TTMT #591 - nmjewells - July 21, 2026 - Embiggened Heart & Geese (Crafty Show & Tell)

Hey look at that, I'm posting 2 weeks in a row! This week is a relatively short video about the quilt project I started last week for which I got some piecing done at Paper Piecing Club on Thursday. Probably not a ton of sewing/crafting happening this week as this Saturday is the Hip Stitch Birthday Bash. July 1st marked 18 years since Hip Stitch opened in its original location, and so we're celebrating with a big party this weekend with prize giveaways, a tattoo artist, craft fair, sewing machine maintenance demos, cake, and League of Women's Voters will be registering people to vote. It's going to be fun! And then, of course, I will need a nap, lol.

Stay Crafty Y'all

Love,

TTMT #590 - nmjewells - July 14, 2026 - Dragon Jeans (Crafty Show & Tell)

Hey I'm back! AND I'm wearing my newly reconstructed "Dragon Jeans". I really love how these jeans turned out and I can't wait to do more recon projects like this. I used part of a Fireglow charm pack from Moda. This collection has flown out of the shop where I work faster than a herd (flock?) of dragons, so we ordered another casepack from the reprint that's arriving in the store at the end of October. I truly love these jeans but I think my next reconstructed jeans will use scraps/orphan blocks again instead of stuff all from one collection. I love that scrappy look.

Stay crafty y'all

Love,

nmjewells

You can get my tee AND the Fireglow fabrics at Hip Stitch!
