Happy New Year? This was finished on Jan 1, but it never made it to a post. after a long unintentional break from socials, there are several posts with exciting news to catch up on. I wanted something to express the chaotic nature of 2025’s start. This year’s marker was made using the wonderful numbers from the fpp pattern designed by Catalina of and some of my favourite prints from

Yesterday’s St Stephen’s Day Sampler Stitching. Hand stitching is always a welcome break, especially outside in December. This handled wooden box is the business for keeping thread clean and ready to go (plus has space for losts of samplers). I am hoping for a lot more porch sewing days in 2025!

There are only a few more days to get out and VOTE! Please make your vote count. I am loving this VOTE quilt pattern by and the colourful reminder to make your voice heard. The VOTE quilt was an easy choice to make as part of the 3-2-1 challenge, using 3+ colours of thread, 2+ different thread weights of each colours, and all in 1 project. The pattern’s FPP letter were quick to sew using mostly CF scraps, and I added in some purple for all of the things that should be nonpartisan. Adding a variety of thread weights and colours made a great challenge and made me step outside my typical 🧵picks.
