ok I cut out the last machine embroidered thing I managed to finish (which I also hand-embroidered over the parts that looked shitty), and cut out all the pieces, lining, interlining, interfacing etc., to make the zippered bag I want to make.

I used spray adhesive to baste them all together. Now I just need to kind of… quilt them together. Then I can assemble the bag on the sewing machine and serger, and finish it on the serger.

But all the pieces are cut and assembled. I didn’t take any pictures. I will at some point, if only to keep me honest.

Spray adhesive is great, so far. (I’ve mostly been using it to apply stabilizer to fabric to embroider on.) Using it for quilting, they call it spray basting. I like this. I’m shit at pinning things and always stab myself. This is more feasible, so far.

Anyway. I actually did a thing, though I stopped too soon. I should keep pushing through, but I just feel like I’ll screw something up if I do.

No quilting has actually been done but I still feel like I can tag this quilting. (I decided making small zipper-closed pouches would be the most manageable small quilting thing for me to do.)

Apropos of nothing in particular– I’m printing out a portfolio of photos of my sister’s wedding flowers business, which is an offshoot of her flowers-for-farmer’s-market business, and I just thought, it’s such a gray day in such a gray week, here are a bunch of photos of flowers for y’all. 

Photos by me unless credited otherwise in captions. Just– here are some pretty pictures to look at, of flowers I helped grow. 

The third photo– those are wooden window boxes that the groom made himself, brought to the farm six months ahead of the wedding, and my sister planted with little herbs she’d started from seed, and tended for months. They bloomed, if they were going to, right around the time of the wedding– sage, thyme, and oregano all have purple flowers, and I know at least the sage and thyme were blooming. They were beautiful, and then they gave them out as wedding favors. What a phenomenal idea!!

I’m watching this on repeat tbh I’m shaking….

This really did shake my soul like I sat in silence for 3 minutes when I️ saw it the first time

I’ve watched this clip a couple of times now, on mute all but once, and it makes me cry at the end, my God it makes me cry, someone has done something so awful to her. So awful.
