Finished binding last night. And just pulled from the dryer, so getting that first yummy feel of all that dense quilting. 🥰

Swipe twice for first look at the new label design.

For those asking, we will be restocking the Funshine bundle this week.
This Sugar Bear quilt is the work of one of my fav This Sugar Bear quilt is the work of one of my fave quilters who helps so much with my patterns @thequiltdr . I love Lisa’s jewel tone version of #sugarbearquilt , those hedgehogs! I also love how she did the corners of all her blocks. 🥰
🤎
There is a blog post up today about Sugar Bears fabric requirements. Link in profile and stories. If you are signed up for the quilt along (mar 17), you’ll have received an email from me about all this earlier.
A bit of commission work. #scrappy9patchquilt . It A bit of commission work. #scrappy9patchquilt . It was requested that I not use much white or low volume. They have no idea how hard that was for me. 🤣🤎 I would like to make this one again, but in my colors.....
Happy Monday! There are so many bundles on the blo Happy Monday! There are so many bundles on the blog right now for #mondayisallaboutfabric . Also, not shown, is a whole bunch of brand new Speckled fabrics. 🥰 I am in a fabric heaven. 🤣 Click over through profile or stories if interested.

Quilting done. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Time to ob Quilting done. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Time to obsess over what binding fabric. 🤣 #sugarbearquilt
I’m still new with this ruler work. This might b I’m still new with this ruler work. This might be the third quilt I’ve given a go with it. It is painfully slow (or at least on a domestic it is) but it’s hard to not see that it adds so much. This ruler work of mine is by no means perfect, but I definitely see a little growth. I finished a couple days ago and started on the free motion (my fave, swipe to see). I’ve been working on my skills at this for not two years yet, and it fINALLY looks like the clumsy clunky me I have complained about so often has been semi-replaced with a more confident me. This feels so good. 🤎 I’m loving the work on this #sugarbearquilt . 🤎 The only way to this place tho was through, with all the palm face moments, all the annoying mistakes, all the cringeing. I’ve said before that all the “ugly” quilts are so worthwhile. Ha!
🤎
 I get a lot of messages and emails about FMQ. I have a small series on the blog (tutorials>FMQ). One day I’ll chat about the ruler work on there, but I just need more practice before I do. Still there are several tutorials if you are interested.
🤎
I have about a 1/4 left of the quilt to finish with the free motion. I’m adding feathers, succulents and elongated curls. I’m enjoying myself and I hope to finish today. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
This is the work of the lovely talented @tracylouk This is the work of the lovely talented @tracyloukota . She’s testing #sugarbearquilt for me. 🥰 I just wanted to show you how fun the quilt can look with an emphasis on fussy cutting and with a scrappy LV background. 
🤎
The pattern releases 3/8. And the quilt along begins 3/17. The pattern is currently available as a pre-order in paper format. 
🤎
Alright, now let’s gush about how cute those fussies are and how Tracy is killing it!! 😍🥰💗🐻🌸👌🏻👏🏻🐻
I have so enjoyed the #anthologieqa . I wanted to I have so enjoyed the #anthologieqa . I wanted to take a moment to thank you all who participated and who made this quilt with me. Your kindness, encouragement and love to myself and others meant so much. Big hugs! 🤎
There are three bundles on the blog today for #mon There are three bundles on the blog today for #mondayisallaboutfabric . 1️⃣ Funshine is our first bundle for Sugar Bear and it’s meant to look like mine. 2️⃣ is @beelori1 ‘s Bee Cross Stitch. Such yummy colors! 3️⃣ is Woodland Walk from @nathalie_lete . The sparrows are just 👌🏻. Just in case you like to know these things, they fit perfectly in a 4.5” fussy cut. 
🤎
You can click over and read and see more through my profile or my stories. All fabrics available @meanderandmake .
🤎
Most of my weekend was spent working on the quilting for my Sugar Bear. It’s slow going. The ruler work went better Sunday than Saturday. I’ll show more later in stories.

The Rescue Quilts – #4 – The Landslide Quilt ( quilt reveal ) – The New

Hey y’all. It feels like a long time since I did a quilt reveal.  This thought made me go back and look and the last reveal I did was early May for this quilt.  That’s not to say I haven’t worked much since then.  I’ve got several quilt tops in the making, just no finishes. But today that changes!  It feels good to finish a quilt.  And this quilt feels especially good because it’s for my son, who apparently is pretty easy to please.         So if you read my post from last Friday then you...

Rescue Quilts – finishing vintage quilt tops – The Pie Quilt – How I find them

I do this from time to time.  Buy old quilt tops wherever I find them and finish them up. This is actually one I bought last year. I’m usually on the lookout for unusual fabrics and an usual pattern.  But not always.  Sometimes I’m just struck. This is one of those different patterns.  I like curve piecing.  I also haven’t mastered curve piecing yet, so I think that makes me like it that much more. I was thinking this one had some feed sack fabrics in it, but I’m no expert.  I’ve heard that feed sack has some holes...
