NPD - Boss gifted me a Kaweco Brass Sport with an EF 14K duotone gold nib. Writes a bit thicker than my TWSBI Eco EF, but it's sooo much smoother. Very nice. Love the small form. I know, this pen isn't really exciting for many, but I like it. Also testing Lamy Azurite. Might be a keeper!4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/fountainpens
Just completed the 1st top I started in January. All hand pieced. Pattern from Carolyn Forster “The handmade quilt- skill building sampler”. 68” x 78”. Moda Stars & Stripes fat quarter bundle and Kona snow. Next to make the quilt sandwich and quilt the thing! Far from perfect but done!4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
Conklin Duragraph matte black with rose gold and Omniflex nib wasn't behaving. As per vendor's suggestion (Goulet), I reset the nib, and then heat set it. It now doesn't hard start or skip. The pen is usable! It's got more feedback than I like, but that's just my problem :) [more pix in comments]4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/fountainpens
I see your Vape, and raise you a cigar! Random stranger at the grocery store thought my Kaweco Brass Sport was a cigar. And told me off for smoking in a public space. Funny. Especially since I’ve never smoked anything!4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/fountainpens
Love my new Sprocket printer. Allows me to print photos from my day and stick it in my journal. Not high quality prints but enough of a memory trigger.4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/Journaling
4 of the 21 blocks I’m working on. I’m on block 19. 3 more to go before I piece it all together! More details in comments.5yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
Frog pot holder for my mom - who likes cooking and who likes frogs (although she doesn't like cooking frogs!). Steep learning curve here. The insulbright insulated batting was rough on scissors and needles. At its thickest, 3 layers of insulbright + 10 layers fabric was limit of my walking foot!4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
The project I work in when I’m not working on my main project. Making quilt as you go hexagons while waiting for the laundry to be done! Also, good stitching practice for when I get to the binding on my main project.5yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
Finally got back to my Basket weave pattern project. 2 more strips like that for the front. Then pieced back. Then quilted. Just a WEE bit late for the Christmas gift I originally thought this would be!4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
The math doesn't add up! Help? My strips are exactly 2 1/2 wide. My seams (using a 1/4 foot) are exactly 1/4. I triple checked. Yet, when I piece them together, instead of 2 wide, I end up with 1 7/8 wide. Which means the block supposed to be 10 1/2 is only 10. I don't get it. Ideas?3yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
Lesson learned. Don’t try hand stitching hexies quilt as you go in a bus going fast on a bad high. Seasick. Giving up for now.5yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/quilting
Disappointed with the clip I got for Kaweco Brass Sport. It fits. But it slides off easily. So if I try to clip to more than a sheet of paper or two, it slips right off.4yr ⋅ Agazir ⋅ r/fountainpens
