esquetee: It’s a multi-screen kind of evening while I prep for my next tarot history talk. Also, I might have to add the Sola Busca reproduction to my collection.
esquetee: Come work in beautiful Bend! @deschuteslibrary is hiring a Learning & Development Manager!
esquetee: Five years ago when we first saw our house, I was so excited about all the lavender (10 of ’em!) but after 5 winters of trimming, I must admit the excitement has dimmed somewhat.
esquetee: Getting a lovely bit of end-of-day-peace from topstitching my first #necessaryclutchwallet ... I love handstitching, even tho it’s slower.
esquetee: I’m super excited thrilled anxious intimidated that I get to take a class with @tulapink this summer at @sistersoutdoorquiltshow #quiltersaffair2019. I’ll be making the #tulanova quilt out of mostly solids. But still... choices, choices!
esquetee: Day 7 of #qamstashbash ... if it’s a whole bolt, does it count? Last year @charlottesampler_destash had these on sale and I snatched one up. Black is my neutral of choice so now I’m set for the year!
esquetee: Day 6 of #qamstashbash: 3 fabrics I’m using this month. This is a secret surprise project for some special people that I’ve been wanting to make for, oh, 8 years now? No biggie.
esquetee: Day 3 for #qamstashbash: “fabric that is quintessentially you.” I aspire to be the top fabric, with a palette of cool yet bright colors, smooth and flowing lines. But I’m more often the bottom fabric - messy, jumbled and “overdue”.
esquetee: Pretty sure I can attribute every bad decision I’ve ever made to obsessively watching this movie as a kid. Good times!
esquetee: Today’s adventures in sewing: my first try at hand basting with boards, while watching a couple instructors from this coming year’s #quiltersaffair @sistersoutdoorquiltshow
esquetee: Or maybe one of these... I’m leaning toward the one on the right.
esquetee: Help me, hive mind. Which of these goes best with the center fabric? The solid or the mottled? TIA!
esquetee: It’s always a little unnerving to break into a beautiful jelly roll of fabrics but I think making Nova by @rubybluequilts will be worth it.
esquetee: Ready to spend about 4 days in my cluttered messy happy place, making stuff. Goal: leave it messier than I found it. 😝😎
esquetee: Working on a few small repairs (she said) when I realized I had a slight wrinkle in the patch. But you know what? I like the texture even better that way. Merry Wabi Sabi, y’all. #slowstitching #borostitch #visiblemending
esquetee: Birthday!! But how old is he? Many happy returns, @chuggnutt @brewsite
esquetee: The #quiltconreject tag is blowing my mind! 😳
esquetee: I would like this photo but that would ruin the perfect number it has going on right now.
esquetee: If I wore t-shirts more often, I would very much want this. @snorgtees
esquetee: Nothin’ like to walking to work in 15 degrees to put hair on your goosebumps! #inBend
esquetee: Well, there’s that at least. #todoist
esquetee: Seeing deer in downtown (DOWNTOWN!) Bend still amazes me.
esquetee: Taking a day off to clean, but first... a fire and tea.
esquetee: Spotify, if you really knew me you would have told me a long time ago that Tears For Fears had covered Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes. ::side eye::
esquetee: According to my five-year journal, the year is almost over. #tellingtimewithribbons
esquetee: Still amazed that we live here.
esquetee: Dear #sewing and #quilting friends: you might never forgive me but I’m going to point you toward @charlottesampler_destash - an amazing fabric source. My hope is you will all go buy all her stuff so I’m not tempted anymore. Thanks in advance! 😉 #theg
esquetee: Feeling really behind on the #northstarqal after a weekend of no sewing on it. But I’ll put in a little time each evening till I catch up. Tonight: sewing seams for HSTs and geese. #northstarquilt
esquetee: Two stems blooming on the orchid! Wowsers
esquetee: When I started #northstarqal I also started a new #leasdersandenders project to use up scrappy mini charm packs. Are you doing something similar? .. #northstarquilt #quiltsofinstagram
