When Hozier sings, I take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at three, he means a 3pm nap right? Because that sounds great.

Hello quiltsky! A shop mistakenly sent me a Creative Grids 8" 60° ruler, and have since told me to keep it. It's a great ruler and a great ruler company. Thing is, I already own one!
Anyone in the states want a triangle ruler?

Another quick sewing project that is probably destined for Marcy's bed. This will be a project for Trendtex in a couple of months if you also want to make one. I got to use some long neglected scrap fabrics #quiltlife #quiltsky #quiltersgonnaquilt #scrapfabricproject

Why is this the default sample text for Google Fonts and has it always been this way?! 👀

My daughter is into Paw Patrol right now and the gender imbalance is driving me crazy. Only 2 out of 6(?) dogs are female and then almost all the human characters are male too.

A couple of weeks ago I was unsure of the match of two different batches of background fabric. Now I have completed most of the top, I can see that it did actually work! I also learned about Amish quilts today and that maybe the odd piece in a different shade isn't all that bad. #quiltsky

I'm watching Simply Quilts on Discovery + after seeing @stephynb.bsky.social recommend it and I just learned that I'm the same age Alex Anderson was when it was filmed. Also the quilters' nail varnishes are great.

Walking Hank past the play area near our house and there's 3 tween girls sat on the swings playing music - and I am deadly serious - it was Careless Whisper by George Michael.

Okay friends, I need advice. The fabric on the top is one I need more of. I am pretty sure it is Kona Khaki as it matches my swatch card, but in the store the dye lot was so different that Kona Tan (bottom) was closer. Can I get away with these together as a background on an almost finished quilt?

Here's a clear example of why clipping or notching curves is an instruction you shouldn't skip over in your sewing pattern. #sewingtips

Absolutely love to see this, the quilting community has rallied around @laurashawquilts.bsky.social and SAQA has done the right thing. Shame on AQS.

Does anyone collect thimbles? I have these four from an ex-employee and whoknowswhere and I'm not a collector, so happy to send on to someone who would appreciate them more!

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

Okay so I am new here but I very much like how my groups are chronological so I see all the recent stuff and can just keep scrolling til I get down to where I left off and not be directed by an algorithm.... It's giving me Twitter in 2009 vibes 👍 nostalgia!

The last full length YouTube video I made only has about 70 views on it- if you're a fan of sewing and Only Murders in the Building, you might be interested in how I recreated Mabel's coat youtu.be/2onmR8yqVYk?...

This is the SewQLaser! It's got a few different mounting orientations for different shape machines and it's really easy to adjust for using as a straight line quilting guide as seen here, or for piecing HSTs or just generally marking a seam allowance for any sewing project.
