This Week’s Thread – 3/22/21

I’m so easily distracted it seems like every project in the world is grabbing my attention and now I’m fixated on getting into loom weaving. Wouldn’t it be cool to make my own fabric and then embroider it?? (Everyone: “You do not have time for that!”) Needless to say, I have to finish my currentContinue reading “This Week’s Thread – 3/22/21”

This Week’s Thread – 3/16/21

Yes, I’m a day late. (Edit: Or at least I would have been only a day late if I had remembered to hit “post” when I finished writing!) This past week started and ended with a bang… between daylight savings, various urgent medical appointments, and a child that just… Will. Not. Sleep….

Quilt for Child #2 I did it! I FINALLY finished this project that’s been hanging around for ages! I’mContinue reading “This Week’s Thread – 2/22/21”

This Week’s Thread – 2/15/21

Here I’m hoping to stick to a posting schedule each week where I’ll ramble a bit about the current and upcoming projects I’m doing for Odd Thread Designs. Current Projects My current projects are probably too numerous given that I’m trying to limit the number of “active” projects I have to only 1-2 so thatContinue reading “This Week’s Thread – 2/15/21”
