Sunday means it’s pajama day. Today’s video shares a long term project to enjoy and how to carry thread at events.
Chestnut Bay Quilt Shop’s Round Robin Sew Along Quilt:
Examples of a box style spool holders (I am double checking “spool wagon” as a name.)
Today was supposed to be productively focused on a pretty white bonnet, a PowerPoint for next weekend, a new publication, and a really cool collaborative announcement.
Instead, I find I must address something that has been bothering me for a while:
Infringing on Intellectual Property Rights
It is entirly possible the listing I saw today was a one-time mistake from someone who doesn’t know. But the reality is unethical use of other’s work has been a problem for years.
Selling items made from someone’s pattern or directions, whether sold or free, is not ethical.
Selling items made from what one learns in a of one learns in a workshop or class is not ethical.
Taking someone’s research and republishing without credit is not ethical.
From a legal perspective:
Each of my e-publications in my Etsy shop are protected by copyright. Fanciful Utility is protected by copyright. All of my books are registered with the Library of Congress. A copyright statement accompanies each of my project templates and directions on my blogs.
I hate that I find I need to address this at a time like this, but here it is. Please, do your part in understanding Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, and the ethical use of others work. Help those new to this field or hobby understand them as well.
This video includes a Clara visit and how the triangle pinwheel cushion turned out.
Today’s video some chat and a look at inspiration pincushions.
The design for the flag pincushion in Berlin work I showed is here as a pdf.
Here is the pinwheel-esque pincushion progress.
I realized when I got the pieces together, that this could make an awesome patchwork quilt. A bunch of fun spinny stripes? I am also seeing Christmas ornament potential… And stuffed Christmas trees.
Today we make the heart pincushion from An American Girl’s Book.

*Note: The channel I am watching Belgravia on is only free until April 19th. It looks like I will just get 2 episodes.
**Note: I mentioned starting a Facebook album for projects. After the video, it occured to me people may prefer a FB group. What are your thoughts?
Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
Today we make the pin pocket I shared yesterday.
A guide to the feather stitch is here.
Additional photos to come as I finish….
Today’s video introduces a pin pocket project.
Post video note: In the video I said I would use batting. After cutting all the pieces, I decided this would be too bulky for my fulled wool. My new recommendation is to Not us batting with medium weight or fulled wool. Batting may be desired with tropical weight wool.
Materials to gather:
*You can adjust measurements to suit your needs and fabric. Remember to adjust the size of all layers and the length of the ribbon.
