Also I really love the bear paws and I think it will turn out wonderful with either direction!

I’d vote without. I like the more concentrated visual energy of the bear paws closer together.

Ooh! I’d love to see it!

I can relate!

I think social media sets us up for unrealistic expectations with this. Most people are not starting and finishing a quilt in a week, especially if working around a job or kids. But I understand the goal of wanting to finish projects, too… sorry I don’t have advice for that part 😆

“handed down from my mother” 😂 what a legacy! Feel better soon.

The folding!✨The color organization! ✨I see it!

Needle book

Your book is in my stack of current reads! Really enjoying it and I can’t wait to dive into my next project.

I appreciate seeing this today. I have the unshakable feeling that collapse is already in motion.. but, regardless, we just keep on doing the work, right? I love the wedding ring component in your quilt, it speaks to hope but also commitment & intention.

Same. Today was a lot to process. Your phoenix fabric looks divine!

I have lots but only routinely use 2 or 3 of these (usually one with a hard top + one soft silicone grippy needle puller). The rest make excellent distractions/toy hats for the child when he wants to “help.” I wanted to like the leather thimble but I just don’t… too bulky.
