Took a 5 week class on hand lettering at Goggleworks Center for the Arts . For the final piece, of course I needed to take inspiration from my favorite band, Toad the Wet Sprocket . Learned a bunch and a few new tools in my creative arsenal.

Back at it again. Working on a wristlet for my nibbling. Pink exterior with a space/Aurora interior.

Took me a bit to figure out the cut list, but once did it was easy going. Later this week start sewing it up!

Going to be on FB less and less in 2025. Moving over to BlueSky, so give me a follow there.

This is a heavily interactive web application, and JavaScript is required. Simple HTML interfaces are possible, but that is not what this is.

45 out of 2070 hexies cut. These are the fussy cuts before I get to the blenders and solids. Aiming for around 350 fussy cuts for this quilt.
