Wow!
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
My stash is really small compared to that of most quilters and Iβm OK with that. I tend to buy just what I need for each project. I do have some favourite fabrics that I keep on hand.
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
I spent a good three hours on my hands and knees moving around pieces of fabric on the floor. Just oblivious to anything else. Itβs very absorbing. Good for my brain!
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
Oooh, cool!!
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
It definitely takes some thinking!
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
Itβs always a challenge to work within the constraints of the fabric in the package. I will substitute in from my stash on occasion but I normally try to work with whatβs there.
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
Theyβre basic sewing but I do love goofing around with fabric.
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
Feels seasonally appropriate!
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly!!
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social)
I spent a few months away from my sewing machine so Iβm getting back in the groove with a couple of easy projects before I get fancy. This is the next quilt and it is going to use the same pattern, Dakota Sunrise, as the one I just finished with the marbled fabric. Cutting it out today!

Thanks, Heather!

Yay for the butterfly! I very much understand the book problem. I am putting together boxes of them to trade and donate. The holdup is that I want to read most of them again before getting rid of them.

This pattern lends itself to that. I lost 3 days to a stomach bug or I would have finished more quickly. But Iβm not in a hurry so thatβs fine.

Iβve finished the Midas Touch quilt top and will take it to be quilted this coming week. Iβm working on a small space so I canβt spread it all out for you. Itβs richer in person! Iβm thinking Iβll go with some spirals for the quilting.
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
Itβs a lot to process.
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent
I canβt spread it out completely but youβll get the idea. Richer in person.
Becky Grambo π (@rebeccagrambo.bsky.social) reply parent

I know about it but Iβve never witnessed it. I would bet that, since fire ants arenβt a native species, they donβt register as candidates for anting to North American birds.
