I don’t really mind. It has a lot of stitching in it I don’t want to disrupt.

Finished banner, all raw edged appliqué with thrifted fabric. I only kind of regret the red, because I love it.

Right now I see something kind of 60s with the floral brooch shape, the cat eye glasses shape, and the groovy large pink shape. I didn’t see that yesterday.

I used a glass San Pellegrino bottle that was filled with handspun yarn.

Quilt race 2025! The assignment was to take an object in your room you like the silhouette of and make it in as many different ways as possible. And make a quilt top in an hour while listening to a curated play list. I didn’t sew at all, just pinned.

Started banner while in the #quiltynook skill share this afternoon. It will read: All Flourishing is Mutual, which is a quote from Robin Wall Kimmerer

Finished my travel project.

Day 13: fire tower
14: rose petals my entire family keep tracking inside from the big wild bushes outside
15: my mom gave me a linen pillowcase her mom embroidered for her and it’s the one piece of ancestral embroidery I have. These lazy daisies are a tribute to it.

Went to the sweetest free art store here and found this amazing handmade thread book.

Thank you!

Red starry shapes inspired by the cottonwood pollen.
12: tumbleweed

11: at a garage sale I bought a linen table cloth. It was the seller’s grandmas. I told her I’d be making it into art and she said her grandma was an artist so she’d be delighted. She was very happy to hand it off to someone. So circles from that table cloth.

Travel project update (last slide is the whole thing so far):

Day 7: water/river
8: switchbacks
9: the bees that are ridiculously loud in my mom’s roses. Or there’s not much noise pollution here. Maybe both.
10: scrabble tile and with my mom’s initial

I’ve always enjoyed painting and drawing human faces.

Finished: Great Grandma Tillie. I learned so much doing this one! I’ll never make anything like this ever again, but the play and experimenting was priceless. I think I’m going to continue with portraits and I have an idea of where I want to go next.

Wow! What an amazing find.

Thrifted 360 colors of DMC floss yesterday! 2 yds of each color aaaand impossible to use without wrapping. So guess I’m wrapping. It’s from the 90s. I did need some good mid tones for my great grandma’s portrait.

This one is done. Vintage linen napkin, indigo dyed at the Nook Huddle, taken on vacation and embroidered with whatever I had in my bag of random thread and however I felt like embroidering.

Preparing to start exploring embroidery of faces with my great grandma Tillie. I watched the nook workshop by @sorrellck.bsky.social. I doubt I will follow all of anyone’s advice but it was lovely to watch and a good start.

Thank you!

Vacation project: about home and Montana and staying with my 80 yo parents

Day 6: Montana in the summer is relentlessly sunny
