Spent the day with a great group of students learning about different ways to get inspired by color at the Evanston Art Center!

New addition to my VSM family! Needs a new drive pulley, already on order, and it's missing the accessory box with accessories. I think I'm in love! 💚💚💚

I've updated my LinkTree with a handful of free springtime projects including these cute fabric berry baskets. Quick to sew and they make great gifts! Find the link 🔝 in the profile.

Monday's lesson in the new Artistic Sewing Machine Techniques class at Evanston Art Center is making scrap fabric with wash-away stabilizer. I was just stacking the samples for class when the sun lit them up from the back, and dude, they look amazing! Can't wait to teach this technique!

Fooling around with transparency designs on graph paper. Looks different IRL.

Made this quilt in response to the events of 2020, still seems very relevant today.

Always wanted a red denim jacket! Thrifted a worn jacket for 7 bucks, over dyed it with a dark red hue, and replaced the buttons. It's a funky color but I like it!

Watched the sun rise, still in bed to watch President Carter's service live.

Sew strips of fabric into tubes, press them flat, and fold them into little stars for holiday decorations. Find the free tutorial at the LinkTree in my profile.

Good Friday the 13th morning. I got up early, showered, dressed, breakfasted, and got back in bed - same as my cats. 😺

Happy frigid Chicago morning! Got up early to give my teen a ride to school, came back home, and got right back in my warm bed.

That is the extent of my planning for the day.
