(Late to the party, just made mine.) It is stunning., had to pause to take a detailed look. Normally stars especially 3, 5 & 6 legged variety not my 'favourite' - love the form of these 4 legged ones. Would make a lovely digital print on fabric. 🙏
Oh! I had to stop the video right after the quilt post to exclaim! It is so beautiful I was led to tears. In this time of so much strife in the world, it is so wonderful to see how when the pieces made by individual stitchers from around the world are put together something so beautiful is created. My star was not in that post because I have yet to post on facebook. Maybe I will make that happen today! Thank you all who participated!
This is a song my Mother in Law sang to her grandkids and I sing to mine now. "I see the moon and the moon sees me, the moon sees somebody I can't see, God bless the moon and God bless me, and God bless the somebody I can't see. God bless my Mother-in-Law ❤
After listening to the whole video,a memory can back from so long ago. My dutch mother used to sing me a song about the moon. I then hunted on google and found it after 60 years. I felt i could hear Mum all over again. Thank you for bringing back this memory. I will stich a photo of Mum on my moon😊
Oh I must tell you, I woke early and was watching this video, when I became aware of a light in the window. Not a reflection of my screen or my lamp. It was the moon, a glorious left handed curve of a half moon. It felt truly magical !
The friendship star was one of the first blocks I learned as a new quilter, and twenty some years later it still is. What a creative graphic. Thanks for thinking of it.
The virtual quilt is beautiful, imagine it in real, wouldn’t that be wonderful, a project made by people all over the world. Not fighting but sewing ❤ Tineke
For the first time in my life I love Monday, and in fact look forward to it. Getting settled with my coffee and let the day start with you! 🤗🤗 That virtual quilt put a frog in my throat. How fortunate we are to have each other
@@k3n.clothtales I’ve chosen a rabbit for my piece this week. Our granddaughter turns two today and she is fascinated with them so I feel like this is my totem for the foreseeable future 🩷 And YES!!! Next year a quilt?!? That is phenomenal! I’ll start dreaming of coliors now so I’m ready 🌸🌸🌸 I’m here for the long journey with you FOR SURE. this is home.
Beautiful! I definitely will be continuing to learn from you, Kathryn, for as long as you wish to keep sharing. I resonate strongly with your ethos on life and stitching.❤
I so look forward to your videos 🙏🏼❤️ so happy you decided to make one today 😃 you give background and it’s apparent that you have knowledge about so many things that include sewing and crafting. And that you have sound values ❤️ Thank you 🙏🏼
My grandmother said when she was teaching me to sew, would say ”a lazy tailor, takes a long thread”. I think of it still today when pulling out the thread…I am in my 80’s and if I get tangles it is because I took a long thread…too funny…love the relaxing videos…and I sure enjoyed the friendship star…so much I am hand making blocks…❤️hugs from Michigan U.S.😊
My goodness. All the stars looked amazing together... I wouldn't have known where to begin to put that all together as an image! I think your wolf looked almost like it was from a cave painting. You picked the perfect marks for the moon piece of cloth too.... Also I totally agree with you about the running stitch. There is so much it can do.... Love it all Stitching Sister....
That moon fabric is perfect! I appreciated hearing about rust and how it stays in the fabric. I had no idea. And the tip that it might dull your scissors. No rust on you (i.e. never a dull moment on your channel)!
Kathryn… you are just so darn interesting! I started going to bed earlier so I can get through more of your video! Your ideas are so unique! Sending hugs, 💜
Interesting prompt stitching multiple layers. I love the Journal with the different sizes and shapes of pages. I would love see a video about one. Many thanks for sharing. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx
I love what you say about slow stitching is about the process. It really is. And I agree the back is part of that. It occurs to me that it's actually life. The part we allow people to see is pretty and in order. But behind all that perfect, beautiful life is usually a jumbled up mess😂 that isn't very pretty but a necessary part of the journey of life. 😃
Wow - Deborah did such a great job collating all of those beautiful friendship stars into the virtual quilt at 3:31 Absolutely stunning! Kathryn, your she wolf is glorious! Dances with Wolves is one of my favourite films although it always makes me cry. The sound of a wolf howling always gives me full body chills... 🐾🐺🌕 Amazing how much our teachers affect us. My needlework teacher, Mrs Daggett, was very strict and hardly ever gave praise so when she gave me an A for my bias binding (all the way around an apron) I was thrilled and I've loved doing it ever since. I definitely won't be abandoning you in 2025. Very relieved that our project won't involve wrestling with yards of wedding etc. 😂 Mary x
Oh yes I love that film too, the beautiful Stands With A Fist. ♥️ I am pleased to hear you are good at bias binding, there is an upcoming tutorial that I think you will love and I was in two minds whether to finish the edges of the Thing with bias binding or not. So thank you, just for you I shall. Although I am not sure mine would be up to Mrs Daggett's exacting standard 😂♥️♥️♥️
I so look forward to these videos. Day behind on commenting, however I did want to say thank you and a tutorial on one of those "wonky" journals would be such fun!
