I Was Not, Among My Kind, Distinctive

My left hand believed it could hold my right when the hammer. My right hand believed it could hold my left when the fire. I failed to reach my sister’s hand before she died.

Sneak peek at my next embroidery project: A self-drafted design!

I'm so excited to start turning my own art into physical patterns, and I'm really happy with the results!

Does anyone collect pretty vintage hankies?
Folding them into a butterfly, is one way to feature them in a quilt.

Vintage Hankie Butterfly Block Quilt Pattern Tutorial from Victoriana Quilt Designs

You know how when you were 15 you hated getting useful Christmas presents like socks and #handkerchiefs, you wanted money instead? Well, now that I'm 50 I am very grateful for the handkerchiefs my mother made me for Christmas. She recycled some old table cloths to make them, they're a good heavy #cotton unlike most commercial hankies, and having now used one of them for the first time I can confirm that they do an excellent job of soaking up #snot.

I love this pretty belt buckle & matching button, I get to be creative with, on my Bits & Bobs wallhanging. 😍👏💙💖

Happy weekend stitching! 🥰🪡🧵

I finally found this bucket full of yummy trims! 👏😍
I’ll be digging through it to use for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt, that I’m going to work on in 2024! 🥰💙💖
