End of the Year Wrap Up of Projects

 Oh, I've been so behind on updating this blog. Yikes!

 

This is a shirt I made. It says, "Everyone deserves due process." I don't use the word deserve lightly, but this is something I truly mean. 

 

This was something I made for my friend. It's something she embodies!

  

I have always loved Hawaiian quilts but I have never been able to make one. This is my attempt at having something akin to a Hawaiian quilt. It's box I made with an embroidery sampler version of a plumeria Hawaiian quilt pattern that Pacific Rim Quilt Company created and based on a box that Claudia Squio designed.  

 

This is a shirt I made for the No Kings Rally 

 

This is an alphabet banner I made for my friend's baby. It was a project in the the raised embroidery course by Adriana Torres that I took on Domestika.

 

This is a pair of jeans I embroidered with a design by Anna Alicia from Gathered Magazine. It was meant to be a banner for a child's bedroom but I loved it so much I decided to put on a pair of skinny jeans that planned to make a little less skinny!

  

This is Floe the Penguin designed by Carolyn Stanton. I made her for a friend.

 

This is a passion fruit flower (designed by Lucy Freeman in Love Magazine) pouch (designed by Amy Butler) with an A monogram designed by Mary Corbet.

 

 

This is Winter Birds by Jessica Long that I made into a hexagonal box. This is my very first attempt at making a hexagonal box! It's not as good as I want, but it's not bad!

 

 

This is a drawing my great grand aunt Minnie did that I then made into an embroidered piece.

This is a banner I made for the makerspace at the library. It is by Jessie Newton.

 

This is a heart I made in my Domestika course taught by Claire de Waard.

 

This is a napkin my mom made in the 80s that I used until it was threadbare that I then darned.

 

 This is a cricket my great grand aunt Minnie did that I then made into an embroidered piece.

 

This is a Halloween wreath designed by Sara Davey and in Love Embroidery.

 

This is an homage to my grandfather-in-law, Matsusaburo Hibi, and Marie Watt.

 

This is block Matsusaburo made and I emulated on wool because of the embroidery work of Marie Watt's. She does a lot with blankets, and there was an obvious connection to me between the US Army blanket in one of her pieces with the US Army blankets the Hibis were issued after being removed from their homes and imprisoned during World War II. My wool is some Pendleton wool my mom gave me, so she's in this homage too. Pendleton wool having importance in a lot of Native communities as well as being cherished by my mom. I chose the colors I did because of a painting Matsusaburo did of two mountain lions. It is essentially the mirror image of the block print below.

 

These are some baskets I made based on Suzy Quilts pattern.

 

This is a Thanksgiving banner I made. I took some drawings made by Draw So Cute and made this to embroider.

 

This is a pillow-to-be, called Tis the Season by Emma Congdon  in Love Embroidery and a sweater my friend saw that looks shockingly similar.

 

  

This is a stitch sampler I designed for my colleague to make.

 There are a couple more in the works but not yet presentable!
