Hey creative campers! I’m packing my bags and he Hey creative campers! I’m packing my bags and heading north again to teach at @urbancraftuprising’s Camp Thundercraft, April 24th through the 26th. It’s a small business retreat on Vashon Island - just across the water from Seattle. This year my brilliant and talented friend @lisasolomon will be delivering the keynote and I’ll be teaching two hands-on workshops (Embroidering on the Photographic Image and Circular Weaving) alongside a number of talented colleagues. If you’re in the Pacific Northwest consider joining us for a weekend of workshops to hone your small business skills, learn new crafting techniques and connect with other creative makers. CampThunderCraft.com #campthundercraft2020
How many of you are attending #Craftcation2020 in How many of you are attending #Craftcation2020 in April?! 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏽🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️ I’ll be there teaching (multiple sessions) of two new classes including Embroidering on Photographic Images - an opportunity to explore how stitched embellishments can tell stories, create humor and enhance photos that have been tucked away in albums for years. What’s exceptionally exciting to me is that my friends at @spoonflower are making it possible for Craftcation participants to pre-order fabric custom printed with their own photos (at no additional charge!) for use in the class. Craft workshop registration opens at 10am PT on February 29 – set your alarms! Can’t wait to see you there. ☺️❤️🎉
[UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed and the winne [UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been notified. Thank you so much to everyone that entered!] 🎉GIVEAWAY!🎉 Did you know one of the best ways to iron your embroidery is to place a bath towel on your ironing surface, flip over your sampler so it lays stitches down, and then gently iron over the back of your work.  The towel adds that little bit of cushion so all of your beautiful stitches aren’t flattened! ❤️✂️❤️ To help you beautifully finish your embroidery (and to spread a little Valentine’s Day love!), I’ve teamed up again with my friends at @olisohome to give away one of their full-size, PINK Smart Irons!  This little engineering marvel is pressure sensitive, so that when you release the handle it pops-up on it’s own little feet - preventing your fabric and work surface from being scorched.  No more setting the iron up on end. Magic. ❤️✂️❤️ Want to win? Here’s how enter: FOLLOW @olisohome and @robert_mahar LIKE this post COMMENT with your favorite love emoji (Get creative!) ❤️✂️❤️ One lucky winner will be chosen at random and announced on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at 9pm PST. This giveaway is open to US residents only. (This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Instagram).
❤️ So, I’m delighted to be returning to one ❤️ So, I’m delighted to be returning to one of the prettiest workrooms in all of Seattle! Pacific Northwest friends, you are officially invited to come stitch with me at @drygoodsdesign on April 28. We’ll be exploring the world of anatomical embroidery and you’ll be able to select one of five different samplers to stitch. Link in my bio for complete info - would love to see you there! ❤️
🎶”Stitch your name across my heart…”🎶 🎶”Stitch your name across my heart…”🎶 (With apologies to Terence Trent D’Arby! 😆🤷‍♂️) A new version of my Blackberry Heart Sampler features a blank ribbon banner allowing you to embroider the text of your choice - perhaps the name of your Valentine? In my online shop now and ready to ship - link in bio. ❤️🧵❤️ You can write the text of your choice freehand in pencil or with a disappearing ink marker and then stitch over your markings. OR! Create text on your computer using your favorite font, print it out and then transfer to fabric using a iron-on pencil or pen. The fine-tip iron-on transfer pen from @sublimestitching is my favorite.
Rather than tackle a list of New Year’s resoluti Rather than tackle a list of New Year’s resolutions, for 2020 I’ve challenged myself to take more creative workshops and develop some new hands-on skill sets. ✨ To that end I have enrolled myself in a series of stained glass classes (inspired in part by a faux stained glass project I shared with you a few weeks back!) Thanks to @janelfooglassworks for the encouragement! So far, I’m in love. 😍 I know there’s a honeymoon phase I tend to go through with any new craft genre 😆 - but I’m 100% enjoying the practice of learning. Anyone else have a craft workshop on the calendar? 🖌✂️🛠🎨
