June Cornucopia


 No doubt this June was full of lovely days where I got lots and lots of sewing done. And who knows what else besides PT appointments, and gardening, etc. The rest of the time I probably spent online reading or enjoying various things that I've collected here in this cornucopia post.

Just in time for the Summer Olympics this year, a quilt block sew-a-long. I was playing around with the blocks on QuiltInk and they look very fun.

Quiltfolk has some interesting virtual journeys this summer called Adventure Journeys, one of which is Beatrix Potter focused, including learning from her wedding quilt (which is gorgeous!). The other two are Hawaii and the Scottish Highlands.

We somehow missed out on the sourdough baking craze during the pandemic, so now we're going through it, and there's been A Lot of bread lately. Some of it has been truly great, some not, so now I'm considering splurging on this gizmo.

Quilt National 25 call for artists is here, the application deadline is 8/30.

I love that the MQG Make-a-Difference challenge theme is Pollinators this year.

I'm having fun looking at the 20 blocks that have been coming out steadily for the Made & Found quilt a long. I haven't actually sewed any, but I've got them all saved up. It doesn't end until October, so I've got a catch up period.

From the UC Berkeley alumni magazine, is the really interesting and well-produced podcast: The Edge, this recent episode with Jeff Goodell, the author of The Heat Will Kill You First was very good. Really recommend listening to it. I got the book out of the library and have started it, it's also very good.
