#neuhier

Hallo Zusammen, ich bin Tanja, 51, süchtig nach Stoff und Wolle. Partner und Hund. Gerade sehr im Nähwahn. Ich habe #EPP und #quilting für mich entdeckt. Seit Oktober 24 in einem lieben Nähkurs und lerne fleißig dazu.

Bisher aktiv bei Insta und sehr angenervt dort. Ich würde mir gern wieder aussuchen, wem und was ich folge. Überlege mich dort zu löschen.

Was suche ich? Austausch mit netten Menschen rund ums Nähen und Stricken. Ideen für neue Projekte finden und eigene Werke zeigen.

I started another quilt today. This one will go to a coworker having a baby around the end of July. I still have to appliqué a ship and a moon. #quilting #StarTrek

I got so many great ideas for how to fix the grommet on this quilted backpack, and I tried a bunch, but ultimately realized I should just cut it off. This bag is about an inch shorter than the the pattern called for, but still roomy

I made the embroidery font myself, adding the cuneiform-like triangles to a simple alphabet. Lots of jump threads to trim but worth it! Going to be fun to carry this around

My first zipper bag!

I’ve always been a bit leery of sewing zippers but I found a pretty good tutorial and finally decided to give it a whirl

It’s a bit harder to sew thru the quilted parts than I thought, but it was fun and I bought a bunch of zippers so there’s probably more of these ahead for me

Hey fellow quilter 👋🏻 so happy you are here!

Since you’re new, couple of tips - hashtags are your friends. #Quilting and #Quilts both get used tho the first is a bit more popular

There’s a couple of vision impaired quilters here so if you have the spoons for alt text, it’s much appreciated. If you don’t, you can always ask for help with it by tagging (#)ALT4me and someone will chime in

Hope you’ll post WIPs too - I love to see creative people in action!

Warm wishes and welcome!

Not yet quilted, but this improv pieced banner is done, featuring one of my favorite quotes by concentration camp survivor and rights activist Stéphane Hessel

His full quote is "To create is to resist. To resist is to create." but I didn't have enough scraps for both, so the letters' fabric choices mirror each other instead

Been wanting to do this for a while; now seemed the right time

Here's a short write up about Hessel's incredible life:

Looking for advice — I was adding the first of eight grommets to this quilted backpack and it cut all the way thru; I think I was using the wrong tool

I’d really like to save this piece. The metal grommets were the last step and I don’t want to lose all that work! But I also don’t want to add bigger grommets.

Is there any other option? Suggest anything and everything - I’m sad it screwed up and stuck

Last new quilt for 2024; eighth total, and largest I've ever made. I know, it needs ironing. :) The neon squares were from Trash for Teaching, a warehouse of post-manufacturing waste (not there anymore, sadly). They were already cut into squares of this size, so I accepted that gift. The print fabric and rickrack are probably from my grandmother's 70s/80s stash. I'm thinking of it as a blank-slate quilt--the giftee can add to it, write on it, draw on it, etc. It's also bright and different enough to be easy to find on the beach. #quilt #quilts #quilting

How many machine stitching people like me sometimes need a solution for not confusing a brand-new machine needle with a gently-used-but-still-good one? I found a solution that works for me, and I’m really pleased! Details are on my blog at https://sandymike.net/blog/2024/08/31/a-solution/.
