Forum: A Stitch in Time

Wow where in the world did October go? How's your stitching, knitting, and crochet going gang? I'm working on a crazy quilt block using my hand dyed fabrics and trims.

Hi everyone! probably many of you know I make paper beads and have been doing that for quite a few years. I make all kinds of jewelry with them and hair sticks. I have accumulated quite a few beads as I must of been on a binge making them during past winter months so I decided to try something new....

It's October!!! Whatcha all got going as far as stitching, knitting, etc., going on?

This will be the chat thread for the month of September! I decided doing a weekly thread would clutter up this room and I didn't want that to happen. The temps here are gorgeous, fall has arrived early here in central Iowa this year there's a tinge of red on the sugar maple leaves.

My friends know me for piecing together things to make clothes that I like. Especially in lengths that I like. I have a preference for long full skirts but haven't been abke to wear them for years due to life circumstances. But life has changed. More recently I've been using the yoke of pants that...

This thread is for sharing patterns and links to patterns that we have found useful or look like fun for 2019 - I think we should do these by the year (for a start) and see how that works. Other craft patterns are fine to post too (as are links) I just ran out of title room lol

That's not a typo, between passing kidney stones and now I have shingles I'm wiped out! So I'm extending this chat to the 31st. The dog days of summer are officially here, college students are moving back into town which means a huge fabric sale at the local quilt shop, it's one of the largest...

Wow where did the summer go?

Yikes where did July go? Time to start thinking about knitting socks for this winter.

Does anyone have one of these? My grandmother used to have one for her cross stitch. (The woman was a saint.) I have recently come to accept that when I am handstitching I need more help than my glasses. Especially when I'm doing matching color thread and fabric. Today I splurged because the sale...

OK I see a couple of other threads are already here; we may want to do one specifically for knitting and another for weaving but lets start with one and see how it goes. Feel free to ask questions, post patterns and links to patterns/blogs/resources etc - we may also want to start a thread that...

I thought we could use a humor thread, there are quite a few really funny memes, jokes, and stories, surrounding stitching out there on the net. That would be me in the corner stitching the skull block. :xpnd:

Just wondering what everyone's stitching/crafting superpowers are? I knit, crochet, weave, embroider, quilt, spin, etc., amongst a few other things and recently learned how to tat. I also work exclusively with natural dyes, rust, and indigo so you will see me posting about those sorts of things...

This is the weekly thread for chatting about what we're working on, and it is the ONLY thread where we can go a little bit off topic, but not by much. Example of off topic would be: "I'm knitting hats for infants and am looking for ideas on where to donate them" etc. Such questions can also be...

Don't know if any one else would be interested in smithing, but thought I would start a thread. I play around with it and have a bit of experience, so... Do know this, that a good galvanized well made bucket last much longer than those plastic buckets, and that I can fabricate my own a bit...
