Have you been wondering why you are MISSING posts by people you actually follow!!!

We are all still here….but IG isn’t showing us to you!!

The Instagram algorithm is not your friend!

You can take back control by just making a selection when you open up Instagram. Click that arrow next to the IG name and choose FOLLOWING.

You will still see accounts suggested for you. I’m noticing that most of the suggestions in my feed are in fiberart or quilting.

Huge thanks to @gothamquilts for posting this tip!

OH…. if you want to find & explore new people, select the spyglass and then choose to search by hashtag. I often search #modernquilt.

New blocks for EA Cox, my Bee mate.
Her prompt was to make strips in the style of Alma Thomas, a colorfield painter and one of my inspirations. Look up Ms Thomas, and dig deep into her work to see how she boldly explored color.

Would you like to learn how I transformed this UFO into TWO small children's quilts? ⁣

Comment UFO to get a link to my blog post where I show you the steps I took to transform this small group quilt into two children's quilts. ⁣
⁣
And I did it without adding borders....until after the transformation. I think this process has inspired an idea for a new workshop!⁣
