Tag Your Friends (Crafty Show & Tell) - TTMT #569 - nmjewells - October ...

This week I talk about meeting up with friends this past weekend in Houston for International Quilt Festival. I was so excited to finally get to meet Jeanie in person, she's been part of out group here at TTMT for so long, and it was lovely to finally get to hang out with her and Jennifer R and Dominae and of course my bestie Jennifer O. We exchanged some gifts (I made luggage tags from this tutorial) and shopped, but mostly talked and talked. It was sort of a whirlwind trip, with me leaving Thursday morning and returning home Saturday night.

Things I talk about this week:

Zipper pulls from Threadcutterz

Embroidery patterns by Punkin Patch Craft Designs

My new Rotary Cutter from Linda's Electric Quilters

Rosie's Art Studio: Let's Create a Luggage Tag

Stay Crafty Y'all

Love,

Jewells

Project Teaser (Crafty Show & Tell) - TTMT #568 - nmjewells - October 7,...

This week I'm just popping in to say hi and tease a project I'll be able to show you next week. I've been upcycling clear vinyl bag holders that we used to use at the shop where I work back when we offered sewing machine repair. We used to use them to hold the paperwork so we could easily identify whose machine was whose. We haven't had a repair tech for well over a year now, and these badge holders have just been sitting around waiting for a new purpose. Well I found one and I will talk about that and show you what I made next week. If you happen to be at International Quilt Festival this weekend and see me wandering around, feel free to say hi!

Stay crafty, y'all.

Love,

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!

Love,

@nmjewells

I spent the most of the last week of March and first week of April in Tokyo with my daughter, Miss P, as I tagged along with her as she traveled there for her study abroad semester. There's a lot more tell than show in this video, but I talk about some of the places I visited with and without her, and show some of the things I purchased.