The beautiful virtual quilt! That entrancing moon and the wonderful story of the moon rakers …..I m only halfway through watching this week’s video and I m entranced with it all 🧡
There was 6 successful missions to the moon. 13 was the only one that failed. The movie was an accurate depiction on the event.I look forward to your videos during the week. Thank you.
Thank you, someone else also told me there were six manned missions, I only knew about the one. 🤭 Also someone said that the woman who played Hanks' mother in the film was his actual mother, that's amazing. ❤️
I love that you love the running stitch K3n! Because it's my favourite stitch. About your next year's quilt project, I've been doing the "modular" technique for years. I make mini quilts and I join them like EPP. I read this is the way that "pot holder quilts" were made in the past. Thank you for your peaceful and inspiring videos. ❤
I love watching your videos, I found your channel after watching Marion and I've learnt so much from you both. I do a lot of eco-printing and have been using them for stitching on, my most recent piece has a full moon and hares very similar to your wolf with lots of running stitch 😂(I also love Jude Hill ☺)
As always I love this week. Moons and she wolves are close to my heart. I’m glad you didn’t do chickens and eggs 😂. Tom Hanks films are ace, I cry every time I watch Castaway when he loses Wilson.😂❤x
I love running stitch! Thanks for pointing us to Marion's World for the more fancy stitches! I only did three layers but I am pleased with my she wolf. As an aside in the States we are all aware of March Madness college basketball championships. The North Carolina State University's mascot is a wolf, both Men's and Women's teams won the Championships this year so my wolf is definitely a She Wolf!!
Your eclipse She Wolf is magnificent! I really love your chiffon layer and have some silk organza I dyed 27 years ago that NEEDS to become something similar 🤣 There were, as usual, so many points I wanted to reply to but for today will just add that I am over the Moon that you are intending to continue with us next year AND that you are busy conjuring up a quilt project! Although I don't want to wish away any of the much anticipated Mondays or Wednesdays between now and then I can't wait! I've been struggling with my very unbalanced gift making vs my own experimenting, development and I can see that next year I'm going to jump in and prioritise The Quilt!!!! thank you thank you k3n ❤❤❤❤❤ Ooh, and funny thing. 2 weeks ago I had the same question about the moon in southern vs northern hemisphere and discovered the same as you so it must be true 😁 with gratitude from down under. X
Thank you so much, I find that most cloth eventually finds its place in something. I am pleased you found out the same thing about the moon only recently, I thought maybe I was being thick 😂♥️
I love running stitch also. I love the texture it creates, the feel of the stitched cloth. We still have wolves in our area, mainly in the rural area but they occasionally can be seen in town. Lovely animals. We also get bear, lynx and an abundant quantity of deer. Enjoyed your moon-raker story😁. So there will be a total solar eclipse here next Monday. Looking forward to not looking directly at that lol. Thanks for sharing your stitching and your stories Kathryn.
@@k3n.clothtales After further investigation I found we will only experience a partial eclipse here. Path of totality is further southeast from me. In North America it will travel through Mexico, several US states then through Niagara and then the east coast of Canada and into the North Atlantic.
Hi K3n, Another awesome project this week, no surprise there 😂 I wouldn’t worry about us abandoning you at the end of the year if i was you, I can’t see that happening, we can’t get enough of your ideas, knowledge and energy… I would love you to come to Australia, you can break the trip. 😘
I've certainly gotten used to having you around too!! I am musing about my layered piece, which is part of what I enjoy about your weekly prompts and approaches. 🙂
One thing I really appreciate about your prompts is the relaxed attitude you have about fulfilling them. I'm more likely to do a bat than a wolf on my moon. 😁 (Or I may just sew on the charm I have of a witch on a broom!)
