This month, I had the excitement of my first-ever project published in a magazine, and not just any magazine but the fabulous Fat Quarterly magazine no less!
Now that was definitely a successful New to Me :)
I have also discovered a great new tool for tracing patterns
and finished my first ever traditional Sashiko embroidery piece and even managed to turn it into something useful at the same time. Now that is a new experience :)

ReplyDeleteYou had a fabulous month of NEW, Fiona. Now to top that next month.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting congrats!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely projects Fiona and great news about the magazine article - Chris :D
ReplyDeleteJoining in the linky party this month with a "new to me crafts fair entry". Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteso good to read you are in print, congratulations. Fascinated with the tool you have shared today any chance of more details, what is is called, who makes it, where can I purchase it etc. The cushion is a real beauty
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a great month of NEW - especially the publishing coup :D That's a cool little tracing stylus - I like the end on it - it looks like one of the tools from a woodworking set I used to have (I bought it for polymer clay, actually, lol) - I'll have to check to see if I still have the set because that looks like it would really work well for tracing, lol! I have a Something New to post, that involves a rather unfortunate pressing faux pas - who knew that paper towels could melt? LOL!
ReplyDeleteYea! Love the Fat Quarterly Mag..... Let me remind you again how inspiring you are to me :) Very cute little clutch with sweet little embroidered flowers. And what exactly is that new tool ?
ReplyDeleteJanita
Beautiful projects as always. So excited for you for your publication. Congratulations again.
ReplyDeleteThat was a pretty good 'new' thing for you this month!
ReplyDeleteMy new to me was the Prym pliers for eyelet setting. I ended up using my scrapbooking tool to set the things!
Congratulations Fiona! I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteLove the sashiko cushion. What is the new tool?
ReplyDeleteI think it's amazing that you have your pattern published - congratulations:-)
ReplyDeleteOh, you done really well this month!
ReplyDeleteYippee.. for being published!
