Inspired by

Stitching on Brain Dump: Stitch the Scary Stuff in Your Brain (alternately known as The Impractical Color Wheel) continued over the weekend with Yellow! Oh Yellow is a happy color that brings much angst to many a quilter. It's warm and demands attention like the sun. There is actually more stitching, however in a desire… Continue reading Inspired by

Brain Dump: Stitch the Scary Stuff in Your Brain

So here's a bit o'progress on one sample for the aforementioned class (title). Opening the drawers of the thread chest and grabbing as many different reds as I could find to begin stitching. The cool this is after collecting thread for a few years I have a multitude of reds to choose from. Then again… Continue reading Brain Dump: Stitch the Scary Stuff in Your Brain

Embracing Quirk, and a new class

Happy Tuesday! Last spring I asked a trusted friend what her impressions were: confidence was the number one take away from that conversation. Honestly, I like that she picked up on that. It's taken a lot of time to become confident at the machine, moving the quilt under the needle and watching the quilting motifs… Continue reading Embracing Quirk, and a new class

The lecture itself is about an hour, as we made this interactive - the students asked questions lots of… Continue reading I’m kind of excited!
