(The header image is not my project, but from the free WordPress images collection for use by bloggers on this platform) Hello friends, I recently came across a podcast that was titled “The Art of Unfinishing” (funny how algorithms work). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0021qrw It started off with conversations with a group of quilters and knitters from the… Read More “The Finishers”
Hi Readers! I’ve been away from blogging unintentionally (if intentional, I would have notified you). So let’s do a randomly chatty post.

Something attracted me to this pattern in… Read More My Over Committed Sewing Life

The tasks at hand are hemming the edges of all seven embroidered napkins, and adding embroidery and hemming to the last eighth blank square to complete the set. The napkins are smaller than dinner size and will probably be considered cocktail napkins. Except, I don’t… Read More Unfinished Sewing Archives: Embroidered Linen Napkins