The timing of this video is amazing. Just yesterday I inherited a family quilt that we guess was made in the 1930’s. It’s made of bedsheets with beautiful big butterflies appliquéd from scrap fabrics. I was wondering how she went about all the steps and this video is helping me figure it out! 🕵️♀️
This week’s prompt is right up my street Kathryn. I feel a great affinity with wolves too. Wonderful creatures. Thank you as ever for your inspiring videos ❤
I realize that I like the variety of running stitches, as you mentioned. It's a versatile stitch and faster than the others 😂. It still took me a week of evenings to cover a 2 inch x 16 inch strip, but very satisfying and beautiful... meditation scroll (my 1st) I always look forward to all your videos. You are a wonderful instructor, and I love your wit 😂❤.
Oh how I love listening to your wonderful stories, so interesting, long may they continue. As for the star quilt, WOW how wonderful it is. I wished my star had been part of it but I never post my “creations”, lack of confidence etc but I feel part of it anyway. Just love this community you have created K3n, long May it continue
Love listening to you chat while learning please come to Australia you will love it here in Brisbane we are enjoying a subtropical autumn it's just beautiful thankyou Kathryn for your videos they are great company
Yay it's Monday! I so look forward to your weekly prompt thank you so much Kathryn. I will definitley be with you next year. I hope you had a lovely Easter break. xx Love Bella xx
Wonderful concept this wk. (as usual) and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the moon rakers and all the other tidbits. We have a total solar eclipse coming up this week which makes this even more meaningful. So many versions of this could be explored. I love wolves especially the black wolf seen near our home this spring and the coy-wolf who scurries by many evenings, into the woods.
Really enjoyed your company on this rainy afternoon in Cornwall .🐺 Loved seeing your she wolf in the making , brilliant . Looking forward to the next video 💗x
each monday, when I wake up I check Facebook. And some very quick person has always already completed the weekly project. So fast. So I look at it and think, "now how is that made"? So i open Kate's video and see the wondrous project broken down to steps. Thank you so much for your imaginative ideas. My favourite ones are like the moon wolf, not a lot of measuring, not a lot of turning seams.
Thanks K3n. I usually follow your videos using the subtitles because my English level is not enough to understand your comments but the translation didn't work in this time. Anyway, I could look at the whole process. Thank you very much
@@judithgrace8359 thank you, they work now for me too. I think as they are auto-generated, sometimes it just takes a while. I am happy I didn't press the wrong button at least. 😁♥️
And there’s me thinking Moonraker was something to do with James Bond!!!!! Thank you, as ever, for such a wonderful video and another amazing theme. You are a treasure ❤️🙏
LOL, I always you my mouth when splitting the tread. Glad I'm not the only one. Love this project, wolves are my favorite animal. We defiantly will not abandon you on the 31st December.
I wonder if December WILL be the last month in 2024 😂 You crack me up sometimes and I love doing this project with you. Although, I'm a quilter and it seems old to me... I will be there in 2025. You always show me a new way to see things. Thanks!
Definitely wanting to continue seeing and listening to you when we move into 2025. It’s scarey how quickly that is coming around. Another school year is about to start for the majority here in the UK. My colleagues of the past will be wondering where the 6 weeks has gone though most will have been working on and off most of the time anyway. I’m rewatching as I cannot remember watching your streams some and others my timeline says I’ve not watched even though I know I’ve seen parts of most.
There’s a saying about Swifts that in their lifetime on the wing they fly as far as the Moon and back. I imagine that in your lifetime you’ve stitched enough running stitches to reach the Moon and back...
My reaction when i see theres a new K3n video is becoming very similar to when my son hears that there’s a new Spiderman movie out😎 Anyway….also: when that same son was about 5 / 6 years old he always said he felt like he was a wolf. And when visiting the zoo, he would howl at the wolves and they would sometimes howl back at him, very special moments i will never forget. So looking foward to making this one. And love the words. And the ‘digital quilt’ oh wow!!!🍀💖
Oh!! I have that same tin box that you use for your embroidery thread! I use it for my drawing pens and pencils. My son lives in Switzerland (I’m in the US) and I always ask for a tin of chocolates for Christmas. I now have a lovely collection of tins and this one is a centerpiece!
