Q: Why do Christmas trees make bad sewers*?

A: Because they keep dropping their needles!

*also works for knitters, stitchers, quilters,....

I hope Santa, your loved ones, a friend, or maybe just yourself gave you some new tools, materials, supplies, books, classes, or maybe just time for your most favourite hobby.

I love this time of year...holiday busyness hasn't gotten overwhelming, the darkness isn't too dark, and winter hasn't dragged on forever yet. Sewing and working on projects feels awesome. 

Last week had some great projects shared. Thanks everyone!

It was a modest but mighty group linking up last week, but I'm always glad to see what is going on all over our vast country. 

I find this time of year odd but lovely. It's fall (which I love) but not yet winter (which is also pretty awesome). There's a scheduling lull...nothing much going on but not quite yet Hanukkah/Christmas/Solstice. A good time for some hot tea and stitching I think.

This blog is to share all sorts of fibre arts but I think we all know that I'm a quilter, and a modern quilter at that. It's crunch time right now, trying to finish a couple of quilts to submit for QuiltCon 2018 (the really big show) in Pasadena. 

I suppose I should just link up what I'm working on right?

Well done on your projects last week everyone! I saw some new projects and some experimenting, some aged WIPS and some classes.

End of October means Hallowe'en! If you have littles that likely means costumes of some sort. Store bought and accessorized or masterpieces crafted from scratch...I hope yours works out the way you planned. 

I have one costume to make (plus one for me!?! for work). Thankfully my little one is just using bits from the dressup box. 

Or does Hallowe'en mean treats and staying home to sew and create?

Happy almost Wednesday folks!

I was planning to feature a picture and project from last week's link ups but I couldn't pick just one! What an interesting variety of styles and textile arts. You are all amazingly talented. 

Thank you for sharing with us. And if you'd like to do so again this week...

Pesky computer/calendar gremlins! Linkup now up and running. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Long weekends usually means extra sewing time if you're lucky. Not so lucky me got to work so please share your projects and let me live vicariously through your creativity. 

I got out my fall scarf today; it's a double sided infinity loop. I made it a couple of years ago from the softest voile you can imagine. Every year I am thrilled to wear it again. And it reminds me that creativity and making can take any form, not just quilting. Or embroidery. Or beading or papermaking or whatever it is that you do.

I'm having cooler weather in my part of Canada, which means I get to add another quilt to the bed! Funny how quilts are a summer covering in [I believe] most of Canada.

And to be completely honest, the second blanket is a knitted one someone made for my daughter. What? I like to mix my crafts! And I'm completely in awe of people who can do things like knit blankets. And sweaters and shawls and embroider...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have luckily (no small thing with kids underfoot constantly) been able to sew recently. I'm nearly done a scrappy quilt, and I need to make some shorts for both my kids. Sparkle stretch denim of course! What are you working on?

Did you see what number this is? 300. 300 weeks is a LOT of weeks. 

That converts to ~2,100 days. Or 69 months. Or 5.75 years. I can't access the old link up central site from that far back but a very low estimate would be ~3,000 different projects linked up.

Think about how much creativity, beauty, frustration, successes, and how many completed projects we have shared with each other. Yay you guys! Yay us!

To celebrate a bit I freshened up the look of the blog a bit. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome (you can email me here) but I hope you like it.
