Melissa from A Happy Stitch has a kit to make these fabulous handmade espadrilles! Here she used my screenprinted fabric, so you can order her kit here plus two panels of my screenprinted fabric to make your very own pair!

Social Justice Sewing Academy is making quilting relevant for a new generation. Founded last year by author and educator Sara Trail, the organization works with youth to create appliqué quilt blocks on topics of social justice in their communities, which are then sent to volunteers around the world for embroidery, and finally sewn together in quilts to be displayed in museums, galleries and quilt shows across the country.
My next linen fabric collection for Kokka will be shipping to stores this summer! A couple of the prints feature gold metallic ink. And llamas!

It’s a beautiful spring day here in Atlanta, but I’m struggling with all the negativity on social media. Twitter often reminds me of the original Ghostbusters movie when they realize that the slime is reacting to negative human emotions until it becomes an angry river flowing under the city. Sometimes we need to breathe and tune out for a bit so we don’t get slimed.
In my latest newsletter, I talk about staying grounded in middle age through mindful making. I’ve also included a tutorial for the fabric buckets pictured above, the perfect size for a small plant for spring or Mother’s Day.
