We are coming to the end of the first pay period of Trumps GOP led shutdown. Many families can’t survive a missed paycheck. If you know of a crafter whose family is affected by the shutdown, tag them so we can support them.

I have been quilting for 20+ years and never sewed the same ends of my binding strip together to make a circle. I went to iron it and just had to laugh at myself wondering why I had 2 pieces instead of one.

Today’s commuting stitch. I have been cross stitching so much, I developed an indent on my finger. I love this pattern - it has all my favorite DMC blues, but for some reason I keep finding stitches I have missed.

Pattern: Fire and Water dragon by @craftwithcartwright

The world lost an amazing soul this week. This Jane Goodall quote has been on my list to create a pattern for months, so I moved it up.

The borders represent the Tanzanian flag, where she studied chimpanzees.

I was so busy Sunday I didn’t have the chance to share my booth. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, especially some of my repeat customers. This year I was so grateful to have wonderful friends who helped us set up & chilled with my husband & daughter. Thank you @saratogapool.

Seriously RFK the lesser, resign as HHS secretary. You are not qualified to lead that agency.

You can get this as a pin or magnet in my Etsy shop or Ko-fi shop.
