PNW MichelleThis time of year I tend to do a lot less stitching because I’m preoccupied with spring. But I’m still slowly picking away at my year long quilt project. The middle is this scrappy appliquéd heart with layers of blanket stitch. I’m really loving this process. <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#slowstitching</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#handstitching</a>

TAV CreationsThat time I added layers of blush tulle and twinkling lights to a wedding dress for their NYE wedding at the NAC in Ottawa. Hours spent <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#handstitching</a> the tiny string lights in place on the under layers. The battery packs (4) were held in place in fabric pockets I added to the hoop skirt worn under the dress. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#creativity</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/twinklingLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twinklingLights</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/customBridal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#customBridal</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ottawaDesigner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ottawaDesigner</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/bridal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bridal</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/bespoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bespoke</a>
