Hey, I’m Amanda
@kniteatlift.bsky.social
I’m a TikTok refugee here to avoid Facebook and Instagram. I knit, quilt and read basically all the time.
The first 10 blocks from the Kona Block of the Month are done! And I’m obsessed! Hubs has requested one of just June blocks so I might try to make that happen with the leftover blocks! #kona #blockofthemonth #quiltsky

This commissioned baby quilt was so fun! I did my first curved pieces and my first half-triangle rectangles. When long-arming it, I added wind and branches and I adore it. It’s the Voyageurs pattern from quilting the national parks. #quiltsky #finishedquilt #newquilt

A while back I loaded this quilt on the long arm and had a terrible time with it. The thread shredded, stitches were skipped and it was just awful. So I put it in timeout for a while and decided to give it a new shot. #quiltsky #newquilt #pixelatedheart

I did a test quilt for someone in my milennial quilters group and I’m obsessed with this giant quilt. It’s perfect for cuddling with hubsters on the couch. #quiltsky #testquilting #bigquilts #newquilt

One of my favorite things to do is to take multiple quilts to the long arm and just power through them. This is my first pieced back and the quilt is for my dear friends’ birthday.

It’s been two months since I finished a quilt. This one is for my chiropractor who is getting married in like two weeks! #quiltsky #finishedquilt

Before starting the Kona Cotton Block of the Month club quilt I’d have told you my least favorite part of quilting was binding. Now it’s definitely trimming half square triangles. But may and June look so good!

Finally finished another quilt! This was the last of the Glencastle Irish Dance shirts I was either donated or pilfered from the free bin at the studio. Will I continue collecting shirts? You bet. Do I adore this quilt? 100% #quiltsky #quilting #finishedquilt #quiltlove #tshirtquilt

I am gonna need every single MLB announcer to learn how to say Asian names properly. Especially South Korean names. They seem to have no problem with Shohei Ohtani, but Kim Hye Seong? His name is not difficult. Please learn how to say it correctly. Respect the man.
Sincerely, a fed up Brewers fan.

I started the Kona cotton block of the month 2025 club from Robert Kaufman and I am loving the patterns so far! This is January, February and March! #quiltsky #blockofthemonth #konacotton

There’s nothing quite like finishing another quilt top. Hoping to get some quilting time this week!
Pattern is Pixellated Heart by Robert Kaufman. Used up a bunch of Kaffe Fasset charm squares. I adore it. #quiltsky #quilting #quilttop

Two more quilts all quilted! The big guy is a test quilt and the little one uses the remnants from the strip sets. I backed them both in a beautiful orange and red batik. #quiltsky #quilts #longarmquilting #testquilt #jellyroll

Sunbathing and cleaning herself on the quilt I still haven’t finished. Sure. You can lay there. #quiltsky #cats #sunpuddles

Making up a very special gift for the 25th anniversary. I got to experiment with free-motion. Lots of swirls. Some more special designs. And I tried “writing” with the long arm. I think it works. #quiltsky #quilting #tshirtquilt

Started making a disappearing 4-patch quilt out of a ton of Kaffe Fasset charm packs and I’m just not sure how I feel about it. I think it’s way too much even with the extra neutral (which would be in all blocks). #quiltsky #quilting #newquilt #disappearing4patch

My final Joann’s haul. Many of these were full bolts. All told I purchased over 100 yards of fabric. Should suit for 15 or so quilts. #quiltsky #fabrichaul #joannfabrics

I finished the quilt on this Jelly Roll Lone Star during the general Makerspace meeting and apparently the volume of completed quilts I post to discord is quite famous 😂. #quiltsky #makerspace #milwaukee #quilting

So obsessed I didn’t even press my seams before taking this photo. Still need to add borders and some more pops of color on the outside. More to come! #quiltsky #jellyroll #lonestarquilt

Earlier this week I started a jelly roll line star quilt. I wanted a challenge. So apparently “challenge” means just 8 hours of work before half the top is complete and the rest of it will be done tomorrow? Honestly I don’t know how I am so fast. #quiltsky #lonestar #quilting

Hubs requested a cuddle quilt. I obliged. This is at least 80” long and just slightly shorter in width. And yes I made it in three days. Is it normal to be this fast? #quiltsky #quilter #carpenterwheel

Why, yes. I did laundry. Second finished quilt! This is for my book club friend who loves peacock colors. I’m so excited to see her reaction to it! #quiltsky #newquilt #churndash #fatquarters

My first commission is washed, dried and crinkly and glorious! Neo has already tried claiming it. #quiltsky #newquilt #carpenterwheel

The cutest carpenter wheel top is complete and I already reserved time for quilting tomorrow! Officially my fastest quilt! Now I’m off to make another one! #quiltsky #quilting #carpenterwheel #commissionquilting

Making the cutest carpenter wheel baby blanket for my first ever commission. I’m making this with the Water Lilies fat quarter bundle and some sandy background color. I’m so excited to see it all finished! #quiltsky #newproject #quilttop #carpenterwheel

Hubs: turn it sideways
Me: um… ok?
Hubs: now you can see the heart
Me:…it’s a star!
Hubs: oh it’s a star? It looks like a heart!
Me: I mean I guess…

Anyway I love the scrappy border on this quilt. #quiltsky #quilting #finishedproject
