Kia ora internet!
I'm FutureCat, a trans non-binary person (pronouns they/them) from Ōtautahi Christchurch, in Aotearoa New Zealand. I'm a quilter, and I love to travel, so this channel is a rather random selection of travel, quilting and other crafts, a few vlogs documenting my transition, and a few on just whatever was catching my attention at the time - because life would be boring if I stuck to just one topic :-)
I post fortnightly (very occasionally more often if I have time).
If you enjoy a bit of randomness, then I hope you'll stick around and subscribe! (And if randomness isn't your thing, then just skip the videos that aren't on a topic that interests you - no hard feelings!)
Ka kite anō!

I tried hand-quilting!
Переглядів 1852 місяці тому
I've always been a bit scared of hand-quilting, but a serendipitous discovery of exactly the right thread made me give it a go. And it was kind of fun, and not as hard as I expected (though I don't think I'll ever have the patience to be *really* good at it :-) Music: "Tupelo Train" by Chris Haugen (UA-cam audio library, attribution not required) Opening title sequence created by Katherine Breed

The pun that turned into a quilt

Adding 3D elements to a mini-quilt

Yes, I know I was meant to be finishing off some of those WIPs, but there was a tight deadline on this one :-) I was invited to contribute a mini-quilt to an art exhibition, and my vision for it was a muted rainbow with a 3D poppy - I think it turned out pretty well!

Your quilt turned out great.
Thanks!
I'm going to the Houston Quilt show this weekend. Will be interesting to see if any of these are in that show.
How exciting! I hope you have a great time at the show!
The butterflies were beautiful. We may have to grow older, but we do not have to grow up!
Exactly!
Thank you for sharing this incredible display of quilts. I can not pick a favorite because they are all of them: STUNNING What a lovely group of talented artists!!🥰
Aren't they great?
I've linked it to show my family overseas - thanks Kaspar!
Hope they're proud of your quilts!
Beautiful quilts so many to choose from
There were so many amazing quilts!
Thank you for sharing. The Mainland has some wonderfully different ideas for quilts. I have a friend moving to Christchurch soon and would love to connect her with the crafting scene in the city. Do you have any recommendations for guilds or groups? Making friends when you are older can be really difficult and I would love to be able to ease her transition.
I'm a member of two groups, Canterbury Patchwork and Quilting Guild, and Christchurch Quilters. If you Google them you'll find details of when and where they meet. Both are really friendly, so I suggest your friend come along and try them both and see which she likes best. She'd be welcome to come to a few meetings as a visitor before she decides which to join.
Stunning quilts
There were so many great quilts in the show!
How lovely
Thanks! I had fun making that one
Looks very good in warm colours
Thanks! I was proud of my colour scheme - a bit outside my usual colour choices :-)
Lots of beautiful quilts.
And there were so many more great quilts I didn't manage to include - it was a great show.
So beautiful!
I was feeling so inspired by all the quilts!
Those birds are beautiful!
I loved the birds too
Lovely quilts …
Aren't they? I'm always so impressed by everyone's work
♥♥♥♥♥
Beautiful!🥰🥰
The quilts are so good, aren't they?
So many lovely quilts. Thank you for showing us.
There were so many more wonderful quilts I didn't get a chance to film - it was a great show!
Thank you for taking us to the show
You're welcome! I love sharing the talented quilters we have here in Christchurch.
What a cool place!❤
It is such an amazing place!
Your color palette is great for the ultimate finish.
Thanks! It's a bit outside my usual palette, so I was really pleased it worked.
Beautiful!
Thanks!
This was were my great great great grandfather died and my family are survivors of this
Wow, that's such an amazing connection to Aotearoa's history!
Beautiful!!
Thanks!
That turned out beautiful. What a great idea using those little coffee cups as corner stones. Thanks for all the work you put into this project, it was so much fun. Have a wonderful week!
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The teacup fabric was a wonderful find :-)
Hi Future! I love your use of the teacups as corner stones. Your choice of colors is super, too. ☕ Thanks! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 (I look forward to your next collaboration.... 🙂 )
Thanks! I was so pleased when I found that teacup fabric - it's just perfect for the theme!
Love the colours!
Thanks! I had a few moments when I was making the blocks when I wasn't sure how the colours would work, but I'm really pleased how it came together
❤❤❤
Thanks!
Wow! It looks beautiful! And we won't tell anyone about the new purchases!!! The tea cups are fabulous. And how does the wind always know when we want to film a quilt??? A mystery of the universe, I think. It has been such a pleasure to work with you and get to know you, even if we are on other sides of the world. Thanks for all your inspiration and friendship FutureCat! 💖🐈
Thanks for keeping my secret 😉 I've enjoyed this collaboration so much, and getting to know you - I really hope we can do it again (but not straight away - I'm exhausted!)
Your quilt turned fantastic my friend! I love it. The purple sashing makes it I think.
Thanks! At first I was disappointed I couldn't find any more of the blue, but I think the purple ended up looking so much better.
Thank you for doing this!🥰
Thanks!
Awesome love your quilt, and appreciate the shout out - this has been an amazing quilt along ❤ Looking forward to seeing what comes next on your channel❤
Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing your finished quilt!
Gorgeous ❤
Thanks!
It’s a beautiful quilt top and inspires creativity. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks! I'm glad it inspired your creativity!
Thank you doing this. Such fun and it inspires creativity. 💜
Thanks! It was such a fun project!
Such fun seeing the ideas you come up with.
Thanks! It's such fun coming up with designs :-)
Your work is always such fun.
Thanks!
So cute CAT 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 😍 💕
Thanks! I can never resist adding a cat to my quilts :-)
What a cute cat!!! I haven't had a chance to start on the Community Round-Robin Quiltalong, due to being gone and trying to finish other projects. Thinking this will be a good winter project for me, because the blocks are just too much fun not to do. Thank you for all your work on this quiltlong. Have a wonderful week!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy working on the quilt this winter - I'd love to see how it turns out!
❤❤thanks so much I love cats and have helped with rescues as well
Always great to meet another cat lover! That's so wonderful that you work with rescues - I got my cat from a shelter when she was a kitten, and I was so impressed by the work the shelter staff and volunteers did.
What a perfect block! Could hand stitch some whiskers and eyes, too. Thanks!
That's such a great idea!
Cats are a theme for me on Blocks two and three. Great, simple block. Thank you Cat! I'm been doing extra work on the March of the Creatives, making them to represent family members. , I'm a little behind, but I have the first rows on two and three ready. Marion in Oregon
That's a great idea to have the people represent your family!
Hi Future! A cat on a quilt -- what could be cozier? 🐱 Thank you for your design, my friend. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 (Psst! Brenda sent me...)
Every quilt needs a cat 😁
So in this example if you want a larger quilt you would make for example 4 block 1’s and then 4 borders for the blocks and 4 of any other additions to complete block 1? I’ll admit it’s confusing but I’m slowly catching on!
That's right. Three of each block would make roughly a single/twin sized quilt, four of each will be more like a queen. And you can add sashing between your blocks to make it even bigger.
I love the cat my collaboration friend! It's cute and easy to make. My border video uploads next week. Back to the sewing machine I go.....
Looking forward to seeing your video!
Very cool and very you!
😅
❤❤❤
It's just perfect to have FutureCat share a cat!! I love it! This is purrrrfect! And perfect for scraps. 🐈⬛🐈😹😍
I couldn't not include a cat!😆
Me either. Will try again later
Sorry about that! Michelle might not have uploaded it yet because of the time difference.
@@FutureCatNZ I figured as much.
The pattern is available now
I can't down load the cat. Cute idea.
