Go ahead and close your eyes, squint just a little, and you might be able to pick out the intricate poinsettia design in this quilt. The fabrics I chose are overwhelming and I wish so badly I had used some calm solids. I don't think I took a picture when I finished it, but it has a black backing and special flower stitching around the binding. Hopefully I'll make another Christmas quilt next year and redeem myself. You win some and you lose some.
For whatever random reason I got it in my head that I needed to try making something from leather. I'm not sure where the thought came from, but I found a pattern on Etsy for a leather wallet I could cut with my glowforge, and I got some leather, and created this beauty. Why? I really can't say. I do like the stitching and could see how people can really enjoy this. If I had something to hold it steady while using both hands to stitch this project would've been a lot of fun. If it were something I was invested in it would definitely be worth purchasing high-quality materials and tools to make it successful. I powered through and am satisfied with my project, though, and that's always my goal.
I am putting this here because my blog is a journal of my experiences.
Don't overcook clay when making earrings. It will be awhile before I pick this craft up again.
Over the summer I found the most gorgeous bee inspired fabric from Moda, by Gingiber. I have been following a tikoker who challenged herself...