I loved the friendship star "quilt." I did notice there were repeats. Is that right? Also the she wolf is so fun blacking out the moon into an eclipse. Funny how we assemble things in our minds because of associations we witness in nature. What if the wolves actually howled at the stars, and we have it all wrong? Your slow stitch for week 14 would still be marvelous. ❤
I always wondered where the term Moon-raker came from. I thought it referred to a person hat was so caught up with romanticism that they’d rather rake the moonlight than their fields. I think yours makes more sense.
Here I was happily trying my log cabins for the first time and this really caught my attention! I love the moon and I love wolves, however I immediately thought of an eagle, because I’d love to fly free as a bird… Just as a curiosity, in Portuguese, we say “o lobo” for the masculine and “a loba” for the feminine. And moon, “a lua”, is feminine and sun, “o sol”, is masculine. I love the English language, but I think it may lack something, due to the absence of feminine/masculine. I wasn’t the one who talked about the length of the thread, but in Portuguese we have an expression for those who use long threads: “linha de preguiçosa”, which means something like “thread of a lazy person”. My mother used to say that to me, but as she never did it in a depreciating manner, I still use a long thread 😂 I love the back of the pieces so much that, either I don’t cover them or I take a photo if I do 🥰 Ah! And don’t worry, I won’t abandon you on 31st December! I was one of the first subscribers, when you started filming your books flip throughs, so I will stay here forever 😉☺️💙💛🩷🧡🤍♥️💜💚🤎🩵
Thank you Alexandra, I know you have been here from the start and we were Instagram friends already before RUclips. Yes the thread thing was something like that but in English, it will come to me at one point. 😁❤️❤️❤️
Am greatly enjoying this piece, using linen (a lifelong favourite) & cotton. Much as I like wolves, my creature will be an owl in flight. Will post it on Facebook later. Meanwhile, thank-you for the explanation of "moonraker": what a delightful story. And the digital quilt is beautiful. Is there any way you could share a jpg of it with us to keep? (I find it hard to take screen shots on my phone.)
Hello and another lovely prompt. Thank you! I didn't quite understand how you clamped the coin into your cloth when you were using it as a resist. Could you find a minute to explain?

My mouth dropped in awe. That digital quilt is stunning. If it was an actual piece, it would give happiness every day to its owner.
😍😍😍😍
Wouldn't it just 🥰❤️
(Late to the party, just made mine.)
It is stunning., had to pause to take a detailed look. Normally stars especially 3, 5 & 6 legged variety not my 'favourite' - love the form of these 4 legged ones.

My Granny sang something similar ❤️
This one is so simple, but says so much. Thank you again. The best to you.
i loved when you said "triumph of hope over experience" - i am very familiar with this and now i have a phrase to identify it 😂

That's a beautiful memory. Do share the song if you will.
@theresamitchel7056 it's called Maantje Tuurt .
I looked it up. Such a pretty lullaby and beautiful memory
Beautiful piece. I not only learn about stitching but also other morsels of interesting facts about the wider world. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Gosh I love you. What a fun and beautiful video
Oh I must tell you, I woke early and was watching this video, when I became aware of a light in the window. Not a reflection of my screen or my lamp. It was the moon, a glorious left handed curve of a half moon. It felt truly magical !

The timing of this video is amazing. Just yesterday I inherited a family quilt that we guess was made in the 1930’s. It’s made of bedsheets with beautiful big butterflies appliquéd from scrap fabrics. I was wondering how she went about all the steps and this video is helping me figure it out! 🕵️♀️
That sounds wonderful, what a treasure ❤️
This week’s prompt is right up my street Kathryn. I feel a great affinity with wolves too. Wonderful creatures. Thank you as ever for your inspiring videos ❤
My pleasure Anne ❤️
I love love love ripples lol ❤❤
I realize that I like the variety of running stitches, as you mentioned. It's a versatile stitch and faster than the others 😂. It still took me a week of evenings to cover a 2 inch x 16 inch strip, but very satisfying and beautiful... meditation scroll (my 1st)
I always look forward to all your videos. You are a wonderful instructor, and I love your wit 😂❤.
