Sew Good to Me

I've been on a sewing kick lately. I can't stop churning out bags and tea wallets and blankets and more. Here are a few inspiring finds from etsyland:



1. Modern Quilt by quiltedbykaren
2. Hanging Fabric Storage Bin by sewingmomma
3. Handbag/Wristlet by honeyddesigns
4. SnackSleeve by agreensleeve
5. Organic cotton deer mob napkins by ohlittlerabbit
6. Round and Round Pillow Cover by kanom
7. Recycled Sail Throw Pillow by reiter8
8. Linen Patchwork Coffee Press Cozy by SometimesCrafter
9. Modern Baby Quilt by BlueElephantStitch

Works in Progress

Aside from the usual distraction, there really has been quite a lot of work going on in the Bumblebirch studio.

The Summer line of stitch markers is ready! All 8 new colors of Droplets and Petite Droplets will be listed in the shop soon!

In addition to new stitch markers, I'm pleased to announce a new colorway:

Peony

This colorway is inspired by the flowers we had at our wedding: cream and blush pink. It's just in time to celebrate our 2nd anniversary on May 25th! Peony is available in any of the Bumblebirch bases.

Happy May, everyone!

Sewn Bind Off

I can't believe I haven't used this stretchy bind off before! I've knit so many projects which would benefit from the sewn bind off, so I'll have to make it my standard sock bind off from now on.

Rainy Days

I don't know about your city, but it's been rainy around here!

Spring Cleaning Sale

As you know, I'm a member of an Etsy Team called the OWLs, a diverse group of artists, artisans, and crafters who come together for mutual business support and skill growth. Our team is holding a Spring Cleaning Sale to celebrate the onset of Spring, and you can score some great deals in a bunch of shops! Visit the OWLs blog to see all the participating shops and their deals.

Bumblebirch will be offering 10% off all stitch markers, and 15% off all yarn. I'll also be offering early subscriptions to the Yarn + Tea Club for April & May. It's time to clean out the shop!
