August Cornucopia

 

August was great, wasn't it? I'm writing this in the past, so this is hopefully true. I bet it was, August always goes so fast, but is usually a fun month. Here's a roundup cornucopia post of all the stuff I enjoyed, consumed or interacted with this month.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm enjoying reading Peppermint Magazine via my local library on the Libby app. This is a really fun read, it's always good to see how they do sewing things a little differently "down under." I love their magazine's mission statement: "We tell the stories of people doing good in the world."

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fascinating interview with an artist who uses plants for her watercolor paint pigments, her book is Feral Hues: A Guide to Painting With Weeds (love that title!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wow, one of the two colleges I attended in undergrad, UC Santa Cruz has just completed mapping the entire human genome, all of it, the whole entire thing: T2T, Telomere to Telomere.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fun stuff and lots of ideas on the Gelli Arts Blog, like this image transfer process.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How Socialist Gym Rats Fought to End Slavery in America. Completely fascinating!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you're one of those Tetris people from way back, give SandTrix a try. My DS suggested it to me and it's just as addictive as Tetris and challenging in a different way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maui Quilt Shop is collecting quilts for the fire survivors.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Speaking of Gingiber, how about this free quilt pattern that uses their great cat panels.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
