End of Fall 2025 Update
I always forget how much of a black hole the time between Thanksgiving and New Years is, but here we are and I feel myself falling deeper into that black hole. But I’m poking my head out to write this blog post!
Mostly because I want my local PDXers to know that I am hosting a reflective fish making craft night on Wednesday December 10th to make some fish for my Winter Light Festival installation. More info below!
October highlights include:
Finishing my Looperette quilt class. So many big quilts in that class! Very proud of everybody!
First time trying to dye with fresh indigo - that my sister grew!
Kiddo lunch bag class
We have cotton flannel at my drapery job and I decided to try dyeing some of the scraps to then use as “unpaper towels”. It works great!
Big tote commission for my friend Amy
Crochet cobweb at my house
Picket fence pieces for the border of my quilt that I promised myself I would finish this winter. I’m getting closer!
November highlights include:
Re-using the dust skirt I made for a bed about 10 years ago. I already started cutting into it so it doesn’t quite reach anymore, but good enough!
Skillet mitten prep for Reclaim It’s holiday market
Decided to be bolder and hemmed a knit sweater! I love it now~
Thanksgiving crafts at my sister’s - I made a pom pom frame
Darning class successes
Adventure Star quilt class is almost done!
Things to look forward to:
