Quilty Weekend Inspiration [Issue 11]

Hello Reader, Fall is settling in, but the sunny Olivia Jewelry Case I sewed for the ByAnnie's #SewPink is giving me flashbacks to summer feels! If you've been on the fence about joining us, there's still time, I'd love to get to know you, sign up here! I've been designing new FPP patterns for the C&V Sewing Club and had to share what a difference using newsprint for FPP makes! I cannot believe I wasn't using this for years. I shared my favorite product in my Instagram stories last week and many of you messaged me for a link, so I want to share it here. If you haven't tried Quilter's Select Free Fuse for any non-fusible batting or interfacing, you're missing out! Better than spray baste because there's no aerosol or overspray, I use it all the time and love it! I've shared my love of Zipper Valley before, but they weren't shipping to the US because of the Canadian Postal Strike; shipping has resumed, yay! Head over and grab some strawberry clear vinyl before they sell out! Another thing I share in my Instagram stories that a lot of you messaged me about were my Frownies. I try to wear them every couple of nights, but I definitely notice a big difference when I wear them regularly. With the Olivia Sew Along in progress, I'm sharing my few favorite jewelry pieces over and over again, so I wanted to share a link to my all-time favorite earrings that I wear almost daily: Gold Full Moon Earrings by Balsamroot Jewelry. They're the perfect addition to anything I wear. Lasty, no link for this one, but if you live near Trader Joe's and haven't tried their Pumpkin Pancake Mix, it's in the stores now and our favorite fall treat! I don't have a reader find to share withyou this week, if you have something, we'd love to share it in our next issue! --- If you're new here and want to see the previous Weekend Inspiration posts, I've shared them all here so you can catch up. I hope you're loving the change of seasons as much as I am! Happy Sewing, |

Hello Reader, Stopping by your inbox today to share a little holiday sewing inspiration, as this is one of my favorite seasons to sew!

Hello Reader, Over the summer, my kids made quilts and they got them back from the quilter a couple of weeks ago. Now that it's turned cooler, we're getting them bound so they can use them on their beds in the winter! Now that it's turned cooler, we're getting them bound so they can use them on their beds in the winter! All my quilty finds are related to quilt binding this week. I have tried ALL the thimble options out there, and once I found the Roxette Thimble, there was no looking back. It...
Hello Reader, Happy weekend, friends! I've been in the depths of planning the Olivia Sew Along this last week, since it kicks off Monday.

I shared about buying bias tape st week, but this week I made a bunch myself and shared a little about that too, you can take a peek at my top tips on Instgarm here....
