New wool thread collections in the shop! Just in time for autumn and halloween projects, I've got thread card collections in cozy earthy tones, toasty autumn hues, and lots of different colorways. Come over and have a look! Link to shop in profile. 😊 • • • #autumnmood #cozycolors #needleandthread #makersupplies #woolthread #cozywool #etsynl #etsysellersofinstagram #makersofinstagram #makersmovement #makerspace #woolembroidery #maisonsajou #lainestpierre #makersgonnamake #threadcards #embroideryfloss #embroiderythread #darning #darningwool #makedoandmend #groningen #handcraeft #handcraeftcollective #groningenlife

It's nearly autumn, and this time of year I think a lot about balance. I take stock of what the year has brought me, and celebrate achievements and happy moments. I try to let go of the things that don't serve me well anymore, and forgive myself for my shortcomings. I recognize the contrast between the light and dark things in life. These are the things I'm thinking about this week whilst stitching on this little gem. 🖤 • • #slowstitching #slowcraft #embroidering #embroiderersofinstagram #handsewing #handcraeft #woolwork #woolapplique #applique #appliquequilt #quiltinglove #quiltersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #makersgonnashare #crafttherapy #stitchtherapy #needlecraft #needleandthread #groningen #groningenstad #cityofgroningen #groningenlife

I'm so curious how people set up their studios and store supplies and merchandise. I have a webshop, so I could just put all my things away in boxes, but I don't really want to. I enjoy being surrounded my lovely things and find it helps to keep me in the mood for making. Here's one little treasure I scored at a local second-hand shop for a steal! What are your favorite studio storage ideas? • • #studiostorage #studiodecor #sewingstorage #sewingnotions #makerspace #makerspaces #makermovement #sewingstudio #studioinspirations #etsynl #etsynlseller #stitching #handsewing #stitchingsupplies #groningen #groningenstad #cityofgroningen #groningencity #groningenlife

Who loves autumn?! We're still a few weeks off, but the weather has definitely turned already here in NL. I made these little beauties last year, and I'm happy to hang this garland back on my mantle this morning. 100% Dutch wool felt appliquéd on teadyed muslin, hung from hemp string. 🍁 Anyone interested in a kit/workshop?! 🍁 #woolapplique #woolfeltapplique #woolfelt #autumn #autumndecor #autumndecorations #sweaterweather #handsewn #handstitched #handapplique #handmade #handcraeft #makersvillage #makerspace #cozyhomedecor #needleandthread #teadyed #autumnleaves #autumnleaves🍂 #groningen #groningenstad #cityofgroningen #groningenworkshops #etsynl

I've been on the lookout for some great hand quilting thread to use on my own projects as well as to add to the shop. Just got a box of this one to try! What's your favorite hand quilting thread? • • #handquilting #handquilted #quilting #quiltingthread #threadlove #threadmatters #handsewing #handstitching #etsynl #filsauchinois #appliquethread #handcraeft

Look at this beauty! Made my mom @thequiltingb1947 ❤️ She let me take it home this summer after our visit to Portland. It's hanging in my studio now and I just love it. • I keep eyeing my projects but today I'm working on the shop. I've just added a bunch of new wool thread colors! More colors, as well as linen thread, needle sets and basting threads coming in the next few days! • • #handmade #smallquilts #slowcraft #madebymom #colorandpattern #wallhanging #studiodecor #makerspace #quilting #handquilting #quiltersofinstagram #sewersofinstagram #needlecraft #needleandthread #slowliving #handcraft #handcraeft #makersvillage
