MR + Mollie Makes

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." - Carl Sagan

I designed the patterns for the free Constellation Stitch Kit in the latest Mollie Makes, issue,53. Pretty incredible kit (patterns, hoop, fabric, thread, needle) as a bonus to a great magazine. The patterns are inspired by my favorite topic, the stars. So of course I had to include a Carl Sagan quote, the little & big dipper and a graphic, sashiko star. I'm really happy to see how the kit, and the whole issue turned out. So many fun projects!  I want to make that knot pillow below.

Pick up your copy of Mollie Makes May 1, when it hits the stands, and share your stitched stars with me. Seriously, can't wait to see people making these patterns! Tag me in your insta pics so I can comment with all the happy emojis.

That knot pillow, right?! What are you most excited to make?

Mollie Makes Outtakes

In the last issue of Mollie Makes #37 I contributed a constellation banner project. When I got the contributors copy I was so happy to see that they also included and feature story about me too! The headline, "Small yet mighty" makes me so happy. The issue is full of creative projects, and features my friend Jessica Pigza's new book Bibliocraft, and it even comes with a full kit(!) to make a hot pink argyle mug cozy.

I thought it would nice to share some of the images that didn't make it into the the magazine. I always try to sneak in a picture of my cats. It's a not so secret goal to make them internet famous. That's Bullet up there with a kitty fu manchu.

This is my favorite image from the bunch. I love this little collection of art and books from our living room.
