Robert Kaufman Fabrics and Quilter's Paradise have joined forces to bring you this collection of essential quilting calculators. Designed by quilters, our calculators allow you to quickly convert between yards and inches, meters and centimeters; work out how much fabric you need for backing, batting and borders; and see how many rectangular pieces can be cut from a larger piece. There are even calculators for square-in-a-square, set-in and corner triangles.

It's don't say this but it's actually an app but it might be helpful for someone.

Quick project made up from an old Framecraft kit I got in one of my eBay bundle hauls. Rainbow Celtic cross design pocket mirror!

Haven't decided on a new big project yet so here's some scrungly little beasts inspired by this ancient Peruvian embroidery

[EDIT] this pattern can now be purchased on ko-fi for as little as $1 🐈💖 You'll get both the single and dual-color versions in both left and right orientation.

This dragon is especially chilly. He is so cold that is body is entirely made of snowflakes. One frost breath from him is enough to freez you for eternity. Its the "Icedragon - Winter" dicetray. You know where to find it!

Trying to sell handmade crafts in this economy is so. Like. Hey guys I know we're all broke as fuck but do you want my silly little things. I'm very good at it. For the time it takes to make them + skill + materials it's gonna be 30$ per silly little thing. But also shipping costs 12$ for reasons outside my control so it's actually 42$ now. Sorry. No I really can't charge less than that. Yeah I know. Ok. Bye

And this is for my things that are silly and little. I'm not even one of those people making, like, quilts and blankets and shit. Can we pour one out for the fiber artists making quilts and blankets and shit

I'm presenting a tiny crocheted bird to you. Putting it into the palm of your hand. This can be yours. For what seems like too much money but I promise it isn't. We've all just really lost sight of fiber arts' value with industrialization and outsourced sweatshop labor etc. This is actually the minimum I could ask for without fucking myself. I don't like what this implies about mass produced items either. It's really horrific. You can get an ethically sourced 42$ tiny crocheted bird though

Shortly after posting this I received an order for nearly 200$ worth of tiny crocheted birds this is the good luck post for people actually paying for your handmade crafts

I had so much fun making this little guy for a friends birthday. When we worked together we would intimadate each other red panda style just to make the day a little more fun.

The icing on the cake for me is the crochet border, Its just going to look so cute hanging on her wall!

Dream Tiger cross stitch! Design based on this gif by @kaliptro, which was inspired by govy9807's dream tiger. Thank you so much, kaliptro, for letting me use your art <3

My first time ever making a pattern! It was a lot of trial and error and adjusting while stitching.

When people see my cool wheelchair decorations...

It's seriously changed my interaction with strangers so much for the better. Now I make crochet friends instead of answering awkward invasive questions.

Pattern - Pillbug by @livvi3love

I made these two cute charms/keychains based on elements in my art. It's nice to have some small and quick projects after a large time-consuming one. The next idea I have for this will be a strawberry.

But for now, back to working on another geometric cat illustration!
