Sankofa! Happy New Year!: Happy New Year! We are starting 2020 with SANKOFA. Sankofa is a word from the Akan people of Ghana. It often translates to "go back and get it," though other translations are also popular. In general, Sankofa reflects the idea of learning from the past. "Remembering our past to protect our future" and "Go back to the past and bring forward what is useful" are two examples of this. The word is visually represented by two Adinkra symbols. One symbol is of a bird with its feet facing forward, its head turned back to retrieve an egg. The second symbol is of a styled heart. Today's episode looks back at the origins of Black Women Stitch, some of our 2019 events, and what we are excited about in 2020. by Stitch Please

The museum also invited SJSA to contribute a quilt block for their ongoing Block of the Month challenge. Each block reflects a museum exhibit. When the SJSA block was posted to the Block of the Month Facebook page on January 1st, the reaction swiftly revealed that white fragility is widespread in quilting, sewing, and maker spaces.

Stitch Please Swatches: Holiday Swatches Vol 4: Welcome back stitchers! We are sew excited to bring you a new tradition to the Stitch Please Podcast: Holiday Swatches. A fabric swatch is a small sample of fabric that allows you to visualize a project before cutting into yardage.

This swatch series is here to celebrate the stitch please community by hearing from you all. For the month of December we will be sharing Holiday Sewing Traditions. In the final edition of 2023 we hear all about New Years Eve dresses, some adorable ideas for advent calendars (it's never to early to start!), the importance of a thoughtful gift and Eid!
