Tysm! She's my little potato lol. She definitely will! She's loved blankets ever since she was a tiny pup.

Hand sewing a quilt for my precious angel, Sherry who LOVES blankets lol. I found this adorable hand dyed/printed fabric from India. I picked it bc one of her favorite treats is the freeze dried minnows. Pairing it with a cute blue hearts fabric.

So vibrant and cheerful!

Sewing the edging on this hand sewn tote bag. I made it with a finished sashiko sampler and some pretty blue wave fabric. Nice small project considering I've had zero time to work on anything lately.

Life has been pretty rough lately and I haven't been on here hardly at all. A quick ty to everyone who was kind enough to like my recent posts, it's always appreciated 💕 Hopefully will be more active soon with some current projects.

Not really, no. The ones I got were in absolutely mint condition & show no signs of breaking down or wear. I also have some spooled silk threads i bought in a lot at an antique store & no issues. Tysm! I was really happy with how this quilt turned out. Omg blue velvets and silks sound amazing!

The price didn't seem exorbitant or tarrif heavy to me. The shipping was reasonable and the tax was like less than $7. I think it will just depend on the location and the shop tbh. I recently bought silk threads from Japan and their taxes/shipping seemed higher than this purchase.

My embroidered fabrics from India arrived. Im crying at how beautiful these are 🥹🥰

Lol! I know, I was just going with it 😆 would have dug a good alien abduction story fake or otherwise. I remember growing up watching all those shows too. So wild.

Thanks! It was very fun to embroider and was an idea my youngest daughter came up with lol! Oh damn, when did it happen?

You're welcome! It's beautiful work so far!

Totally did not endlessly scroll through an Etsy shop from India for 20 solid minutes that had a section just with embroidered fabric. And some of them absolutely did not 'accidentally' land in my cart either.

Super cute! Amazing job ✨️

Fabulous in every way ✨️

Simple hand stitching using Sashiko threads in two different colors. I'm working on the short rows now, and the long rows will end up giving it a gingham vibe.

Had to scrap my stitching plans for my quilt because the top kept looking great but the bottom looked like dog shit. Going minimalistic instead, more homey, simple chic.

Definitely not attending too many parties these days myself, but sometimes you remember things that make for a good memory or story to look back on.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner. Love that story btw lol! Sounds like that guy threw some great parties and was very resourceful 😆

Finished this completely hand sewn reversible lap quilt. These top stitching will be small sunbursts in each corner the squares meet using 100% Japanese silk thread from the 1920s.

Thanks! I plan on using some of it on the lap quilt im nearly finished making. Just have one more row of squares to add and then will be using it for the top stitching. I'll be sure to post pics soon 😊

I wish! I love thrifting and buying up vintage fabrics and notions as often as possible. These were actually an Etsy find from a shop that had gotten a hold of an unopened crate of threads from an old clothing factory

Got my vintage, still with their original paper tags, 100% silk threads from the 1920s/30s. 🥹✨️🥰 it is going to be an absolute pleasure to sew with these.

The color pooling on this yarn is so satisfying

Tysm! I will be checking this out. Much appreciated 😊

These are beautiful! I wanted to try nalbinding again, I just can never find any good, easy to follow tutorials/videos.

Tysm! 😊✨️🥹

A pillow I hand sewed and embroidered about 2 yrs ago. Made with thrifted fringed cotton table napkins and thrifted vintage doilies. My mom claimed it before I even had the chance to post it in my shop lol.

Yes they are! I use quite a bit of recycled or upcycled fabric in my projects. A lot of times they are off cuts from woven yardage.

Laying out the next squares for this quilt. These little fabric swatches really make it pop and add lots of character.
