Well, that was August, and it was no doubt warm and wonderful and full of fun. Hopefully this August cornucopia will be a bit more full than last month's was. What's a cornucopia post? Well, I like to gather the links to various media and online stuff that I've enjoyed or consumed over the previous month which may or may not be quilting or sewing related, to share with you (and to help myself find them again!).

This podcast, Sew and So is funded by Bernina but is useful to all "sewists" (I really never gelled with that term even though it is preferable to sewers) and quilters. That's where I heard about a new movie, Sew Torn which sounds like it would be very worth watching.

I love this idea of distributing used and new sewing machines to all sorts of people who apply to the Sewing Machine Project. This includes refugees that come to our country. To have something familiar to do, that uses your hands and mind and is useful as well as a way to support your family is a great supportive combination.

The photo illustration alone made me want to make this recipe, and it was very very good. Pea and artichoke dip with pickled onions.

Maybe I knew and had forgotten, but EQ8 has a page of very useful instructions videos on how to various different actions in the program. Quite helpful! They are hosted on their YouTube channel.One is intriguingly titled as "Draw Wacky Log Cabins" and I'm very curious about what that even means...

Some great free-motion quilting demonstration videos from Christa Watson that demonstrate motifs from her very useful book, 99 Machine Quilting Designs. It really helps to see the quilting done on video.

A really beautiful and moving exhibit of Palestinian embroidery--tatreez.

I haven't watched it yet, but on Roku Streaming, you can watch the Great British Sewing Bee, (without a Roku device on your computer.) If it's anything like the Great British Baking Show, I'm really looking forward to it. Usually I don't care for reality competition-show tv programs, but the GBBS model works for me.

This is very entertaining, a woman growing a dress in her yard. In a series of Instagram video posts, Eve Ogden Schaub is going step by step growing flax and learning to harvest and spin and weave it into useable fabric.

The Stuff You Missed In History Class podcast has a great two part story on the history of Paper Patterns. And then there's one about the Sewing Basket.
