Been designing a baby quilt with a woodland creatures theme. So grateful to have this distraction to provide mental breaks from my focusing on all the current sad events. The designs are combination of machine applique and embroidery on Bernina software. Also learning my new sewing machine. I made this mockup sketch to help me balance the colors. #machineapplique
Why Do You Care?
⦠if a stranger chooses to gender transition.
⦠if a stranger chooses to have an abortion, for whatever their reasons.
⦠if a stranger travels here and stays, builds a peaceful and productive life for whatever reason.
If you are living in relative comfort and safety, ask yourselfâ¦.
Why Donât You Care
⦠That countless folks like you, are forced to choose between financial ruin or going without life saving drugs and healthcare due to astronomical high healthcare costs while health insurance companies and their executives make record high profits and salaries.
⦠That our children go to school with the very real possibility of gun violence.
⦠That purchasing a home has become unattainable for the vast majority of hardworking people.
⦠That the cost of food, and other necessities are so high, that many hardworking people are walking around hungry and cold on a regular basis.
Ask yourself what motivates you to care so much about issues so far removed from you, to the point that you prioritize those issues that effect so few of us, over the issues that effect so many more of your fellow family, friends, and neighbors.
Ask yourself why do you care? And ask yourself Why donât you care more about issues that confront many more people?
Alternate rebellion!
Anyone else still finishing up Christmas sewing. Here is pile of fleece socks. Sewn on Bernina L890 and coverstitched with my babylock applaud. Loving Superior thread poly yarn for some extra stretch. Socks are on the way, Mike and Sue! #ispwearefinished
So happy! Just picked up my new machine, from a new Bernina dealer, Quilt Perfect in Bow, NH. Excellent sales and service! Highly recommend! Ordered August 30th.
Done! I started out intending to make myself 3 pairs of leggings. Did not order enough fabric, so I had to order more fabric. This time I got enough fabric so I could make 6 pairs of leggings. Finished all 6, only to discover I used wrong stitch settings on the hems, making them very difficult to pull on over my feet. I unpicked all 12 hems in triple cover stitch and poly stretch thread which was painful. I then restitched the hems. This project is finally done! I persevered! Fabric from #amandasbundles. Pattern from #apostrophepatterns. Motivation to finish this project from #ISPWeAreFinished
Gorgeous linen arrived from Seoul, South Korea from The Linen Lab. My first order and I am very pleased. A large plaid and a double faced tweed both in linen. Reasonably priced and arrived in less than 2 weeks. Cannot wait to sew these up. #thelinenlab
Itâs done, and in time for Thanksgiving dinner. So thankful for family and friends, especially my husband Patrick. I am also thankful for my Bernina sewing machine and its buttonholer and ruffler capabilities. I am grateful for the pattern designers and the size inclusive offerings. The is the Jenna dress from Closet Core. The fabric is Merchant and Mills linen. It is wonderful to work with and was purchased at Fiddlehead Artisans in Belfast, Maine. It is an absolute favorite shop! #fiddleheadartisansupply #merchantandmills #bernina770qe
Good day in sewing studio⦠my sleeve plackets are pretty good match⦠loving this make⦠$$$$ Merchant and Mills linen which feels scrumptious and is a dream to sew on. I am a self proclaimed queen of bargain fabrics and deadstock, but once in a great while I splurge! And it was so worth it! Stay tuned for finished piece.
Finished another button up shirt for my Patrick. A bit late anniversary gift. It is Plaiditudes flannel from Joannâs and linen for linings and sleeve placket. A true labor of love⦠wear it in good health!
