #catlady #imadethis #kickertoy #catkicker #catnip #prototype #quicksew #sewjo #sewing #sewingtime #enjoythelittlethings #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mCtr2ncmc/?igshid=12zaslgkczx45

I needed a quick project to get some sewjo going. I'm curious to see how durable quilting cotton is in a kicker toy for the cats.

First try and fifth try. I didn't understand how the single crochet stitch worked in the beginning. #learntocrochet #jeanleinhauser #leisurearts #thecreativepartners #beginner #singlecrochetstitch #crochetstitches #singlecrochet #keeplearning #learningnewthings #findyourlearningmethod #somedaysarebetterthanothers #begrateful #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Xbi5vnWZx/?igshid=vkmjd8a3c4s4

I'm going to try to learn a new thing while benched due to an allergic reaction yesterday. My chest and throat are still hella sore so moving around a lot is out of the question. #learntocrochet #jeanleinhauser #leisurearts #thecreativepartners #beginner #keeplearning #cannabisallergy #latexfruitallergy #anaphylaxis #recovery #legalizationwillleadtostudies #someonewillfigureoutthisallergy #learningnewthings #somedaysarebetterthanothers #begrateful #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RT30oH4g-/?igshid=ai2slpibhz27

I'm so excited to cut into this project and start it! I finagled a few others so this one could rise to the top of my list. Since it's a gift, I'll have more pictures after it is gifted. #quiltyproject #quiltingistherapy #quiltygift #quilting #quilter #foundationpaperpiecing #literaryfabric #literarybycrimsontate #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oRnHnHr41/?igshid=arb4sthc5vcg

Terial Magic is a good friend to flannel. I've got enough of this Starry Night quilt for the car cut and organized that I can move it to the wip pile almost guilt free. #starrynightquilt #villarosadesigns #carquilt #redandblack #wip #quiltywip #workinprogress #houndstooth #flannel #cotton #texturestudy #mixingtextures #gtired #quiltyproject #quiltingistherapy #quilting #organization #keeplearning #trynewthings #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cS_buH968/?igshid=lprr5lowy9kd

For the first time, we'll be sleeping under a quilt I made! I'm so excited I woke myself up a little. #firsttime #sleepingunder #quilt #imadeaquiltforus #bees #dreamerfabric #memade #quiltyproject #quiltingistherapy #quilting #freemotionquilting #ohmygoodness #imsoexcited #whossleepy #bedtime #quilter #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/B0AI-Ocnlz3/?igshid=3wqidqymy9g5

I've finished piecing all of the Icy Galaxies blocks and started trimming them down for assembly. Only 29 more to trim! #quiltblocks #trimmingblocks #icywatersquilt #paperpiecedmodern #amygarro #icywaterspattern #foundationpaperpiecing #mistyfabrics #clothworksfabrics #quilting #quiltpattern #quiltyproject #fpp #modifiedpattern #oppositeofthepattern #darktolight #lightodark #quiltywip #keeplearning #spooltail #icygalaxies https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3Js74HTrx/?igshid=269ekworlpi

I'm all caught up on the Mystery BoM at The Cotton Cupboard! It feels so nice to have finished the instructions for the actual month we're on.

I've learned so much from the first try at my first unsupervised (not in a class) in the hoop make. The first is that cut away stabalizer isn't my friend. The second is that trimming in the hoop with one layer of fabric is much different than when you work with batting in the hoop. I'm looking forward to learning more. #machineembroidery #inthehoop #firsttry #keeplearning #embroiderystabalizer #cutawaystabalizer #nexttime #washawaystabalizer #trimmedtooclose #cutthreads #oopsies #embroidery #urbanthreads #kittycornerbookmark #bookmark #kitty #spooltail https://www.instagram.com/p/BzA-v8RHJV2/?igshid=mjo6j3q2wtzd
