ships in the night quilt

​ I’m working on it now ships in the night quilt I have all the blocks I’m only gonna do nine blocks and I’m gonna enter space blocks with the wave pattern which I haven’t started yet but I made all the blocks ready… 

These are the colours for the wave pattern. Might be too light. I dunno though will try making it and see whatit looks like. If it looks bad or off with the night time sky and blue water ill get fabric for a darker colourway.

Interlocking chain pattern and small practice quilt

​Four patch Interlocking chain mini quilt! im trying it out!

I have to make the letter C stand out otherwise its too difficult to put together !!

Will have to take a break for lunch. Its 4:20 today i usually would be at the rally but now that its legal i suppose its just a party. But im still at home cos i had a fight with patrice and i have no one to go with anymore! I guess i could ask porkchop but im too wiped from fighting with patrice. So annoying!

Well so far this is what i have made up. You can see fabric C  below, i chose aqua blue. These are what the four patch blocks will look like. Putting the pieces together isnt by four patch though because there is an overlap in the pattern so i think it goes by strips of three. Will find out soon enough…

Wow its really very confusing to put together !!! 

You need a lot of squares. I made too many of the blue triangle pieces and not enough of the regular square and half square triangle pieces.

 

bee fabric quilt !

​

Here are the fabrics for the third quilt!

Well its saturday now and ive started the quilt before trying to sell the other one or even before finishing the three quilted tote bags i startedzzzz 

Love when the corners are crisp

the quilt is almost finished!

​

I binded the whole quilt already but i found some hand stitches that had loose thread so i have to redo them. 

binding the quilt

​the most daunting part aside from sewing the batting for me was attaching the binding. 

Or rather sewing the binding i already attached around the quilt. I thought it made it look like a picture frame but i ended up totally scrapping the picture frame idea And just went with the regular binding that most quilts have.

At this point I realized I had to cut almost all of the excess batting and back fabric off so i could double fold the “frame” and fold it over the edge of the quilt where i would sew it at the back using a blind stitch.

I’m just at the first corner now. Thought I’d smoke a joint first because I wasn’t feeling that motivated. I think it’s just threading the needle over and over again. I’ll try again with the self threading needle but it keeps catching on the batting. So this is my crafty bit for the day. 

I hope to finish the whole quilts binding today. I’m being firm with my “today”. It’s so easy and I should be much faster by now but I’m just as slow as I’ve always been hand sewing………

original quilt blocks

​i have made some original blocks! 

A wave pattern, mushrooms, dinosaur, pineapple, apple, and many patterns. Here are some of them for you to try if you are interested. I haven't made any as I’m still waiting for my machine to get fixed. 

You can rescale it by using an inch/inches as your 1.

Finished quilt!

​the quilt is totally finished! All the edges are all sewn up the cotton trim is adorable!! I need to go wash it now and see how it stands up to the test of the commercial washer down the street ohhh i cant wait to smell it all soft and fresh !!! This is hands down the best thing i made for myself. All the clothes i made were stolen, bags i dont use anymore, little pouches yeah, but this… this is enormous! Oh yeah theres that cute coat i made but its too small for me go figure i make something too small. Actually this quilt is a bit small for a full or twin sized mattress, the edges just make it. If i was to be sharing there would be blanket snatching during the night the quilt would have to go sideways no?? Its so great but now that its all grown up i want another baby…to sell! What a challenge. Also i fucked up and i think this is the last day of the fabricland sale…..i didnt buy anything else when i bought the duvet cos it was 50 bucks and i was being conservative. I should go, there was some super cute fabric to get but without a pattern, how willi know how much fabric to buy? I supposed i could buy fabric for these blocks and make a similar quilt carefully not recreating the one i just made cos this one is mostly copyrighted patterns from the etsy book i bought to learn. I also wanted to buy some quilting books on thriftbooks but i didnt because im trying to figure out how to maximize my time effort and money. Like now for sure i want to get the sewing machine fixed, i didnt before because i was going to hand-sew and now that its done i want the machine again to piece more blocks. Actually some of the blocks are patterns i came up with but im still not sure what hercopyright is… will have to reread it… i should send her a picture of the quilt! Yup i got a new hobby.ithink of  Simons mum a lot cos she is a fabulous quilter and has scores of completed quilts at home just piling up from what i remember.

I left the back part just plain. Basically its a blanket it sewed all around the edges. Think itll be ok but i might tack it on from the top. I dunno if i need to though cos the static and the surface nature of the two fabrics the duvet and the front of the polyester sheet stick together, so the back is this kind of slippery feel. Its a blanket from a shelter i had and it fit perfectly. Go figure. Same shelter that stole my mail which was a package of cubic zirconia diamonds. Fuckin shelter system you know they really fucked up and just tormented and targeted women during the emtire covid i hated all the african staff they treated the women so badly what the fuck. They claimed their lives mattered more than the shelter participants and would kick women out on the street for no reason whatsoever.

Yipee i just got back from fabricland and i totally took advantage of the sale. Got a bumch of fabric for my next quilt project, my two feather pillow covers project, and a bunch of sequin appliqués i want to put on a quilted bag project. 

Then after fabricland i walked in the rain to wilson to go to my local vape store but they didnt have the pods i wanted nor did they have the vape juice i wamted so i bought two disposable vapes for 11 something bucks as they were on sale. 

Then i got back and bought bbq from the filipino bbq on the corner of wilson and bathurst the filipino side. Honestly their chicken is better than the pork. 

So now im all full and what a turn out of a day. I totally invested my cash and treated myself. Heres the fabric stack and a sequin applique shot 

I thought the day was done for when i fell into remembering how the shelters would kick me out over and over again for no reason whatsoever. I cant even right now. Yeah so i salvaged the day and hope i wont remind myself how badly i was treated by other women who really had no business being the decision maker in weather or not a woman would have to spend the night outside during winter when the shelters were not even full. So yeah i was really lucky i thought of fabric land. Oh yeah also i walked to value buds on dufferin and bought a new cart thc 90% cbg 10% from spinach and it smells great actually. Then the budtender who i totally appreciated gave me a discount business card for the shroom dispensary downtown!! Im stoked to go!! Yeah so PTSD is a real vibe kill and it can really bring you down til you cant move no more. You gotta find something better to do…. Well weed helps. Lol. Obviously
