When the world is crazy, sometimes you need to break away with good people and be creative. This past weekend was a blast and exactly what I needed.

Gathering with good people who love and care for others.
Creating works of art.
And finding a place of belonging is priceless.

If you feel disconnected in the current climate of our nation or untethered by shifts in morality/kindness/love, then consider joining my next retreat. Come out and create something - a poem, painting, quilt, crochet, puzzle anything. You’ll be glad that you did!

I’m so grateful for these people who have come form near and far to help me find the connection, the tether, and the belonging I need.

As a male person of color, I found out fairly quickly how exclusive the quilt community can be. After one year of sewing/quilting, I decided that to find community you sometimes have to create community.

Along the way I began to find others who shared the same values of inclusion, kindness, and completion over perfection. That’s why I love String & Story. I don’t get there often (it’s a bit out of the way for me), but if you’re looking for an LQS that is unashamedly inclusive this is the place to go.

Where do you find radical acceptance, inclusion, kindness, and completion over perfection in your sewing/quilting world? Let me know in the comments below.

A coworker’s mother-in-law made quilts for all her grandchildren. Unfortunately, she passed away before she could finish this quilt for my coworker’s son. 😢

My coworker decided to jump into the world of quilting and finished the top. Her son and his partner (both mathematicians) will soon marry 🏳️‍🌈🎉🍾 and she’ll be gifting at the wedding.

This stitch pattern is from The Quilting Mill - love her patterns
