Hi! I’m Jan Hudson and I’m here to overshare my life with you!

My hobbies include (but are not limited to) quilting, sewing, machine embroidery and sometimes I combine all three! I have also discovered that I like paper crafting… a lot!

My thoughts on quilting and sewing is that it’s not a “little old lady” thing like people may hold a stereotypical viewpoint on. It’s more of an online spectator sport where some of us partake in things like extreme quilting. As in we can get extremely angry with our results or extremely proud. We are almost always extremely supportive of each other.

Some quilters are extremely big-hearted and will send fabric and supplies to those who don’t have them. Me? I craft and proclaim my observations of my art and my life to anyone who wants to read it. I’m a bit quirky, a lot unconventional, and not smart enough to realize that a project may be too advanced for me.

I make whatever I think “looks cool” and most of the time it works out (kinda sorta). But there is a lot of love, swearing, and music going into everything I make with a bit of true crime podcasts sprinkled here and there.

This all got started when I was asked by some of the kind people on the NQC Block Challenge Facebook page to start a blog after I began posting my “Observation of the Day” on the FB page. I have readers in many countries around the world and posted consistently until the Covid 19 virus interrupted our lives. I think it’s time to get back to it!

You might notice that I have opened a shop. I need to recoup some of my spending on my hoarding, er I mean my crafting supplies. That will be a separate section and I won’t nag you in my blog to go buy something. If you do check it out, you can either sign up for that newsletter or follow me on social media.

I hope you enjoy this journey with me and don’t forget to sign up for email notices for blog updates. Help me become famous – even if it is in my own mind!
