Because I'm a specialist on Navarre, here's Navarra up close with the added data (green growing circle) of members of the book trade that sold books during 1470-1700 #BookHistory #Navarre #Navarra #Spain #EspaƱa #GIS #DH
I was silly & signed up for the first presentation slot for my #GIS class on Tuesday, so there has been much data wrangling and ArcGIS finagling the past week. But here's at least a look at progress of trying to represent #BookHistory in Spain 1470-1700 #DH
Purple churches: seat of diocese
Orange grad cap: university
Red diamond: Inquisition tribunal
Blue dots changing shape: number of printers in a town
A cohort-mate's friend passed a book scanner down to her which she has promptly passed to me. We've spent the morning setting it up and testing it. It even has a little foot pedal to take the pictures!! I am an unstoppable book historian now! The world is mine to scan!!! Muahahaha! #Books
Finished piecing the top of the latest quilt, now time to machine applique all of the paper pieced hexi-flowers! Anyone have any prefered techniques/stitches for machine applique? This will be my first time doing it!

I really need to get a hobby that does not involve my hands. At the end of writing about 20,000 words in the last 2 weeks bc of finals plus knitting and piano to relax during said finals, my hands are just dead. Thankfully have this cute microwavable heating pad from my mom to use as a wrist rest! #finals #amwriting #knitting #sewing
