A heel turn and a quiet moment in the garden. 😌🌻 Yes, I’m still knitting socks! Just at a much slower pace. 💛 . . . . #sockknitting #ewetopia #heelturn #knitting #backyardgarden #summer
A collaboration between myself and the kiddo! I gave him the scraps, he laid them out, and I stitched them down. 🪡 He needed a flag for his monster truck races and fort, so it was the perfect opportunity for us to work together! 💛 Swipe to watch th
I have started a series of generation quilts for the four Staehlin’s in my life. First up is Grandpa Jim! This quilt is made from his work shirt, Brian’s baby clothes, Brian’s adult dress shirt, receiving blanket from Kelan, burp cl
Anyone else store their knitting needles in old flower vases? 💐 This one just got cozy with some scrappy fabric! Thanks for the fun soft sculpture idea, @heidi.parkes! 💙 . . . . #zerowaste #scrapfabric #handstitching #knittingneedles #patchwork #qu
July’s quilt block is serving as a reminder to look up and down. Remember that you are on stolen land. Mother Nature is on fire and needs us to check ourselves and our habits. Resting is a form of resistance. 🌤 I learned this quilt block is ti
Taking it for an early morning SPIN!! 🔄 My first postpartum workshop was last weekend with @coultyalo and it was such a treat! I loved it being virtual, 3 hours long and working at my own pace. I even pumped during it and still kept working on the p
Can’t seem to capture the beautiful tint of green on these hollyhock dyed pieces. But what a treat to explore! Love the blue spots on the fabric where the flower petal snuggled up against it. Cheers to uneven dyeing! 💙 Much love to @vegejan fo
Opened the coreopsis solar dye jar last night and revealed the most beautiful orange yarn!! If I could be any color, it would be this orange, truly! 🧡 The yarn is a wool/alpaca/bamboo blend that I picked up last weekend while in Michigan. What a tre
Happy Friday! ☀️🌼✨
Using up the freezer stash of garden flowers to make space for this year’s blooms. First up: a nice, big pot of marigolds! Letting it cool off in the sunshine before the rinse and color shift tomorrow. ☀️ . . . . #marigold #dyeflowers #backyard

Summer solstice 😌✨
Happy Father’s Day to all of the father figures out there, and all the different roles you may be while being a father. 💙 An extra special hug goes out to our own papa, @stalinski13. We’re grateful for you and your great big papa bear hu
Started a solar dye bath last night with the babe to honor the upcoming summer solstice. ☀️ We harvested all the dye flowers that were in bloom and put them in the jar. 🌼 Fabric was put in and all was covered with water. Then a big load of sandbox s
My favorite quilt block that I’ve made so far this year was from January. I thrifted this jacket a while back and decided it needed some patchwork on the back, so I recreated that January quilt block for it. ➿ It pairs so well with my @a.la.reu
Super pleased with these over dye results! Base is avocado pits and over dye is cutch. I patterned and sewed this top at the beginning of quarantine last year, but the cut just wasn’t flattering on a pregnant belly. This year tho, it’s ge
Lots of over-dyeing happening this evening! In the dye pot is some cutch on a silk top I made (originally dyed in avocado pits 🥑) and bundled is more coreopsis from the garden. 🌼 . . . . #backyardgarden #urbangarden #naturaldye #bundledye #coreops

I’ve started packing away/giving away lots of baby things as the last babe outgrows them. There are some things tho that I just can’t let go of, or are falling apart where no one will want them. With those things in mind, I’m starti
