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.

Huge post up on the ol' blog today that answers the question "What if a shirt & tie was actually just a tie-shaped shirt?" & I get into all the juicy details about how I made this linen set for an August wedding. www.kagcomix.com/blog/2026/8/...

photo of kathleen standing in front of a fenced yard or something. she is wearing a pink linen coordinated set. the top is a shirt where the front placket looks like a necktie. the pants are just kinda normal pants but the front zipper is exposed. she is wearing bright yellow shoes with stars on them.

This baby quilt i'm working on is turning out sooooooo good!!! (design is my own--the parents gave me a colour palette to work from & i went from there)

photo of a quilt top with diamonds and stars in a grid. they are separated by interwoven bands of colour. colours are a gradient from pink to blue with yellow highlights.

close up of the same quilt as the previous photo with some borders added around the design. i still need to add another border before i can call the top done.

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.

photo of a person holding up a quilt in blue and pink colours. it's a patchwork of english paper pieced blocks floating on a cream background dotted with butterflies.

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.

photo of a quilting sample with a duochromatic design that radiates from the centre in denim and white. a golden beaded and sequinned horse appliqué rears on its back legs in the centre.

Close up of the appliqué with delicious texture and the quilting stitches in the background.

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!
