Projects completed in 2020.

I thought I’d had a pretty uncreative year, what with lockdown depression and everything, but although it was mostly small projects, I did actually manage to get quite a few things finished.

January

February

March

March was busy, and then it got weird. So nothing really finished, but I did do a few quick sketchy things:

A cartoon I (badly) drew at a workshop with the amazing Sam Orchard during Pride week

A couple of sketches I didn’t hate from a life-drawing class during Pride week

A bear to hang in my window for the We’re Not Scared NZ Bear Hunt

April

And the bear was then joined by a couple of Easter eggs

May

June

A lot of stuff in progress, but nothing finished.

A huge string of bunting in Pasifika fabrics for my union

The first…

emester starts tomorrow, so I was hoping to spend the weekend on a last burst of sewing to get the last two birds done. But best laid plans and all that – I’m coming down with a cold (not *too* bad so far, but as almost everyone I know has had some variety of nasty…

Block of the Whenever #4

Another very traditional block, the Ohio Star. But unlike the other blocks I’ve made so far, which have just used two fabrics (plus the background), this time I’m adding a third fabric: Technically you can make an Ohio Star with just two colours (or even one, if you kept the central square the same as…

I’ve actually been home for a few days, but they still felt like holiday days, mainly because Brother and the two boys came back to Christchurch with me. The trip to Christchurch was their (and my!)
