I've been MIA for a while. Things in my life have been a whirlwind of happenings; some good, some not so good. I've not sewn anything in quite a while. I'm hoping to get things in my life back in order SOON so I can sew & participate & share once again. Have a blessed rest of the week & in the new month ahead.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been told to NEVER touch the tension dial on your sewing machine if you don’t absolutely have to and even then with trepidation.

Good morning to all my Sewing friends! 🤩 Let’s see it… What’s everyone been up to this week? New projects, old projects, and everything in between! I think you all are going to LOVE my latest YouTube video because it’s a super easy, beginner friendly tutorial/sew-along on how to make one of those adorable, trendy ruffled wristlet keychains that are so popular right now. The wristlet that I create in the video is for my friend, our very own @Betty Johnson (one of our Sewing Academy Mods) who was just recently paired with her amazing service dog Nimble. Betty & @Joan DeFoe (Mimi) are creating a beautiful charity quilt to raise money for the service dog organization. Maybe they’ll show us some pics here and share some details as they work through the process. HINT HINT ladies!!! Bring us along for the journey. Anyhoo, My little sewing helper Finny makes an appearance in the tutorial video in a Canine show of support for his new friend Nimble. You can watch it here! Enjoy and let me know what you think. Ok now it’s your turn… SHARE AWAY…. we can’t wait to see 👀 AND if you make a wristlet, we will definitely want to see that too!!

Good morning sewing friends, my sister, one of the FabGrannies, made this awesome quilt and asked if I would quilt it for her. Well it’s finally on the long-arm and ready to be quilted. Now I have to decide on color of threads. I know I will be using the aqua/turquoise color, then trying to decide on the other color. This is going to be a two step process that I haven’t done yet! Yikes! Also, Christmas quilt is finally completed will post pictures a little later. Have fun today, show us your projects or what you’re working on. Happy sewing, sewing friends.
