Have you ever gotten a little lost in your creativ

Have you ever gotten a little lost in your creativity, to the point where you finally finish working on your project and you go to stand up and all the muscles and joints in your body are stiff and cranky? ❌
.
.
I do! Maybe it’s just the arthritis, but I’m guessing I’m not alone.
.
.
That’s why I’ve decided to switch gears a little away from quilting for a second and share with you some chair yoga poses to help alleviate some of that stiffness and pain. I have a quick 15-minute sequence video up for you, but if you’d rather just skim through the list of stretches and movements, they’re all listed out on the blog as well! .
.
✨there are about 10 different poses and they’re all ones you can do right from your chair so you can sprinkle them in throughout your sewing time. Go watch the video (link will be in my bio and stories) and then come back here and comment to let me know which pose you feel helped the most. .
.
.
Ps as a quilter and also a yogi, I’d love to continue sharing with you! I’m in yoga teacher training this year and am always open to requests for future videos. Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d want me to teach on ❣️🧘🏼‍♀️

Mark your calendars... The Triangular Quilt Patter

Mark your calendars... The Triangular Quilt Pattern is set to release on July 23rd. It’s with my testers now, so you might begin to see #triangularquilt photos popping up between now and release. .
.
I made this baby version with all @windhamfabrics Artisan Cottons and they’re seriously so luscious. 💙🖤💚🤍
.
.
.
Right now I’m planning to have this pattern include 4 sizes: wall hanging, baby, throw, and bed. Which size quilt is your favorite to make?

A few weeks ago I asked for help finding the perfect backing for this scrap-tastic throw size quilt and y’all did not disappoint!! I had so many helpful friends reach out with suggestions, and I’m so grateful! .
.
.
I decided to go with a wide-back fabric from @connectingthreads (this one is called Cobblestone)🥳 If you need quilt backings for all of those quarantine projects, I’m a fan of this for sure! Online shopping makes it a major win❣️
.
.
I can’t wait to bring this to my long-armer for her to work some magic ✨
Next time you see this beauty, it will be quilted! .

Hi, I’m Emily.
I originally planned this post a few days ago just as a lighthearted introduction to share more about me and tell you about fabric. .
.
This caption has been written and rewritten several times as I struggle through my thoughts and feelings. Please know that I’m in a process of learning. .
.
.
As a person, I strive to continually learn and grow. I value diversity and differences in culture, backgrounds, life experiences, and viewpoints. .
.
I’m heartbroken right now and I struggle to find the right words.
I know I’m not alone, and I just want you to know that, in this little corner of the internet, YOU matter. I care about you. I desire a diverse, welcoming, creative community and I hope you feel included here, whether you look, think, & act like me or not. .
.

My greatest joy is to inspire people to express their creativity.
All people. .
.
One of the small things I’m doing right now is to educate myself in hopes that I’ll be better equipped to build a more diverse community of creative people. There are lots and lots and lots of resources you can find if you also want to educate yourself as well. I’m personally starting with the books “White Awake” and “Just Mercy” since I was able to get them from my local library. Please reach out if you want to learn alongside me. Feel free to comment other books/resources that might be beneficial for intentional diversity and valuing individual differences as part of a larger community ❤️
.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. ✨ thank you for meeting me where I’m at and joining my journey. 🥰

Working through my WIP pile and finished the bindi

Working through my WIP pile and finished the binding on this baby quilt today! While I do enjoy sewing the binding down by hand, I’ve been doing it by machine as well lately (because I have so many that need to be finished.)
.
.
If you want to learn a few different methods for binding a quilt, I have a 3-part blog series up that can help! Shoot me a DM if you need help finding it on the website, but if you search “binding” on homemadeemilyjane.com they should pop up! ❤️
.
.
Have you ever tried binding by machine? It took me a while to get the hang of it but once I figured out how to baste it down it got 1000x better! ✨

THREE generations were involved in the making of this quilt! ❤️
.
.
You might recognize the pattern as my #connectorquilt (it’s fun in 2-colors too!) .
.
The amazing woman who taught me how to quilt, my grandmother “Tutu” pieced it, and my mama did the quilting! I’m blown away by the beauty and I’m sure this quilt will be cherished for years to come! 💙
.
.
.
Do you have a fellow quilter in your lineage as well? Tell me about her, or him. Did you learn from them? Or teach them? ❣️

It took about a week’s worth of slooooow stitching but I finally finished the binding on this #plusandminusquilt ❤️

Do you have any fun quilty plans this weekend?! .

Now that I’ve finished a WIP, I’m treating myself to starting a new project! I’m going to make a pillow-size mini quilt to hang up on my sewing room wall 🥰 I’m looking forward to a little selfish sewing! .
