Made two aprons to give as gifts. It’s been a busy weekend. I’m traveling for today to Ohio to see a very special person. No sewing for me for the next 11 days! Have fun sewing, sewing friends.

Did a little extra to the little heart. Quilted, then did an edging on it with a little bow! So cute

As you know I’m making a bear for a little girl that is five years old. Pinky Bear needed a heart, so here is a quilted heart for Pinky Bear. So much fun to make.

It’s Monday again and I can hardly believe it! For me this past week has been a whirlwind considering my 6 day VERY BUSY work trip to Minnesota. I’m so grateful for my job but I am really happy to be home. As they say “there’s no place like home” 🏡 Chime in and let us know where you are joining us from this week. 🗞️ Here’s a little bit of fun news that I am super EXCITED about! The Skool platform has been secretly advertising our The Sewing Academy and other communities on Facebook & Instagram Meta ads for the past month!! It was such a SHOCK to open my social media a few weeks ago and see ads that I DID NOT place right there in my feeds. Talk about tears of JOY!!! I am so grateful for their faith in this humble little sewing community that we are building here. Skool recently released that they will be continuing to release these ads for us in the future in their new “Growth Boost” initiative.🚀 SOOOOO… if you see us advertised out in the wild on your FB or IG feeds, chime in in the comments BELOW THE AD and give a shout out or a little testimonial of The Sewing Academy. I would be SO grateful!!! Also, let us know here if you see one of these ads. I took screenshots of the few that I've seen, and will post them below. 💛 Let’s say Hello & give a WARM WELCOME to all of our lovely new sewing friends: @Maribel Rivera @Cynthia Rice @Ray Ponder @Alexis Batzel @Christine Allen @Silvia Pajuelo @Alyssa Primicias @Barbara Felder @Kirsten Cowie @Penelope Powell @Maha Lakshmi WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU!!!
