If you are thinking of running a comic festival a basic thing that establishes community trust is: from the start PLEASE put the names of who is running your festival on your website. Maybe you are the most above board trustworthy team of all time, but I don't know that if your fest is faceless.

True canadian values
four frame comic. first frame shows a Tim Hortons coffee shop from outside. second frame shows Harry Potter themed donuts. Third shows a loon swimming in a lake near some grass. last one shows someone with a dress that reads ''I don't care''. Text reads :
at tim hortons, we care
deeply about true canadian
Values, such as Silent
complicity in genocide.
that's what inspired us
to partner with famous
anti-human rights campaigner
jk rowling to offer you an
all-harry potter menu.
with each purchase of our
mid-tier donuts, your money
goes towards lining the pockets
of someone who uses her wealth
to fight trans rights and hurt
queer communities around
the planet.
you don't personally need
to hate lgbtq+ people to eat at
tim hortons. you just need to not
care enough about their rights,
safety and well-being!

one of the hottest sewing tips i picked up recently is that crayola washable markers wash out of fabric so well. so they're great for tracing patterns/marking darts/etc.

Finally finished this quilt! It's made from a bunch of fabric leftover from previous projects. The blocks are English Paper Piecing joined by machine. Quilted by machine. Binding finished by hand. Blocks taken from the Red Sky at Night quilt, but arranged in my own design.

Hey did you know you can stretch quilt samples like you would a canvas???? This was a piecing test of several blocks for a larger quilt I'm working on. 5 oz denim + white cotton + quilted with white thread. Horse appliqué is probably vintage, definitely thrifted.

This is the type of stuff you can expect from me over on threadloop.
screenshot of a post from the app threadloop with three different pictures of a button up shirt. the first one is from the front & captioned "wow so chich so cool." The second is a back view with the wearer's arms raised & captioned "in my mind this was a great way to show off the pleats but boy does it look like i am an albatross demonstrating my wingspan for the zookeeper." The third is a closeup of a sick clear button with a white outer ring that I'm very excited about.

i'm soooo close to being done this quilt. i finally got the last of the ~54 hand appliqué elements on last night. Once the hand quilting thread I ordered arrives I'll get the batting sandwiched, quilt it, and actually finish off this project!
