Saw an exhibit last Sunday of Penny Sisto's quilts. The docents said people give her their scrap fabric so she can create away. She makes ~200 quilts a year. Here's one, titled "Kat." Penny hails from the Orkney Islands. Web site: Penny Sisto | Offical Website share.google/PnPbmc8ksRvK...

Yes! I love quilts. My friend, her mum, and her aunt came together to make me a quilt after Dad died, and it's so special - I really feel the love and the strength of the sisterhood in it.

Arent they! I love how creative people are. I wouldn't have thought the scraps would've been much use, but it just goes to show... What do I know??

How hard can it be?

I reckon it could be. There must be a sock pattern that can be adapted.

Omg! Beowulf socks! Brilliant! I'm definitely adding them to my project list. 🤩

I think it'd work well as little stained glass design patterns.

Thanks, it's Rust & Wreckage by Tangled Pixie on Etsy.

Quite often boats that have cat residents have little ladders or long rope fenders for them to climb if they fall in.

I did! Good to see them looking out for our cat-kin. :)

I misread it as ducks and thought, yeah, they're pretty haunted.

It's such a shame that Twitter changed so much.

I am! Things, on the other hand, don't seem to change much around here!

Hello!

I need to hang out here and not get sucked into watching all the drama over there! Loving the calm vibes here.
