Summer 2026 recap HAGS

How was your summer? It’s October?!

Work-related recap:

  • Kid’s summer classes - fishie bag, monster stuffies, whale stuffies

  • A lot of natural dye! Foraging walks (plus found pile of shoes, stack of wood as sculpture), natural dye workshop in my backyard with ecoprinting on silk, cauldrons brewing

  • My favorite safety vest commission of the season - lavender, turquoise and hot pink!

  • Dye class at Camp Craftaway

  • Pojagi style patchwork class

  • Quilting another quilt for Erica on the longarm :)


Non-work-related recap:

  • Sewing in groups - Quilt Club and a little garment alteration hang with friends

  • Kites! Kite workshop with Biz at the Lloyd Center and big Kite Fest on the coast with my friends and family and Kite Fest with Biz at Broughton Beach. I got to wear a matching vest with a kite that Biz made, it was perfect and magical~

  • My favorite tiny dogs

  • My dahlias I grew myself, and then me turning into a dahlia at the Swan Island dahlia farm

  • Rainbow float living its best life with me at the river every chance I got

  • Towel romper that took me 100 years to make and now it’s my favorite thing and it’s perfect. It’s so fun to go to the river in all me-made stuff!

  • Survivor Party at my sister’s, an excellent annual tradition

  • My twin turned 35 ;)

  • Picnics! Pedalpalooza rides!


See you out there? At a class in Portland, OR!

I’m trying a new layout for photos to see if it’s better for your emails/telephones. Hopefully it works because it was more work for me! Until next time~
