TTMT 802 – Lots of things! (A Quilty Crafty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

Hello, my friends! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback from my tie-dye birthday video for Jewells (@nmjewells)! Your reaction was fantastic!

Today I’m sharing several projects that I’ve held on to for one reason or another, the big one being last week’s BIG video, including a surprise gift from Amber, some kind of mind-blowing free-standing lace, and a finished quilt!

I am an amateur at tie-dye! I used easy-to-purchase and easy-to-use dyes for that reason.

All shirts were pre-washed with a free & clear detergent and were damp when they were tied and dyed. Tulip instructions recommend a 6-8 hour dye time, but a rabbit hole of tie-dye info later and I left in a closed zip bag for 24 hours each. It’s hard to argue with the results! Each shirt was hand rinsed until the water was clear and then washed alone twice with detergent, each time with an extra rinse. The zip bags were also washed and dried for reuse for future craft projects.

If you’re looking to make your own tie-dye, I found great inspiration from the following channels:

October is here and that means new TTMT BOM patterns! I’ve also been working on a slew of gifts, so this week’s video is a short one. Not to worry, I’ll be back soon with much more fun craftiness. One of my favorite videos I’ve ever made is coming up later this month!

TTMT BOM Month 6 (October) chosen by Jewells (Julia M), both patterns from Delaware Quilts.

TTMT 797 – Such a Holiday

Leave a reply

(For some reason, WordPress auto-embed is being stubborn, and I can’t get today’s video to appear in the post. I’ll keep trying, so fingers crossed for asap!)

Hello, friends! I’m home and finally getting re-combobulated after some gnarly jet lag. Our Nat Geo trip to Greece was absolutely brilliant! I share a bit about that along with some video clips and photos at the end.

Today I’m coming to you from the past while I’m romping around the world with my favorite guy! I’m sharing my #ttmtbom blocks for September as well as some goodies I made for Jewells and her daughter.

Hat Pattern-ish!
The crochet hat is made with an H or I hook. For the adult hat I show here, chain ~38 (or as many as you need to reach nose to crown), turn, sc across, turn, ch 1, sc across in back loops only. Repeat until you reach the width you want, then turn, ch 1, slst in the back loops to close, gather the top, tie off, top with a pom pom if you like and you’re done!

Big thanks to my Ko-Fi supporters, with a special shout out to crankyrat for TEN coffees!