Thank you Sheila 😊
Brenda: “Hope over experience”. I love that! Thank you for sharing❤️
Oh how I love listening to your wonderful stories, so interesting, long may they continue. As for the star quilt, WOW how wonderful it is. I wished my star had been part of it but I never post my “creations”, lack of confidence etc but I feel part of it anyway. Just love this community you have created K3n, long May it continue
Thank you so much Jean, of course you must do you but the Facebook group is the most positive and supportive bunch of people ❤️❤️❤️
Love listening to you chat while learning please come to Australia you will love it here in Brisbane we are enjoying a subtropical autumn it's just beautiful thankyou Kathryn for your videos they are great company
I would love to one day ♥️
Yay it's Monday! I so look forward to your weekly prompt thank you so much Kathryn. I will definitley be with you next year. I hope you had a lovely Easter break. xx Love Bella xx
Thank you Bella, it's lovely to have you here ❤️
Wonderful concept this wk. (as usual) and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the moon rakers and all the other tidbits. We have a total solar eclipse coming up this week which makes this even more meaningful. So many versions of this could be explored. I love wolves especially the black wolf seen near our home this spring and the coy-wolf who scurries by many evenings, into the woods.
I only learnt about the solar eclipse this morning, I must go read up about where it can be seen. ❤️
Loved it all (as always!). I,m soooo behind...life... 😞 Janine x
No rush, just enjoy the process ☺️
I love this session ❤
I am learning to embrace mistakes as they have led to many spin offs. Especially the friendship ⭐
Really enjoyed your company on this rainy afternoon in Cornwall .🐺 Loved seeing your she wolf in the making , brilliant . Looking forward to the next video 💗x
Pleased you enjoyed it, love Cornwall, even in the rain ☺️
Another great video … I love your words at the end .
Thank you so much 😊
We had a blood moon for our lunar eclipse in Melbourne Australia. Lucky us 🌝
each monday, when I wake up I check Facebook. And some very quick person has always already completed the weekly project. So fast. So I look at it and think, "now how is that made"? So i open Kate's video and see the wondrous project broken down to steps. Thank you so much for your imaginative ideas. My favourite ones are like the moon wolf, not a lot of measuring, not a lot of turning seams.
I don't know how they do it either 😁 thank you, I am trying to provide variety each week so there's something for everyone ❤️
Thanks K3n. I usually follow your videos using the subtitles because my English level is not enough to understand your comments but the translation didn't work in this time. Anyway, I could look at the whole process. Thank you very much
I'm sorry, they don't work for me either, they should be there, I enabled them. So sorry about that. 🤔❤️
FYI they worked for me in San Antonio, Texas.
@@judithgrace8359 thank you, they work now for me too. I think as they are auto-generated, sometimes it just takes a while. I am happy I didn't press the wrong button at least. 😁♥️
Very pretty
Thanks
Thank you so much 😊
This is great 😊
And there’s me thinking Moonraker was something to do with James Bond!!!!! Thank you, as ever, for such a wonderful video and another amazing theme. You are a treasure ❤️🙏
😁 I think it's that too ♥️

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
LOL, I always you my mouth when splitting the tread. Glad I'm not the only one. Love this project, wolves are my favorite animal. We defiantly will not abandon you on the 31st December.
Thank you Ann ☺️
I wonder if December WILL be the last month in 2024 😂 You crack me up sometimes and I love doing this project with you. Although, I'm a quilter and it seems old to me... I will be there in 2025. You always show me a new way to see things. Thanks!
My pleasure, I am sure I can break a few 'rules' and maybe surprise (shock?) even the seasoned quilters 😂❤️
Definitely wanting to continue seeing and listening to you when we move into 2025. It’s scarey how quickly that is coming around. Another school year is about to start for the majority here in the UK. My colleagues of the past will be wondering where the 6 weeks has gone though most will have been working on and off most of the time anyway.
I’m rewatching as I cannot remember watching your streams some and others my timeline says I’ve not watched even though I know I’ve seen parts of most.
Yes it's feeling positively autumnal ❤️
There’s a saying about Swifts that in their lifetime on the wing they fly as far as the Moon and back. I imagine that in your lifetime you’ve stitched enough running stitches to reach the Moon and back...
Thank you that's a lovely thought ☺️
Love wolves also, so misunderstood. Beautiful creatures..
