Fun with my Friends Crafty Show & Tell (TTMT #555) July 1, 2025
I'm back from almost a week in Austin, Texas where I visited my BFF and friend of over 30 years and her family (Jennifer O) and we did some thrifting and some LQS shopping. We also took a short road trip to visit a mutual friend, Jennifer R, in the Houston area! There's nothing better than getting away from work and recharging with your friends. Stay crafty, yall!

This week I'm showing you the sashing fabric I purchased at Hip Stitch for a sampler quilt using my 5inch blocks from this year's PP Club Pattern Series.
Help support my daughter's study abroad experience in Japan (she's there now!). There are still a few physical items and patterns for which she will receive the proceeds. She's also currently getting the proceeds from any of my pattern sales, including the 2025 PP Club Pattern series. I've already added June's block, Hexplay!
Stay crafty!

All of the scrappy, string-pieced wedges are done! Now I'm working on preparing them for insertion into my color wheel of destiny, so that when I spin the wheel they don't come flying out. So it's not finished, but the sewing part is finished, anyway.
Stay crafty y'all!

TTMT #550 - @nmjewells - May 27, 2025 - Strings & Things (Crafty Show & ...
Sorry I missed you last week, I've been working on something I can't show yet, but I did have some crafty time over the past week or so, and that's what I talk about in this video. I took a class last week with an out of town instructor and had a great time making art quilt bookmarks. Then this past weekend I started making string pieced wedges for a new color wheel of destiny to use at future scrappy sewcials. All in all a much craftier time for me lately. I also got rid of some of my personal scraps by adding them to the color sorted baskets at Scrappy Sewcial, and yesterday I color sorted the remining giant bag of scraps from my project room into ziploc bags and have them all in a single big tote bag to grab and sew with when I want/need a little bit of a color.

TTMT #549 - nmjewells - May 13, 2025 - Here Comes the Sun (Crafty Show &...
In which I show my next 5inch finished block that I'll be distributing this Thursday at Paper Piecing Club, "Here Comes the Sun". "Here Comes the Sun" makes a quarter of a sun design. You can use it as a single 5inch block, pair it with a second one to make a rising or setting sun, or make 4 and sew them together into a 10" finished full sun block! PDF pattern will be available for download soon.
January - April's blocks are already available on the Hip Stitch website
