After 25+ years of designing my quilt patterns (available from my website), I’m now back to creating textile art quilts, using embroidery & embellishments. I’m sharing how I create these, through a weekly video. https://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.com/

1. My original woven rick rack mat design (Blue & Yellow Mini Quilt - 2025)... 2. It was an interesting and fun piece, so I duplicated it for my Bits & Bobs quilt. #quilting #sewing #slowstitching #embellishment #quiltsky

I had so much fun, playing with embroidery stitches & trim, to make the paisley block! 👏🤩🪡🧵💙🩷 #quilting #sewing #textileart #handstitching #slowstitching #embroidery #quiltsky

2/2 They’ve been sharing space in a cabinet with plastic drawers, that are the perfect size for my floss cards. Now I’ll have to puzzle out where there’s a new area for the beads. 🤔 Nice problem to have… 🥰 #quilting #sewing #thrifting #embroidery #slowstitching #quiltsky

I’ve never been brave enough to just open the door of an old out-building here, where there are some old tarps, etc. — until today, saying out loud as I did, I’m coming in! And to my surprise I found these 3 baby raccoons! 🥰 #offgrid #ForestLiving #nature

The mini 4-Patch Heart block has been added to my Bits & Bobs quilt! 👏🤩🪡🧵💙🩷 #quilting #sewing #textileart #handstitching #slowstitching #quiltsky

1. My original Hexie Flowers (Green & Orange Mini Quilt - 2025)... 2. Those flowers turned out so lovely I had to duplicate them for my Bits & Bobs quilt. #quilting #sewing #handsewing #slowstitching #embroidery #hexies #quiltsky

1. My original Jane Austen Book design (Postcards from England quilt - 2011)... 2. I duplicated it for my Bits & Bobs quilt. Reading has always been part of my life, though recently it's more listening to audio books, as I stitch. #quilting #sewing #handsewing #slowstitching #quiltsky

I’m loving these pretty colours, that I get to add to my embroidery floss collection. 👏🪡 I believe it’s time to move my beads to a different storage container, so the floss can grow. 😁 1/2 #quilting #sewing #thrifting #embroidery #slowstitching #quiltsky
