** PRE - Jolly bar sew a Quilt **
I'm thinking of making one of the quilts using a jolly bar I have.. anyone interested?
If you have the book and more than 1 jolly bar (or half a layer cake or cut from your fabrics you have), let's make a quilt! I'll talk about this more on my Daily Video too
LEAVE ME A COMMENT about this idea
** Next Sew along - Going on a Picnic **
Next Mystery Block Wednesday Starts June 24!
** xstitch **
I'm having a lot of fun learning something new, cross stitch! This is the Mystery Month of May project. I'm taking my own advice and doing section 3 even though section 2 is not done. That way i don't feel 'so behind' .. I prefer to go back and catch up.
Do you have a favorite teaching book for cross stitch? I'd like to read one.

** Good Morning Mugs table runner sew along July 23 **
I just LOVE this table runner! I've got it on order and will host a sew along for it starting July 23!
The kit is very reasonable and the fabric is darling! I am thinking of reducing the number of mugs and putting in a patchwork block of some type. I will only use the fabric in the kit
The kit comes in a great box and there is rick rack trim, so darling!!

** Vintage Christmas Sew Along coming in July **
The sew along for this quilt in Vintage Christmas will be in late July into August.. I am getting a limited number of kits made with the Deer Christmas line so it will be a bit lighter than the one in the book. Its a darling line! I will let you know as soon as the kit fabric is in and they are cut.

** Word of the year **
Each month I'm (trying) to stop and take a break to be sure I'm living my word of the year... which ended up a phrase of the year... "Being Intentional"
With the crazy upside down and backwards life we are living during the world wide pandemic, it's hard to focus at times. I get distracted, I have blah days, I then have wonderful days, productive days, and sometimes I have days that feel like the movie 'Ground hog day'. Each day is exactly the same as the one before (thanks Dad for sticking that thought in my head!)
All in all I do feel that whatever type of day I'm having, I'm working hard to be intentional about what I'm doing. I'm being the best that I can be on that day.
So I think it's a win so far this year
What about you?
oh.. and thank you for reading to the end.. this turned into a mini-novel!
