This is actually a series of three throw quilts made from the same pattern, using a layer cake of Tula Pink True Colors and the four-at-a-time flying geese method.

Current Status: Two quilt tops are complete, and the third is nearly finished.

Another set of multiple quilts from the same pattern, this time using fat quarters. One quilt is baby-sized and the other is a throw. I may eventually come up with a better name for this project.

Current Status: The baby quilt top is finished. The throw-size quilt is currently a pile of uncut fabric, and may or may not truly count as a WIP.

I received a Hawaiian pillow-top quilt kit from a family member. I love projects like this because they’re mostly handwork (hand appliqué and hand quilting), which means I can work on it from the couch. The small pillow-top size also makes it very portable. I haven’t identified the motif yet, so let me know if you know what it is!

Current Status: Hand appliqué in progress.

I designed this quilt for my friend Dhanya’s wedding in September 2024. Yes, I’m behind. It’s a medallion-style quilt with Southwest-inspired vibes, featuring her favorite color: maroon.

Current Status: The medallion portion of the quilt top is finished; the piece border still need to be cut and assembled.

This is another wedding quilt that missed its deadline (the wedding was in October 2024). I’m using colorful fabric scraps (many donated by the bride!) for the spacesuits and stars. This is my first time tackling one of Elizabeth Hartman’s whimsical patterns, and it’s every bit as cute as promised.

Current Status: The cat heads are pieced, but not much beyond that.

I’m not sure this one really counts as a project. I made these walking foot quilting samples for a blog post, but never finished the edges. Each piece is 14” square (too small for a pillow, I think) so they’ll probably end up as wall decor in my sewing room.

Current Status: Quilted and ready for binding.

Like most of my crochet projects, this one has been sitting neglected for quite some time. I’m using this pattern from Frisian Knitting, which uses tapestry crochet, a technique where unused colors are carried inside the stitches.

Current Status: The bottom is complete, and I’ve started the main body.

I started this cardigan years ago. The pattern is the Marley Cardi by Meg Made With Love, using Caron Simply Soft yarn. As it came together, I began to suspect I did something wrong—it doesn’t look much like the pattern photos, and I’m not loving it. That’s probably why it was abandoned, but I’m giving it another chance.

Current Status: The body is assembled; sleeves and finishing remain.

I don’t remember exactly when I started this brown version of the Crochet Along Afghan Sampler by Inspired Wren. Why brown? Because I somehow acquired a large quantity of brown and tan Knit Picks Palette yarn and needed a plan. I wasn’t following the pattern exactly (I rarely do), so I’ll need to figure out where I was headed before continuing.

Current Status: Twenty-four squares completed; six to go!

My dad likes moose. I started a two-color moose tapestry using Tunisian (blanket stitch) crochet. I don’t remember where the moose graph came from. According to my notes, this was originally meant to be a four-panel blanket, but I’ve since reduced the scope to a wall hanging, which feels much more achievable.

Current Status: The moose has legs.

I picked up this kit on a whim from Herrschners during a trip to central Wisconsin to visit my parents. I wanted an afghan for my living room, and the colors worked well. The main challenge with returning to this project is remembering how I handled round starts, color changes, joins, and square connections so everything stays consistent.

Current Status: Working on the fourth of seven strips.

I attempted to weave a plaid on my rigid heddle loom, intending to use a twill structure. Instead, I wove a tabby. My sett was completely wrong for tabby, so the fabric never balanced properly. After enough frustration (and wanting my loom back), I cut it off. It may become a placemat or something similar, but until the edges are finished, it still counts as a WIP.

Current Status: Just needs the edges finished.

I bought a hank of Gusto Carmen palindrome yarn because it was pretty, then realized I didn’t have much yardage and I was restricted to warp length based on the dye pattern. A stick bag turned out to be a perfect solution. It’s sized to hold stick shuttles, pickup sticks, and warping sticks for my 16” loom. I added woven ties using scrap yarn and an inkle band woven on the rigid heddle loom. This project is not a very dusty WIP, started in the last week of 2025.

Current Status: Weaving complete; needs assembly and washing.

It was inevitable that I’d try spinning once I realized how low the barrier to entry was (a drop spindle and some wool). I have approximately two minutes of spinning experience, all of which went into starting this project. It won’t be pretty, but it will be my first handspun yarn, which feels like reason enough to finish it.

Current Status: A wad of lumpy single yarn is growing on my spindle.
