I decided to order some 4mm flat sequins, so when they finally arrive from China (hopefully within a month), I'll start embellishing!
Advent Calendar start
So I started making this advent calendar in the last week of November. As if there was even the slightest chance I would have it done in time for Christmas 2017! But at least it'll be ready for Christmas this year. Better late than never? Other instagrammed photos of progress:

When the boy tore his pants, I saw an opportunity to try my hand at it. I put a piece of cotton jersey behind the tear and blanket stitched the… Continue reading This thing called boro
Next!
I should be making new clothes for myself (Liesl + Co is 25% off today!) or for the kid, or sorting my scraps, or finishing a quilt that was started for someone not in my life anymore. Should. But my sister has been waiting for her promised quilt for a decade now. So I'm prepping… Continue reading Next!
Winding Ways completed and delivered
So I finally finished this quilt! Technically, I finished this on September 29th, but I've been slow to post because I had a minor disaster with my photos. I lost the majority of my photos from our recent trip to Hawai'i and the quilt photos were amongst the lost files. I've finally given up on… Continue reading Winding Ways completed and delivered
2 corners done, 2 to go
Not much to say other than this quilt will be done very, very soon!
