Quiet Quilting

As many of you know, I recently left California for the forests of New England. The move started in June and was supposed to be completed in July, but instead our things just arrived a few days ago (for future readers: as I type this it is nearing the end of August). I had planned on finishing a quilted shawl I started in California so I could talk about that this week, but instead I am only just starting on the hand quilting in between bouts of unpacking.

If you're interested, you can read all about how I made a palm thimble & how you can make one, too! It really helped me with sewing a coaster, a scarf, &, currently, a shawl. Come to think of it, this would have helped a lot in making zokin, as well!

Side by side photos of a green-blue-purple-black patchwork scarf, draped over a hanger to display the rows and rows of running stitches in black thread.

If you aren't interested in sewing, great news! I have written about a lot of other things, as well!

I am going to spend today resting & listening to audio books while I sew. I am currently listening to The Citadel by M. A. Robbins. Zombie apocalypse stories are my absolute favorite! Do you have a zombie recommendation for me? Let me know on Mastodon or Ko-Fi!

Have a fantastic day, draw something for my art challenge, see you next week!
