Pin loom weaving! I bought a little 4" pin loom from a local farm/maker and got busy using up lots of my yarn stash. It was so much fun! I made cushions for our couch, and as gifts. Seeing the yarn work up into cloth was pure magic.

Iranian photographer Hossein Fatemi, offers a glimpse of an entirely different side to Iran than the image usually broadcasted by domestic and foreign media. In his photo series An Iranian Journey, many of the photographs reveal an Iran that most people never see, presenting an eye-opening look at the amazing diversity and contrasts that exist in the country.

It’s not immediately clear, but the two blocks represent poppies and their seed pods. I’ll be hanging this as a curtain, so I didn’t add any batting. Hopefully the colors come through the white backing in the sun.

Got a lot of help with the flying geese and square-in-a-square blocks from Patty Murphy’s book Piecing Makeover, which my gram lent me when she saw how poorly I was making quilt blocks. Highly recommend and happy to share pages from :)
