The lack of crafty engagement on here is KILLING me :(

This block gave me so many problems, but I guess I’m my harshest critic!!

My grandmother absolutely adores her Juki and almost refuses to sew on anything else! Even when she has access to a Singer (she has a beeeeeaaaaautiful Featherweight upstairs that just purrs) she really prefers her Juki. So funny how some machines just click and stick with you!!

Oop, yep, Lemmy was giving problems, especially since I already thought I responded to you days ago!!

My very favorite thing about quilting is how the textures and colors come together - do you remember playing with tangrams as a kid? I can’t believe I’m only just now getting into quilting because I swear I used to live and breathe tangrams in school, and now I get to play with fabric tangrams to my heart’s content!

Yes!! I just started watching to Critical Role, which if you don’t know is a streamed Dungeons and Dragon’s game played and run by voice actors, and there are hundreds and hundreds of hours to go through. It’s become my go-to stream when sewing on the couch :D

Thank you so much! I didn’t have a machine for a while so hand-sewing was it, and now I’m doing my LQS’s block of the month program by hand since the program is a whole year long! I figured I can do a bit of embroidery and one handsewn block a month and I won’t go crazy :)

I am so intimidated by circles in sewing. How fun!!

I am just in love with this. Makes me want to go wrap myself in it on a sunny hill and take a catnap!

Those points look chiseled! Amazing!

I use my moonlander with the thumb clusters pushed all the way up instead of down or ‘tented’. However this created some wobble so I bought an extra set of feet from ZSA and installed them on the outside of my board (there’s already a screw hole there from factory, just need to take the cover off). I love it! I have small women’s hands and no problems at all with my moonlander layout , cluster buttons set to my modifiers and space bar.

If you’ll forgive my filthy desk picture, here she is:
