SYAO Creativity, the week of May 12, 2025
May 12, 2025 8:33 pm
Hello, everyone!
Happy Monday! Here's the latest edition of SYAO Creativity. Let's see what's going on in our creative world this week!
STITCH (What I've been working on)
I was in Chicago last week for the wholesale yarn and quilt market. I didn't get a lot of knitting or quilting done there. But I had a good time. I went to a little talk that Kaffe Fassett gave. When I say "little," I mean it. There were only about 10 of us there. So after it, it was easy to get a picture.
He talked about how different colors make quilts look completely different. Nothing shocking to any of us, but still, a nice thing to see with samples. (I forgot to take photos of the samples, because .... I have no idea why. Just trust me that the same quilt in different colors looks different!)
Here I am after, with him! Note that he is cool toned and I am warm toned.
YOUR (What you've been working on)
Christina finished her kitty quilt top at the retreat. (We still have some of the kitty fabric left.) I love her choice of deep-purple batik sashing. It somehow tied everything together.
ART (Inspired by art or nature)
The tulips were at peak when I was in Chicago. They were delightful!
OUT (What's out on the shelves in the shop)
CROCHET!
We have a Crochet 101 class coming up in about a week. If you want to learn to crochet, be sure to sign up! The teacher isn't able to teach a Crochet 101 this summer. Sign up here!
As always, make an appointment to shop or browse, or just to show off your stuff! I can't wait to see you!
