As you can imagine, Gail has not been sitting still these past few months. She’s been spinning and knitting and quilting and painting and, and, and… She has been learning new techniques for bookmaking and mono printing. Always learning something new. So cool!

Back from a fibre-tastic weekend with 70 of my favourite fibre sisters - the 2nd annual Retreat in Debert! The photos are: swag from the weekend; on my wheel is grey gotland locks blended with variegated silk - so far I’ve done purple, blue, and neon green!

Packing up to go to the Retreat in Debert! Last year was a blast, and I’m looking for more of the same. Little old me is doing a beaded knitting demo for the retreaters! Fibre retreats are the best. The end.

Gail and I are coming out of our winter dens to tell you what we’ve been up to! Early in the year, Gail got excited by “crumb” quilting. These were the ends of the ends of fabric used in other projects, which Gail keeps, colour coordinated, in her sewing room. I was the lucky recipient of her prototype - a gorgeous quilted portfolio in purples and reds. Hooray for learning new things! Her next crumb quilting project is already in progess. Stay tuned for more news about our textile exploits!

Well, on a very snowy morning here, I’m up to my old tricks! I’ll run out of the pink yarn for this sweet pair of vintage pattern child’s socks. So what to do? Rip it back to the heel, and use the only other baby-appropriate yarn I own for the heel and toes. Cross your fingers for me!

Go team! Creative partners are the best! Find us for our FINAL MARKET OF THE SEASON this Sat Dec 3rd from 8:30 to 1pm. We’d love to see you there.
