“Make Do and Mend.” Eighteen years ago I moved to Australia, and since I couldn’t yet get a job, I hand sewed a quilt. It was made from old shirts and bedsheets, and I was really proud. Over time some of the fabric started to wear through, so tonight I added the first patches. And why not make it visible? So there are now three red squares, and I’m sure there’ll be more in the future. There’s another one moved from the mending pile…

@girlgerms @notessensei Hey @knitterjp it’s your fave phrase!
Trying to decide if my stubborn dedication to ratting on @GoGet users who don’t leave 1/4 tank in the car makes me an overly sanctimonious jerk or the last bulwark of common decency in these troubled times.
@starbuxman What’s your record for staying in one place over the last few years?? I reckon you’re gonna break it! 😱

Back in January, I was checking out my Mom’s shop – The Quilt Shop at the Essenhaus in Middlebury, Indiana – when I saw she had some quilted fabric books made up for children. Each one was made from a single fabric panel that had all the directions printed right on it. Since I know lots of folks having babies, I bought four of them and brought them home. I’ve since made up two of them, and I recorded the process for Bella’s!
If you’d like to make your own, here are some more of the panels at the Quilt Shop site. (They have others that aren’t online; just get in touch and I’m sure they can help you out.) Beyond that they’re pretty basic, and the only fancy thing I did was use my new sewing machine to embroider Bella’s and my names on the back. A fun and rewarding little project! ❤️
@ChrisShort Yup. Click on Effects and then keep scrolling.

A few weeks back I made a “hug book” for Bella, the daughter of my friends @JJ and his wife Pri. I recorded the process and last night I put it into a little video. Thanks JJ and Pri for sharing the clip of Bella! ❤️
And if you want to make your own hug book, the Essenhaus Quilt Shop in Middlebury, Indiana has lots of panels and supplies, and would be happy to send you them via mail order!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY E-RI!! 🎈
