Be still my heart! 😍🥰👏🧡💚 These hexie flowers begin as circles of fabric. I’ll be sharing how you can make them in Thursday’s video. 🪡🧵 #quilting #sewing #handstitching #embroidery #embellishing

I was warned, that this could happen, so I’ve been extra careful… This morning my eyes were admiring my latest embroidery, when it happened — I cut my scissor fob in half. 😢 #quilting #sewing #handstitching #embroidery #embellishing

The wooden shoes pincushion & thimble holder, I posted this morning (on my fb page) made me think of my personalized key chain, that I’ve had, since I was twelve (thank you Sylvia! 🥰). It’s come in handy, a few times, when I wanted to ‘knock on wood’. 😁❤️

I’m making a few different sizes of hexagons. I did not mean to make one this small! 😂 That’s a one inch square, it’s sitting in. 🥰🧡 #quilting #sewing #hexies #embellisments

@mark-carney.bsky.social Thank you for allowing the April carbon tax payment to be given out. PP always ignored, how helpful it was to many! I blame him, for your need to make that change — he’s made the subject toxic. 🤞❤️🇨🇦

#sewing is a superpower — just ask anyone that sews how many times they’ve been asked to do repairs on clothing, by others. 😁🪡🧵 Happy International Women’s Day! 🥰👏❤️ #quilting #sewing #InternationalWomensDay
