Spent the week at @hhamericas and it was sooo interesting to observe the business side of the industry 👀 But the best was really to see some friends and beautiful designers work ✨ also managed to squeeze in some time to embroider with @aurifilthread for the last artisan challenge 🕯️ ❤️🔥
Ok… I didn’t get to go to the park, so we will have to pretend 😇 Quilted picnic blanket with the delicious “Egg and Friends” collection by @kmelkight for @rubystarsociety 🧵 Pieced and quilted with MANY @aurifilthread : 50wt 2310, 2692, 2437; 40wt 2024; 12wt 2026, 5015, 6737, 5005, 4655, 2515; 1140; 8wt 2250.

I am not sure if this is what @aurifilthread had in mind when they challenged the Artisans for a “Make with Me” but here it goes 🍉🐜 a quilted picnic blanket from start to finish. Now I have to wait for a sunny day to show you the final result 🌞
✍️ check my previous post to see how I came up with this design - I think I was really hungry…

Back in August ’25 I posted a mock up of a quilt I designed [see last post] and wondered if I would ever actually make it… 🍳 well, I am!! Fusible bias tape and double needle might be my new favorite thing ❤️🔥 Also working on a fun little video of the whole process for April Aurifil “Make With Me” challenge 😏
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | textile baby book [swipe for pages] I first designed this project in 2023, made a prototype… and then life happened.
