I’ve been taking #maiwa’s class Print and Paint with Natural Dyes and having a lot of fun experimenting. Here is some mordant printing.

Just finished my new #oylashirt from @paper_theory. Instruction booklet was pretty minimal but combined with the video, I don’t think I had any huge mistakes!

I have a new travel bag! I finished the #portsideduffle from @grainlinestudio.bsky.social on the last day of my vacation. Canvas from Overseas Fabrics. I can’t wait to travel with it!

I didn’t have any finishes at the retreat due to poor planning, but I did make a lot of progress on a lot of things so hopefully there are more finishes in my future. Here’s a mini quilt that will be part of our Bellingham Modern Quilt Guild show at the Lynden Library in May. #quiltsky #modernquilt

Do you love living in the great state of Washington? Let's keep it that way! HB1584 is attempting to do away with mail in voting and return to in-person only. Sound like bullshit? That's because it is! Let your reps know just how much bullshit it is here

I made a starter pack for other sewists migrating over from meta-based apps. Includes home sewists, independent pattern designers, and some fabric merchants. If you have adds, please share them with me so we can grow the list!
