*NOT MY WORK* So much to share from QuiltCon still

*NOT MY WORK*
So much to share from QuiltCon still.

Snip-bits from my brain:

It feels like it is supposed to be obsolete at this point. But honestly, I got home from NC just 23 days ago.

A struggle I have with social media is that everything feels like it should be fast paced and fresh. Took 6 months to make a quilt? Better compress it into a 30 second video clip. Don’t quilt every day? You are no longer relevant.

Coming back into trying to share my creativity on a more regular basis, I’m trying to find the right balance for me without too much of my own mental pushback about the digital world we live that demands so much of our energy.

All that to say, I’m still sharing things from less than a month ago. And that’s just how it’s gunna be. 🙂

We had an extra long weekend because of 20” of snow causing 2 snow days last week. I spent a tiny bit of my time in the sewing room and decided to sort my scraps.

I have a scrap collection bucket next to my cutting table that I dump scraps into. Then when that is overflowing I sort them into these nice clear bins on the shelf.

Scraps for me look like anything that can’t be neatly folded into my fabric storage bins down to 2” bits. I do not precut any sort of sizes because for improv work I grab what I have and make it work.

These bins are pretty full and I’ll focus on incorporating them into projects in the near future.

How do you sort or store your scraps?

Here are the goodies I came home with from QuiltCo

Here are the goodies I came home with from QuiltCon. I don’t spend a ton of time in the vendor area so that I can avoid splurging on unnecessary [for me] things. I did manage to snag a hera from @modern_american_vintage and I came home with some fun stickers that I swapped for.

*NOT MY WORK* More beautiful work from QuiltCon. I’m not done going though my photos yet. That means I’m not done sharing yet either.

*NOT MY WORK* Still not done sharing #QuiltCon stuff. But I figure people enjoy seeing the quilts. There’s always so many that I don’t remember seeing some of them.

So I’m here to keep posting 😁

*NOT MY WORK* More quilts from #QuiltCon that caught my eye.

I’m still slowly digesting all the quilts I photographed. I like to evaluate what drew me to look at a certain quilt and why I felt compelled to snap a photo. Some things, but not all, that stand out to me are:
-bright + colorful
-graphic design and precision
-opposite style from my own
-creative use of fabric

*NOT MY WORK*
I finally got around to getting some QuiltCon photos off my camera and edited. These were just a few quilts that stood out to me at the show.

I photographed about 95 quilts of the 600+ that hung. I won’t share them all here but I’ll try to pick some more and share in the next week or so.

Before I left for QuiltCon I dug out this project

Before I left for QuiltCon I dug out this project I’ve been working on for a couple(?) years.

There’s always a lot to process at such a big, exciting, and inspiring show. I’m hoping just getting back to the sewing machine in small chunks of time and working through a project I know I love will help me to decompress from the trip. Will share favorites from the show soon.

You got this! QuiltConing IS hard.

I may have overdone it on day 1. Today my plan is to really take in the quilts in the show. If you see me please say hi!

I didn’t go all out this year with new stickers but I do have these cuties. I also have some leftovers from last year (quilt fort quilt houses).

Come find me if you want one of these little guys!

#HelloQuiltCon
I’m on my way. Feels a little different this year since I’m not teaching. I’ll be there and spending a lot of my time admiring all the quilts in the show.
