​

Hello Reader,

I received a few more All About YOU submissions, so here they are!

I'll resume All About YOU in January, but you're welcome to share your work for future newsletters. And there are some new open calls to be published in print, too.

The take15 discount code ($15 Canadian dollars off) for subscriptions and renewals will be retired at the end of December. Now's the perfect time to start a subscription for 2026—you'll be supporting your own creativity and keeping UPPERCASE going strong, too.

Thank you!

ps For folks in the USA looking for both my Encyclopedias and some fine notions and gift ideas, Brooklyn Haberdashery has some excellent pairings.

Eclectic, informative, inspiring! My Notions book will always be a personal favourite—the topic, the graphic design... oh, and I wrote the entire book, too! This is an excellent volume for a sewist, quilter or textile artist.

Save 20% when you purchase this book as part of the Needle & Thread Bundle: Notions, Yarn-Thread-String and Stitch*illo.

Creativity from readers like you...

Mixed Media Collage
by Hayley Perry

I am the owner of a small rug hooking business in Warren, Rhode Island, called Loop by Loop Studio. My portfolio work has recently been focused on large wall textiles made from recycled garments, paintings, wool bits and bobs that surround me in my workspace. It began when I started using my discarded hooked rug pieces as parts in paintings on canvas, and quickly evolved into free-form, draped, sculptural wall pieces. I often collect discarded garments and papers to use in craft projects, so those types of materials have also found a home in these pieces. Instagram / Website​

Art by Hetal A Anjaria

I am a mixed-media artist, and I love to paint in various styles using pencil, colored pencils, watercolors, acrylics, and oils. I also love creating traditional Indian folk-style artworks such as Warli, Kalamkari, and Madhubani, using natural dyes and powders. I believe art can be explored in nature, our surroundings, or anything that inspires us to create something new. Instagram / Website​
