TTMT #527 - @nmjewells - October 22, 2024 - Of Birthdays and Blocks

TTMT #527 - @nmjewells - October 22, 2024 - Of Birthdays and Blocks

In which I show a finished September block from the free TTMT Internet Sampler BoM and talk about my awesome birthday gift from my BFF, 6 different tie-dye shirts!

Since leaving the corporate broadcasting world my "semi-retirement" uniform has become tie-dye, jeans, and sneakers, and @sewhookedjen leaned in for my birthday gift. I definitely recommend you watch her video about making these tees, it's an interesting watch!

Stay crafty, yall!

TTMT #526 - @nmjewells - October 15, 2024 - Of Panels and Pumpkins

TTMT #526 - @nmjewells - October 15, 2024 - Of Panels and Pumpkins

In which I talk about finishing the panel quilt I've been working on and I show an amazing amigurumi from my new-to-crochet daughter. Life is busy but mostly good around here. The nights and mornings are crisp and cool but we are still getting up into the 80s. I've had little time for personal crafting but that will be improving after my upcoming vacation.

Stay crafty y'all and see you next week!

Love, jewells

TTMT #525 - @nmjewells - October 8, 2024 - October TTMTBoM Blocks

TTMT #525 - @nmjewells - October 8, 2024 - October TTMTBoM Blocks

A very brief video in which I show you my October blocks for the TTMT Internet Sampler BoM, which just happen to be the blocks that I submitted, and I hope those of you that are sewing along enjoy making these! I also touch on the Off the Grid panel quilt I'm currently working on. I just need to piece my corner blocks and then sew my block borders together so that I can trim up the panel, add my sashing and then put the whole thing together. Hopefully I'll have a top to show you next Tuesday.

Stay Crafty y'all!

TTMT #524 - @nmjewells - October 1, 2024 - Cats and Birds and Trees

In which I show off new gifties to me from my daughter Miss P as well as the finished 9th Bird block and my first 9 birds all sewn together. I also talk about a current panel quilt I'm working on using my favorite panel pattern and in which I totally forget that this month the TTMT Internet Sampler BoM blocks are the ones I chose and have already pieced, so I guess I'll have to show you those next week. Oh well, lol. Life is currently busy busy, so you'll have to excuse my scattered brain, lol.

Fabrics shown are from Hip Stitch in Albuquerque, NM., and the bird patterns are free from the Wonderfil Threads website. Feel free to DM me for direct links if you have trouble finding anything.

Stay Crafty y'all!
