Had a blast getting to meet one of my favorite authors- I highly recommend everyone read Seanan McGuire’s books and know that she will write at least 3 more in the time it takes for me to post this 😂 thank you for coming to Raleigh!
Author Seanan McGuire is sitting at a gray signing table and I am posing low next to her. Seanan is wearing a black dress with pumpkins on it and an orange n95 mask. I am wearing red pants, a blue shirt with red cherries, and a black kn95 mask with a jewelry chain across the front. The background is a brick fireplace and shelves of books.

Oh my gosh I thought I was looking at a photo of my boy for a second. I’ve always guessed he’s a fruit bat demon hybrid

1/100 - #the100dayproject

Cut and sewed a log cabin block
47 minutes (I’m personally tracking my time because I’m interested to see how many hours of my hobby the challenge means I get to do 💕)

Going to try and do a #the100dayproject - spending 20-30 minutes in my sewing room doing something. Hoping that is vague enough that it gives me rest days to not wreck my wrists- and I reserve the right to drop out whenever 😅🥲
A piece of white paper with a teal grid across it listing the numbers 1-100. Has a title saying The 100 Day Project. Background is a purple gridded cutting mat

Rare snow day round 2 - hand binding my in progress quilt as an excuse to be extra snuggly (after playing fetch in the yard with baby boy who apparently loves snow)

My right hand has rubber thimbles on the thumb and pointer and is holding a threaded needle A medium sized black dog smiling at the camera in a snowy yard. He has snow on his face. He had a cute orange, navy, and green plaid bandana on. He has insisted we play fetch in the cold for a long time

Spent a rare snow day stitching up a little embroidery. Not pictured- my old boy snoozing on the floor next to us. (The young boy was banned from the room because he kept trying to steal the hoop)

Buying queer books at my local bookstore like it’s my goddamn civic duty (and honestly it kind of is?)

Quilted! This is only the 3rd bug quilt I’ve done with a walking foot and there’s been years between each one so the quilting is janky for sure but I’m still pretty pleased

The front and back of a lap quilt - the fabric is one of the Ruby Star society collections and the back is speckled pink. The quilting is a 4” grid. It’s not done yet!

Hand holding up a book style supply case- it’s about 6x9 in dimensions. It is pink patchwork with wavy lines of quilting. The background of the photo has a sewing machine, a spider plant, and hints of my sweet kitty in the corner. Hand holding up a book style supply case- it’s about 6x9 in dimensions.

Quote post- without downloading any new pics where are you mentally
Screenshot of a tumblr post that shows a cross stitch that says “this is fine” and zoomed in the words are made up of “fuck fuck fuck” in tiny lettering. The screenshot says “finished a new piece. I think it speaks to my state of mind. Notice the fine details :)”

I’m not usually a bag or trinket maker but this is hella fun- I’m excited to put it together. When I’m cursing at zippers in a few days remind me that I was excited 😅

A variety of fabrics cut out into specific sizes for a sewing project. They are mostly pink patterned fabrics but there are some solids and one blue one. They have pieces of paper clipped to them labelling what cut out piece they are.

Patchwork design that is 2.5 inch squares within a larger diamond shape. The squares are a mix of multicolored scraps all very bright and the strips making up the diamond are a soft sage green. The patchwork is sitting on top of a blue grid cutting mat.
