Patchwork skirt is done!

I have no idea how many squares I cut and sewed for this, but each square was 11x11cm, the waist is about 1,6m and the hem about 4m.

I tried to use similar muted colours both from my own stash and the scrap bins at work. There's one green patch at the back that doesn't match and I hate that! It was originally at the front and I ended up undoing that entirely to move it to the back. 😅

Last picture is there to show you that it has POCKETS!

Ps. Sorry about the lack of alt text, I have a migraine coming and really need to go lie down, I'll work on that when I feel better.

Pps. Also sorry about the picture quality, no sun today!

Na? Wie wär's mit nem Stückchen?
Dieser französische Rhabarberkuchen ist super schnell zusammengerührt und passt perfekt in eine Tarte-Form. Zum Rezept findet ihr via Link in der Bio oder direkt so:

Zu sehen auch das fertige... Quilt-Deckchen? Untersetzer? Mini-Quilt-Ding? Eigentlich als Telleruntersetzer fürs Kind genäht (unebene Tischplatte). Nach Fertigstellung streikte die Familie allerdings, weil zu schön dafür. Jetzt.. keine Ahnung was ich damit machen soll. 😅

While I was learning the ins and outs of my new sewing machine, my big quilt project was waiting patiently for me.

I have read up on the Trip Around The World pattern, and I noticed my design was missing out on the middle cross section which helps make a more pleasant geometric form (imo).

So ... I will check out my KF Collective/Free Spirit fabric stash to see if I can find one fabric that I can use in my 16 squares; the plain colors will not change.

Back to the drawing/design board, and I need to prepare myself for some serious unpicking of seams!

Square fabric pieces sewn together with a notebook with pencil drawn designs for the fabrics.

The end of #The100DayProject draws near.
I've knitted and attached all my squares. Now I need to start cleaning it up and crocheting the edges. So this means Ihave about a week to tidy up the threads, crochet a border, and then try to block it. This should be 187 squares.
The front looks a lot more ready than the back.

A knitted patchwork blanket with a lot of different squares in mainly earthy autumnal tones, and with different textures and stitches.

Decided on a pattern for my Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt an started to sew a test. My plan - so far - is to use no newly produced fabric. I made the first flowers out of a rest of my 1. medieval-byzantine garb, an old jumpsuit of my kid (woodland critters), a shirt I never wore and a vintage fabric scrap. The border of the flower (or the "ways" between the flowers in the garden, there will also be "leafs" in various shades of green) consists of second hand cloth, I hope I have enough of it. I had the luck to find second hand some vintage fabric from a quilter (may the earth be light on her). I bought ~ 4 Kg fabric online really cheap and without really knowing what was in it, only because of some turquoise cotton fabric I saw on a crappy photo. I gambled a bit and was rewarded. When I opened the parcel I was so happy to find that there were several pieces of (vintage and modern) damask bedclothes included, hand died in green, olive and turquoise. Really, it's an absolute treasure box.

Edit: (Also: I feel like I am deeply in need to review my thoughts about art and crafting. When I look at other peoples things: Yes! This is art!
When I look at my things: No, you just did.. apply things you bought, used techniques you saw. 🥴)

Closed silver laptop with rainbow stickers. On it: A flower out of hexagon fabric bits. The petals are made out of cloth with green leaves and blue, oriental flowers. The center is blue linnen. The partially sewed on border is turquoise damast. In the center is a bee, a needle minder with the needle and thread. Oder flowers and small boxes with hexagon parts are scattered around.

I got almost all the #knitting I did during my vacation attached to the main body of the blanket.
Here's where it is at now.
I still have some four or five lying around that need to be attached. I think it's about 75% ready, but all the edges still need to be crocheted, and there are a lot of loose threads on the back.

A very colorful knitted patchwork blanket consisting of many 10 by 10 cm squares. The squares are in all sorts of colors and textures, but there is definitely a mossy green overtone.

Now I got into a bin with Precious Treasures. Antique patchwork, my old quilt project pieces, handwork I don’t want to toss out. But whenever will I find time to make anything to gift from them? Ah me, maybe a granddaughter will inherit a box or too and then be torn about keep vs. save. Look how nicely I used to hand quilt. I can’t bear to throw that block away. Note the yardage next to it marked to have a much larger quilted wreath. Sigh

A clear bin being sorted for quilted pieces and patchwork blocks to save for new small projects. Various old and new cloth pieces, various colors.

Late night crafting. What you do on a friday evening: cutting fabric, basting your hexies, maybe place a few stitches? 😁 It's for (another 🙄 - hello, #ADHD) new project. I want to make a classic grandma's flowergarden Quilt for me to sleep under when it's cold and I try to use mostly upcycled fabric for this project.
(So - if you have old clothes or cloth made from woven cotton/viscose with a nice floral pattern that you don't want anymore - I'm your person!)
This cloth I'm using here is from a beloved jumpsuit from my kid, which is too small now. Other flowers I made from a beautiful indian top I never wore. The blue center is made of linnen cut offs from my first byzantine garb I made for my #LivingHistory hobby nearly 10 years ago.

Gray background, on this is a hexagon patchwork flower with an indigo blue center piece laid out. The six "petals" are made from black cloth with a colourful floral pattern and cute, small animals (bunnies, butterfly...). Thee additional staples with basted hexagons are lying alongside. There are also sewing scissors to be seen. The handle is highly ornamented and golden. It looks like a pattern of lily of the valley.
