I am super excited to share what I've been working on this past week! This is my first custom quilt order in almost 2 years, and it is SO much fun returning to what I love to do. Making quilts for other people is such a labor of love, and I adore being able to work with all kinds of different fabrics. For this quilt, I get to work with gorgeous imported African fabrics and hand-stamped prints.
I hope you enjoy watching me work on this beautiful quilt top and maybe learn from some of my "mistakes," haha! That's the great thing about quilting, right? We're CONSTANTLY learning and growing! Thank you so much for watching, and have a beautiful day!!!

I think you are doing a great job. How is your little studio going? I appreciate all your comments about consistency. I have sewn all my life, but just getting started in quilted. I appreciate Jenny's comment about finished is better than perfection. While I try to improve in some way with each quilt, it gives me permission to allow myself a break when I mess up on something. So I can enjoy the process while learning.😊

@StitchObsessed Месяц назад

Yes! You really do learn something new and get a little better with each quilt. I think that’s why I love it so much! There’s always something new to learn 🥰 my studio is coming together slowly but surely! It’s been very hot here lately, so I haven’t been able to work on it much on the inside. 😂🥵 I should have an update video on Friday about it!

I made their wedding quilt as a gift from my daughter-my 1st quilt Ever was a king size Dbl Wedding Ring! This was a 20th anniversary quilt, the largest I’ve ever made- Cal King. I made it a Memory Shaggy Chic Rag quilt. It had 10 special embroidery blocks in it including 1 that was an Ultra sound design of “Twins”! Wish I could show you. 😊

I would stay clear of dry cleaning and encourage her to spot clean but first testing a spot. Dry cleaning is harsh chemicals compared to dawn dishwashing soap (original not super scrub version). (Dawn is used to clean grease off animals without hurting them & used it to clean grease off clothing). I love those gold blocks! Can’t wait to see it done!

@1955dmb 2 месяца назад

Your work is so neat and those squares are so square and pressed to perfection!! I have been quilting for 30 years and I'm dreaming of having one of your quilts!! I am kind of insanely frugal, so I am wondering if you plan to cut out the background fabric behind those fabulous blocks or leave it there. You could sew them together as a border around the backing you have already planned or incorporate them into another quilt. It might be easier to quilt without the fabric behind the blocks. No matter what you plan, it's going to be a very well loved quilt.

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

Ya know what, I hadn’t even thought of cutting out the patchwork behind the blocks, but now I’m thinking that might be a GREAT idea! It’ll definitely help with the bulk of those areas. Thank you SO MUCH for the suggestion! 💖💖

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

Yay! I’m so glad you’re trying glue basting! I love it so much! Haha unfortunately, I won’t be using any glue on this quilt. I don’t want to have to wash it because of the hand stamped gold designs, and you need to wash out the glue. So I’m using pins for everything! 👏🏻

@TGBTGAlways 2 месяца назад

I love the batiks with the African squares what a great idea! 💞 Are you gonna cut out he back of the appliquéd quilt block to lessen the thickness or will you leave the back attached to the square? I was wondering cause I normally will cut the back out to eliminate the extra thickness but it’s bc I quilt by hand mostly 😉

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

I’m thinking about it! I’m a little nervous to cut it, but you’re definite right, it will help with the bulkiness!!!

@susangray6470 2 месяца назад

@lindanonnenmann1112 2 месяца назад

Looks stunning!! If pins arent working...how about using glue to attach like you glue baste your layers??

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

That’s normally what I would have done, but I don’t want to have to wash this quilt because of hand stamped designs in the center squares, so pins it is! I’ll also be pin basting…send prayers! 😂🙏🏻

I LOVE African fabrics! What you're creating is stunning! Bordering the hand painted blocks with batiks is a genius idea. I can't wait to see the final piece. Will you be quilting around the appliqued blocks ? The quilting pattern would be the hardest challenge for me, but I bet you have it all under control 😊

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

I actually haven’t decided yet! Hahaha! 🥴 I think I’ll just stitch in the ditch around the center squares and border batiks, then do the boxy meander on just the background patchwork. I really want the hand painted squares to be the star of the quilt and I don’t want the quilting to interfere with that. 🤓💖

I’m sure she appreciates that you are still working on it as you can! Are you going to hand baste that since you can’t wash it in the machine or will you hand wash it after glue basting in the bathtub or something like that? I really like using washable quilt tape that I get on Amazon (much cheaper than Wondertape) for keeping pieces in line when they’re being little b*&$ches about staying put.

I did not starch any of this fabric. I didn’t want to use any products I wasn’t sure how they would react with the fabrics. When/if I do starch fabrics, I like to use Best Press 🥰

@reneecorbin8501 2 месяца назад

You will need more sewing inside the blocks,,the outside will not be enough stitching,, unless when you quilt you plan to meander inside the blocks?? I know you said it wouldn't be washed but ,,if it ever was it would need more stitching ,,I would not meander inside the blocks,you could just stitch in the ditch once more inside the blocks so you won't see it,and the beautiful gold will stand out more. Hope this makes sense, wishing you the best ,Renee

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

@florneiers5651 2 месяца назад

Why not attached the blocks with interfacing first then do the blanket stitch. How about gluing the blocks then do the blanket stitch. Just curious,I’m no expert.

@StitchObsessed 2 месяца назад

Well, the center squares already had some interfacing on it when I got them, so I didn't want to add even more bulk, and then I'm not going to use any glue on this quilt because I don't want to have to wash it. The center squares have this beautiful gold ink/paint on it, and I don't want to damage that at all. So I had to use pins!
