The new #fernwehquilt tees are now in stock. Just

The new #fernwehquilt tees are now in stock. Just in case you want to wear quilt blocks in addition to making them. 🤣

When I’m planning these out I try to plan where

When I’m planning these out I try to plan where I don’t have to raise my needle and cut my thread or stitch a ditch more than once, BUT… had a hard time working that out, as always. 😌
.
So in this design, there’s two ditches that get repeated. Oh well I guess. 😐
.
I spend a lot of time here on Instagram watching custom quilters do their thing and I’m always so impressed at how fluid they make it. And I have to remind myself that the 15 second video probably is just not showing that part of the process. Because no matter our planning, sometimes a ditch ends up quilted twice so I can get from A to B. 😊
.
Which made me think of the little basting video I posted the other day with all the comments about how easy I made it look. SO KNOW THIS:
•that 15 second video was actually a 40 minute task sped up on my iPhone
•I almost fell off the stool once because I leaned a little too far to the side
•my quilt top ended up being just a tiny smidgen crooked on my backing
•at one point I accidentally hit my hand on the ceiling tile, popping it out of place and later wade fussed when he had to fix it after I refused out of worry about spiders being up there
•the can leaked a bit and I had glue all over two of my fingers
•I took a 30 minute break after I finished because exhausted

I’m fairly new to variegated threads. In the pas

I’m fairly new to variegated threads. In the past I wasn’t a fan, but I tried these neutral shades and ended up loving them particularly on pale backgrounds.
.
Now every time I’m going to be FMQing on a white background I pull them just for that. Maybe I should try some of other colors… 🤔 Are you a fan of variegated threads?
.
Threads shown in this video are from @sulkythreads and we have them available @meanderandmake .

I have a new snowball tutorial letting loose tomorrow. I thought I’d remake it and have all the “need to knows” in one place. All the tips, demo and how to skip the line drawing altogether.

Because this block… #fernwehquilt is ALL snowballs.

If this isn’t for you, that’s ok too! . FOR ME

If this isn’t for you, that’s ok too!

FOR ME, this changed my precision game. I got flatter blocks and better seam matching.
