i also have feelings about the quilting stage of quiltmaking
always bothered me that quilting is ONE step in the process of making a quilt. which i'm pretty sure is also sometimes called quilting. so quilting is one step in the process of quilting
can we also talk about how sometimes in knitting your supposed to knit (knit stitch), but sometimes you're not??

“It’s not just the act of hair braiding or creating quilts that moves through [Black] families; sharing them does, too,” writes @juliacraven.bsky.social. “Both practices are … symbols of communal love and well-being. And they’re both sources of joy and pride.”

Ah! So cool. I find FPP so frustrating but amazing when it works and something I don't do often enough to be comfortable doing. Tanya's quiltmaking skills are mindblowing.

Looks like a great exhibit in Harlem on Black stories and crafting. #artsky #museums

They do wonderful work!! Please consider if you would like a custom quilt. #quilt #quiltmaking #blankets #art #artist
So one of the three commissions seem to have fallen through, they have gone radio silent for about a month now so I'm opening up another spot! Anything helps bills are still tight while I get my car refinanced. Even just a share helps! The form to fill out is in my bio if you are interested!
Pushing this again cause I'm still very tight on funds and anything helps! Currently in the process of making a quilt themed on Ultima Thule but here is my commission info! I've decided to offer commissions for quilts specifically designed around characters/ships/regions in 14 for those interested!⬇️