I think some of it must be blamed on Little Red Riding Hood 😁♥️
Thank you for sharing this wonderful project ❤
My reaction when i see theres a new K3n video is becoming very similar to when my son hears that there’s a new Spiderman movie out😎 Anyway….also: when that same son was about 5 / 6 years old he always said he felt like he was a wolf. And when visiting the zoo, he would howl at the wolves and they would sometimes howl back at him, very special moments i will never forget. So looking foward to making this one. And love the words. And the ‘digital quilt’ oh wow!!!🍀💖
I cannot however climb up walls or spin webs from my hands 😂 would be good if I could produce spider silk, I could stitch with it. 😉❤️
@@k3n.clothtales Oh Kathryn that really cracks me up!!!😂💖🍀
🕷️🕸️🕷️
My 🐈⬛ howls while he’s preparing to drink from his water bowl 🤔
So I howl back of course and we have a conversation 😂
@@rosywilson3076 of course you do 😂♥️♥️♥️
Oh!! I have that same tin box that you use for your embroidery thread! I use it for my drawing pens and pencils. My son lives in Switzerland (I’m in the US) and I always ask for a tin of chocolates for Christmas. I now have a lovely collection of tins and this one is a centerpiece!
Wonderful, we are tin twins 😁❤️
I loved the friendship star "quilt." I did notice there were repeats. Is that right? Also the she wolf is so fun blacking out the moon into an eclipse. Funny how we assemble things in our minds because of associations we witness in nature. What if the wolves actually howled at the stars, and we have it all wrong? Your slow stitch for week 14 would still be marvelous. ❤
Very possibly, that is an excellent point. Or perhaps they just put their head back for maximum volume from the throat. 😉♥️
@@k3n.clothtalesDoesn't the librarian in you have the itch to know where the idea of wolves howling at the moon came from?
I always wondered where the term Moon-raker came from. I thought it referred to a person hat was so caught up with romanticism that they’d rather rake the moonlight than their fields. I think yours makes more sense.
Thank you and you are lovely 🪡🧵♥️
😊 thank you
Here I was happily trying my log cabins for the first time and this really caught my attention! I love the moon and I love wolves, however I immediately thought of an eagle, because I’d love to fly free as a bird…
Just as a curiosity, in Portuguese, we say “o lobo” for the masculine and “a loba” for the feminine. And moon, “a lua”, is feminine and sun, “o sol”, is masculine. I love the English language, but I think it may lack something, due to the absence of feminine/masculine.
I wasn’t the one who talked about the length of the thread, but in Portuguese we have an expression for those who use long threads: “linha de preguiçosa”, which means something like “thread of a lazy person”. My mother used to say that to me, but as she never did it in a depreciating manner, I still use a long thread 😂
I love the back of the pieces so much that, either I don’t cover them or I take a photo if I do 🥰
Ah! And don’t worry, I won’t abandon you on 31st December! I was one of the first subscribers, when you started filming your books flip throughs, so I will stay here forever 😉☺️💙💛🩷🧡🤍♥️💜💚🤎🩵
Thank you Alexandra, I know you have been here from the start and we were Instagram friends already before RUclips. Yes the thread thing was something like that but in English, it will come to me at one point. 😁❤️❤️❤️
The triumph of hope over experience 😂❤
Ah yes, we are all victims of it 😂❤️
There were 6 moon landings not just the one, I only know this because my husband is a space geek!
I stand corrected, how did I not know that? 😂❤️
More than likely because your husband isn’t a space geek like mine 😜
No, mine can tell you everything you want to know (or don't want to know) about motorbikes 😂♥️
Same here with aircraft 😂
@@rosywilson3076 I suppose they would say the same about us and our stitching but that IS interesting 😁♥️
Am greatly enjoying this piece, using linen (a lifelong favourite) & cotton. Much as I like wolves, my creature will be an owl in flight. Will post it on Facebook later. Meanwhile, thank-you for the explanation of "moonraker": what a delightful story. And the digital quilt is beautiful. Is there any way you could share a jpg of it with us to keep? (I find it hard to take screen shots on my phone.)
At 1:00 pm on Wednesday I finally found time for Monday morning. Today "you be you" means machine basting. I just have to get to best part quickly.
😁 ♥️
Draw round patterns on dark material with a slither from a bar of soap 23:23
That's a good idea ♥️
Tom Hanks was also the conductor on the Polar Express!
Yes! Great film. I actually insisted that we rewatch Castaway the other evening. As good as ever. 😁❤️
Hello and another lovely prompt. Thank you! I didn't quite understand how you clamped the coin into your cloth when you were using it as a resist. Could you find a minute to explain?
Hello, I just used a bulldog clip either side of the coin to clamp it to the cloth 😊
