August Cornucopia

 

Another August is done, here's a cornucopia post full of links to the articles, exhibits, podcasts, etc. that I enjoyed consuming this past month.

Combining fashion and horticulture, why not? I really like the grassy shoes.

The annual SAQA benefit auction pieces are up in gallery format with the auction happening in September. We got to curate our own mini dream collections, I did one called "Circle Up" with all circle related quilts.

A bunch of free to use California Native plant garden designs for various situations.

In Kentucky, teenagers are learning embroidery (and talking feminism, etc.) at the School of Needlework for Disobedient Women.

Librarians discovering all sorts of ephemera people leave between the pages of books, just fascinating.

This time around, Curated Quilts new mini-quilt challenge is paper piecing. Not sure I'll do it, but who knows, maybe you will? The colors to use are quite nice.

This looks like a very cozy and lovely scarf made out of flannel. If it ever gets cold again, I might like to make one of those, or maybe it would be a good gift.

Another great idea to use one's Circuit or other automatic cutter to do some surface design on fabric. Inspiring! I've got to try this one.

Long live the practice of Exquisite Corpse. I know I had fun doing the fiber version of it years ago.

Podcast consumption report, I enjoyed listening to: Amicus and Strict Scrutiny which both cover the Supreme Court, great explainers for non-lawyers. Scam Likely - a podcast about the scam callers (who have scammed my folks twice!) and how the whole thing works and who these people are, and how they're getting caught.
