    In my newsletter: I’m inviting you to a #Project In my newsletter: I’m inviting you to a #ProjectOfDoom #quiltalong—and this is the latest block. I have to say, hoarding this smidge of @heatherrossinsta mermaids for the past decade was CLEARLY the right choice, because I am FEELING it in this crystal ball. I’m making FIVE of these quilts between now and Christmas 2022–you can join the fun by making just one block every other week and finish on the same schedule! This #HarryPotter bookcase quilt seems to be that one project so many of us really, really want to make but feel overwhelmed even about where to begin—so I’m sharing links, suggestions, and even a little block & fabric analysis in my every-other-week updates via email right to your inbox. Subscribe using the “blog” link in my profile, and share your blocks with #WSPODQAL to see what folks are making!! #quiltersofinstagram
    People. It’s October first and I came here to sa People. It’s October first and I came here to say: we convinced our children to do a family costume AGAIN for a stunning ELEVENTH YEAR IN A ROW but we promise to hardly gloat at all. Details forthcoming but needless to say, we are in rehearsals and it’s EPIC. #familyhalloweencostumes #handmadehalloween
    I am still coasting on the incredible birthday vib I am still coasting on the incredible birthday vibes from last weekend, and spent this week refusing to let them go. A morning of surprise tacos followed by the swimming hole, a solid six hours in a tropical breeze with some of my very favorite people and at least ten fried duck egg rolls, a speakeasy that felt like cocktails at the bottom of an empty pool in the very best way, lots of hand holding, and so much laughing. All so, so good. I feel so grateful and full. Big kisses to all of you for your sweet birthday wishes. And enormous 😘❤️😘❤️😘 to @dadcation who planned the weekend and pulled off surprises and scored the most badass set of rubber spatulas a girl could have asked for, which I did, but who knew they came with steel handles?!?
    Well, the time has come. I’m joining the ranks o Well, the time has come. I’m joining the ranks of the intrepid quilters who have taken on the #projectofdoom Harry Potter quilt.

    “And that’s when I remembered why I’d set it “And that’s when I remembered why I’d set it aside: there was a knot. And not a nice knot, a KNOTTY knot, the kind that can overwhelm you if you’re not in a place to really sit there and tease it apart, and face the fact that as you unknot a knot, you might make it worse before you make it better, you might discover that the strands that are tangled are much more inter-related than you believed, and there’s more work to be done than at first glance. Reader, we have moved into the world of metaphor.” Read the rest in today’s blog post. {Link in profile.} 💛💛💛#knittersofinstagram #essays
    When you’re shooting video and realize the pillo When you’re shooting video and realize the pillow will be in the shot but the “pillow” isn’t actually covered, you just tossed a treasured bit of @pendletonwm over a pillow form two years ago but never got around to making into an actual COVERED pillow. 😳 All of a sudden: it becomes an Urgent Project. Approximately 20 minutes of sewing later and a scrap of navy linen, and tah dahhhhh! Gorgeous zippered pillow cover makes its debut as Background Player in an upcoming @leagueofdressmakers video. (Shout out to @westcoastcrafty, anytime I work with Pendleton wools I always think of you!!! 😘) #behindthescenes #handsewnhome #beforeandafter {Swipe for the before…}

    I set out to be a Responsible Dressmaker and sew a I set out to be a Responsible Dressmaker and sew a muslin of #McCalls7774 before cutting into my dreamy rayon (not pictured) and ended up making the IDEAL dress so now it’s not a muslin, it’s just my new dress!! Took some inches out of the side seams, added a side bust dart and raised the shoulders. The skirt is so full I’ve been legit swanning about the house all day today. Score number sixty four trillion for Team Super Maxi-dress, because this one goes allllll the way to the floor. Read more on my blog! {Link in profile} #sewyourownclothes #patternalterations

All thread degrades over time, and the friction of your sewing needle can wear older thread faster, causing snags, breaks, and frustration. Which is, like, super uncool.
