Qaspeq Class & May Fun!

My qaspeq class at Bearly Threaded Quilting Too was ahhhmazing! There was two gals Barbara and Nikki and it was wonderful! They both made beautiful qaspeqs! And I got to sew and make a couple qaspeqs for my amazingly patient customers 🙂

I love how Alaska is such a small world! I used to work for Nikki’s son Luke in Bethel over 10 years ago. And she knew alot of people from back home 🙂

And! I finally busted out Janome Memory Craft 500E Embrodiery machine and put it to good use! I cant believe it took me this long to brave it and try it out! Now all I want to do is embroider 🙂

Its going to be another busy week I have quite a few orders to fill and need to gather more spruce tips and dandelion flowers before its too late!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Can you believe it?! We are half way to Christmas! You better start your Christmas shopping and maybe Memorial weekend will be the best time to start and hit up all the sales 🙂

Its already been a busy month! I have been trying to whip out orders as fast as they are coming in. There will be some happy mothers rocking their new qaspeqs 🙂 Good job husbands and gentlemen for getting in your order for that special lady in your life.

On another note my nephew is graduating! Eeeeeks! My first cutest stinkest fattest nephew will be graduating from high school next Friday! I cant believe it seems like just yesterday I was rushing home from grade school to visit my cousin. And my first paid job babysitting the cutest stinker Conwad! Gosh! Now I really feel old. I am excited to be heading home next weekend for that to see all my family and friends.

I won a beautiful Iphone 6 case from Julianna Engler of Fort Yukon. She does wonderful beadwork and if you haven’t already go like her Facebook page Engler Designs.

I have a pile of bags, wallets and qaspeqs to finish 🙂

Happy Sewing!

Happy Wednesday!

Fun March Happenings

Its been a wild March month!

We bought a house, remodeling the house, working full time, making baby quilts, Kenai Construction academy which is a 4 week training with electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and welding. Its been an amazing 4 weeks and I have learned A LOT. I will hopefully be building a sewing table/fabric storage/cutting table this week in carpentry.

School part time with my diet and nutrition courses, and my ethnobotany course. I am slowly working towards my Ethnobotany certificate and am excited to continue and learning about plants as medicine.

I was able to travel to Bethel last month for work and it was so great to be home.

Two fun giveaways! And I am thinking about doing another giveaway on this page so I can get the word out 🙂 Keep posted!

I finished my first big qaspeq order for the Kuskokwim Campus college. I cant wait to share pictures of the students in their beautitful qaspeqs.
