My first History Zine workshop is one week today! I'm so excited to be teaming up with Portsmouth Museums to explore their collection as part of Bookfest 2022. Come along and tell the story of an interesting object in a narrative booklet.

Lockdown quilt update - it's still progressing! I've added lots of slogans, soundbites and headlines from the press and daily briefings. Not meant to be political but just the things that I've taken in or have stood… https://t.co/tYSC63wyyj

In case anyone is wondering how I'm spending my evenings in lockdown here is the answer- I'm making a large art quilt (it's as big as my kitchen table!) that is a stitched journal of my lockdown experience. There are… https://t.co/wDA1b1E0zd

I've been asked a few times this week what the best way to start Stitchbooking is, especially for people who are new(ish) to sewing.

My advice is definitely to start with one of my Blank Stitchbook Bundles, which… https://t.co/HqfP45RlWi

It's a difficult time for everyone with uncertainty and anxiety everywhere, but I've also seen lots of people trying to stock up on craft supplies and projects for time spent at home. So I'm running a 10% off sale… https://t.co/AvuHLDQtky

@MarenCronin Yay! So glad it reached you ok! Thanks and pleased you like it.

[Kim Burton @Kim_edith]

[Kim Burton @Kim_edith]
