a gift.
for the one who must always have the last word. i give you all of them. the first, the last, and all those in between. i will hold on to only this one.
good night, Madison.
we had a wonderful reunion today and we look forward to getting reacquainted tomorrow. We’ve missed you.
and the march is on.
last night was a hit! thanks Fancy Tiger for hosting us!
we are also happy to announce we will be at Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago September 13-14. more details to come regarding that, but check out the link below to visit their site:
one last thing… we will be visiting Wisconsin next week. So any orders placed July 15-22 will ship after the 23rd.
Hope you are enjoying your summer!
time slippage.
somehow the month of June just slipped through my fingers. I know that we were very busy, but i couldn’t tell you with what exactly. I’m sure it had to do with creating, gardening, or the shop because we haven’t done much else so far this summer. so much for all that camping we had wanted to do.
although, we did acquire an embroidery machine last month. that required rearranging the whole studio (i.e. our house). and there is learning how to operate this new machine and its design software. oh, yeah. there was that. we haven’t gotten very far in creating much with it yet. Brett has done a couple test hats and I did this tank. I’m actually excited about this project. I woke up on Friday and wanted to created a flower on this red tank. not anything I’d been contemplating. we had the screen, so we had a make shift printing session with a piece of wood for a platen and my hands for the press (all to avoid interrupting the creativity to pack everything up and go to the screen print studio) after quickly drawing up the embroidery design and some trial and error with the machine. Viole!
we don’t have this shirt listed in the Etsy shop yet, but we will have it at Fancy Tiger on Friday. Hopefully, we’ll get it listed in the shop over the weekend.
Dever made.
Vital will be at Fancy Tiger’s trunk show, Denver made, on July 11. Stop by to check Fancy Tiger’s cool shop. Oh! and we will be featuring new items sewn by us (or mostly Crystal) including dresses, bags, and wallets.
connection to the past.
Brett pieced and designed the top and I hand quilted and finished this quilt. It is our first, but it is something we intent on continuing. There is a connection you feel to past generations while working on a quilt. We also enjoy taking the well worn craft of quilt making and updating to our sensibilities. Brett and I have different perspectives that draw us to quilts, but it is something we can both appreciate and collaborate on. Because everyone knows a quilt needs collaboration.
