Happy Memorial Day, friends. Who’s sewing or up to anything else fun?
Yesterday I sewed–all day–and it was great.
I had some fun with konas. I’ve had this idea in my mind since getting back from Market, and so I played around with that.
Today might be less eventful in terms of sewing, but I’m optimistic that I can squeeze a little bit of something in later. First, I should try to get on top of some stuff before I head out to NYC in a few days. (Should being the key word here…)
But, I did want to mention a couple of fun things:
+ HUGE thanks to all the awesome local folks for meeting up with me at Bok Tower on Saturday. It was such a treat to connect with you guys! We have a wealth of creativity here in central Florida, and we should definitely get together more often. Who’s with me?
+ Next, I’m headed out to NYC this week and busily prepping for my workshop and book signing at Purl. (Can’t wait!) If you are interested in the class, there might still be spots available, and if you’re in town definitely make sure to come by for my book signing after the class ends at 5:00pm. I’d love to see you, and my book won’t otherwise be available until July.
+ The summer Road Trip Pattern Club early bird special ends today, so if you want to get in early, jump on it.
+ Last, I’ve got a designer bundle of some of my favorite solids up for sale at Pink Chalk. They’re celebrating their 6th birthday with lots of fun stuff. (Happy Birthday Pink Chalk!) I love Pink Chalk and was thrilled to be able to put together this set. It’s got so many of my favorite konas.
Pink Chalk is also being super generous and letting me give away a bundle here on my blog…so, to enter, leave a comment on this post about what sorts of fun summer sewing plans you’ve got up your sleeves. Comment until midnight Wednesday (May 28), and I’ll announce the winner Thursday (May 29).

Also need to re-watch a class I am taking so I can finish the rest of the star blocks. While I am prepping appplique blocks, once Stars & Sprigs is ready, I hop over to the Cvil War Brides Quilt and see if I can get at least the next 5 blocks ready for hand applique, and produce the templates for the remaining 10. And check in on Phoebe and finally figure out where Iwant to add wool to the center medallion and sew that all down. Maybe start on a few of her star blocks. Think I’ll finish all this??

Ooops! Forgot to say I’ve already started on a few Christmas gifts, quilted pillows and a couple of wall hangings.

I am in the process of designing and making a quilt for my granddaughter. I am moving a little out of my comfort zone. Wish me luck!

I have many quilts I want to finish and start this summer! Right now I’m finishing the piecing on our Guild’s block of the month, and then I’ll start on some projects that have been in my head for a while!

I am very excited to be finishing my first quilt (which happens to be your Sessons pattern) for my first daughter going to college in the fall. Got it pieced and starting to remove the paper now. I can’t wait. Love your designs

I am going to be traveling this summer and I am hoping to do some hand sewing. I was thinking of making some English paper pieced patterns so that I can work on the plane and in the hotels. I need solids because I never seem to have enough!
