I’m currently working on the Waxwing Quilt (in testing) and it has been an eye-opening experience. I’m new to quilting, but up until now I’ve only made blocks for wall decor. So, this will be my first full quilt top and I can’t wait to do my own lil reveal/unrolling video.

My username isn’t Kristanknits for a good reason. Enjoy 60 seconds of my crash out while I try to learn how to knit 🧶

I got to break out my finished Ornella tank today, thanks to the slightly warmer weather. Pattern by Spaghetti Western Sewing.

Sit and sew with me for 15 seconds while I topstitch my Ornella top by Spaghetti Western Sewing.
I’m hoping to finish this up soon so I can get to wear it a few times before fall weather fully sets in.

Just finished up this cutie for a commission. It’s made from a handstitched quilt with classic Ohio stars. I hope the future owner loves it!
Made by using the Crosstown Crescent pattern, size medium by GracoMakes.

Which pairing is your favorite?
I recently finished cutting out some custom orders for quilt crescent bags. Now I get to do the fun part - actually sewing them together!
