Team: Cabin Trailblazers
Project Name: Quilt Square
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: Thank goodness for the technology of sewing machines, I do know there are people that piece by hand, but I do NOT have the patience for that, even though I do occasionally like a little bit of meditative hand sewing. This was a square made by request for a retirement present, and while it’s not perfect, the person who asked me to make it seemed thrilled with it!

Project Name: Pokemon Wallet(s)
Brief Description: I was visiting a friend whose kids are obsessed with Pokemon. They wanted wallets, she had fabric, and so these rather wonky things were born (she had pins and a sewing machine but no rulers, so I don’t think we had a true right angle anywhere on these). I used a tutorial I found on pinterest and have since lost.

You guys! You won’t believe what happened!
So, I got on the bus heading for camp, and the driver was clueless!
We drove all over the place. First, he took us to this forest looking place. It seemed like it might be right, but it turned out to be Gravity Falls. After that, we got to this random island (no idea how a bus managed to get to an island) and met a bunch of lotus eaters. Not sure how long we spent there, but we managed to continue and he finally found the camp!
I think with all this wandering about, I’ll settle in the Trailblazers cabin this time, maybe work on my map reading and navigation skills.

Brief Description:
I know I would be completely lost without technology, and also would have never “met” the wonder people here on LC. But, I had to choose nature here. I love it and enjoy it so much, the beach, the trees, the crows visiting my window. So, a little bit of nature with this cute mushroom.

Now I’m off to decorate my cabin and catch up on everything I missed. I heard there’s some strange stuff going on here too.

Brief Description: I used my July Arts & Crafts Club cookie cutter to make a cuff bracelet! It features things sort of nature adjacent. And I would absolutely expect some plants like that at a haunted house.

Project Name: Celestial Moth Magnet
Project Link: Moth Magnet
Brief Description: I’m not a fan of moths in real life, but I love how my embroidery machine transformed an everyday pest into something lovely. Although technology played a key role in creating this piece, the finished project ultimately evokes the quiet magic of nature.
Also, I feel like there’s a good likelihood there would be moths living in a haunted house.

Brief Description: This summer, while up in Nova Scotia, Canada, I took a whale watch and we saw a whole bunch of humpback whales. They can be identified by the markings on their tails, or flukes. This isn’t a specific whale, but it represents what the markings can look like.

Brief Description: I made this at the request of Mr SBC’s coworker. I still have no idea who Yoru is, and I was definitely not prepared to make it. I didn’t realize it had so many flipping pieces. Plus, I had to send the hubby to the store to buy safety eyes because I couldn’t find any of the bajillion I already have anywhere. I need to work on my craft room…
