lots of sewing, some dreaming about sowing

 maggie b needed a spot to store a toy and a book or two 
in her tiny brooklyn kitchen.
i popped this in the mail.

 today i was remembering the warm summer breezes in august 2016,
when i harvested my indigo and dyed some linen.
i stitched up these lavender sachets today, to gift to my friend terry.
i had my first professional massage with her a few weeks ago.
*sigh*




this wallhanging went out to tuscon, az.
it's a very belated wedding gift for two courageous
young educators.
their partnership is grounded in peace and justice work.
wow.

this past weekend batman and i ordered our veggie seeds from

in the midst of daily life, with its chores, routines, work and barrage of news
it's just a delight to have the sanctuary of my sewing studio and dreams of
the upcoming growing season. 

sew and sow.

  1. Sow. I have a radio show on Thursday nights. This evening's guest will be discussing seeds. He just returned from The Oregon Seed Alliance seed weekend. You can listen on Tune-In Radio at CHLY-101.7FM, in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

    Will you be attending seed exchange gatherings in your area? Seedy Saturdays happen all over the country.

    1. Very cool!
      Is there some way I can listen to this now? A podcast perhaps?

  2. Just brought some seed trays in from the potting shed to tuck onion, leek, and kale seeds into this weekend.
    Putting the final border on a quilt top to pass along to our guild's quilter for donating to a child in need. Love Maggie B's pocket panel.
    Indigo linen pouches of lavender... lovely, thoughtful gift.

    1. Batman is thinking about onion and leek seeds, but it's a bit early to start them here.
      I love that so many guilds are making community quilts! Thanks for adding to the good karma, Sharon. xo
