It is almost the season to start thinking about projects for 2026. Especially if you have been thinking about making a temperature project. Maybe a quilt or an embroidery or a scarf that records the temperatures. I have made a couple of that kind of project. Both embroideries. And a quilt where I tracked my daily steps in…2020!
I put all my tips for that kind of project together in an ebook: Temperature Quilts, Embroideries and Other Slow Craft Projects. It is full of inspiration and suggestions. Like How to work out a temperature scale; Deciding on the size of the project; DMC thread colour range for a temperature project; Kona cotton colour range for a temperature project; Interviews with others about their projects; Templates and tracking spreadsheets and lots more!
The ebook explains what a temperature project is. It also gives you permission to do this kind of project on your own terms (i.e. take all the time you want/need) and to quit if the project isn’t speaking to you any more. Crafting is supposed to be fun, right? Atleast most of the time.
The ebook is mostly focused on temperature tracking projects but it also gives ideas for other things you can track with some kind of craft project. My own projects have been embroidery (and a daily step count quilt) but in the interviews there are examples of crochet and knitting as well.
