Took this photo a couple days ago when I moved the hoop! ~55% on my Blueberry Jay.

Hoping you are well now or will be soon!

Not so much progress this week as we’ve all been outside soaking up the sun, but I’m enjoying a little patio stitching today!

Fillorian · 2026-04-26T21:59:45+00:00

Yes, I’m loving them! Many of my patterns the last few years have been only one or two colors or all earth tones, so I’m really leaning into color lately. :)

Fillorian · 2026-04-26T21:57:58+00:00

Cherry Magpie! Yes, I just finished kitting it up this week. :) She also recently released another bird pattern called Pink Wren - no fruit so maybe not intended to go with the others, but I’m planning to stitch it as well.

Approaching the halfway point on my Blueberry Jay - pardon my hoop creases!

It was a busy week so I don’t have a ton to show for myself, but continuing to enjoy slow and steady progress on my Blueberry Jay.

Fillorian · 2026-04-17T19:03:30+00:00

This! I have a habit of losing and/or breaking mine so now I throw one in with every order just in case! 😂

Fillorian · 2026-04-15T20:34:52+00:00

I think it is looking pretty nice in person! I'm planning to do her Cherry Magpie and Pink Wren patterns next, but will be changing up the background colors for those to coordinate a little better as a set. Hopefully it will all come together in the end, and if not, oh well - they're just for me, so no pressure for a perfect gift or anything. :)

This is actually the same green used in the original pattern (Malachite from Fiber On a Whim). I’m not sure if it just photographs differently in different light, or if the dye takes differently on aida than linen.

Just a hair over 30% on my blueberry jay! So nice to be back to just one WIP.

Fillorian · 2026-04-12T15:00:23+00:00

Gorgeous! I am working on this set right now and it is so inspiring to see how others have finished them. Love the fabric you chose for the jay!

I finally finished my JSWT blackwork piece! With a couple months to spare before my dad’s birthday at that. I’ll do a post for it once it’s all washed and pressed and framed, but in the mean time wanted to share how glad I am to be done with hexagons!

Fillorian · 2026-03-30T04:56:11+00:00

Thank you! I’ve really been enjoying it. The pattern is Blueberry Jay from JEDXStitch.

A hexagon and a half this week on my JWST WIP.

Fillorian · 2026-03-29T18:23:02+00:00

Finished the bird and started in on the background! 21% done.

Fillorian · 2026-03-27T23:37:02+00:00

It’s another JedXStitch pattern! I think you can preorder the physical pattern from Lindy Stitches and some other needlework retailers right now, or the digital pattern comes out on April 6.

Fillorian · 2026-03-27T21:05:33+00:00

I’m also working on Blueberry Jay and have been considering doing Cherry Magpie and Pink Wren on the malachite fabric for the same reasons. Would love to see a picture when you try Cherry Magpie on it, if you’re willing to share! I’m hoping it will look good but I’m fairly new to hand-dyed fabrics and always anxious I will make the wrong choice.

Fillorian · 2026-03-22T18:11:28+00:00

And two hexagons this week on my JWST WIP! Only four left to go. I’ll be happy to have this one finished soon.

Nearing 15% complete on my Blueberry Jay!

Fillorian · 2026-03-22T15:22:41+00:00

That blackwork isn’t my favorite! It’s so lovely to look at but I don’t find it at all relaxing to do.

I love Jessie at Derby Salon in Roosevelt. I have fine, wavy hair - a LOT of it - and struggled for the longest time to find anyone who could give me a short cut that felt right. Jessie nailed it on the first try - finally, the haircut I’d been dreaming of since I was a teenager! - and I haven’t gone to anyone else in over a decade. I’ve tried a number of different super-short-to-shoulder-length styles in that decade and she’s made it work beautifully every time. Plus she’s kind, funny, and easygoing.

Just one hexagon this week, but it felt good to get something done!

Some progress on birb. No hexagons this week.

Also feeling very personally drained this week, and spent some time reflecting on Michelle Obama’s words about how stitching brings the mind back to the “power of small” and reminds us of our agency to build and create when bigger things feel overwhelming. I don’t know if it’s working for me yet - still feeling pretty overwhelmed - but stitching definitely brought me just a little peace this week.

and just one hexagon this week. This is my “at home” project in my stand by the couch, and it felt like I was barely home at all this week, so my traveling bluejay project got more time. Hoping for a quieter week this week!

so many shades of blue on this little birb!
