Quilty Weekend Inspiration [Issue 2]
|
Hello Reader,, It's time for another edition of weekend inspiration. If you like this format, please let me know so I can continue it! One thing we noticed after moving to the DC area and then Pennsylvania, is so many people go to the beach every summer. If you're looking for the perfect pattern to celebrate your annual beach trip, look no further than Outer Banks by Emeral Falls Quilts. A few of you messaged that you weren't able to see the slow summer stitch along that Jennifer at Crimson Confection is hosting, so I'm sending a different link this time to see if that works. Check it out here.​ I love to use a cone of thread rather than individual spools. Since I mostly sew with pink or light gray, it's more cost effective to use a cone. I recently bought a second thread stand so I could use the thread on two machines at once, and I just bought a second Superior brand stand. I love it because you can also use a regular spool or bobbin on it. My mom gave me a bottle of Flatter for my birthday and my kids and I have been using it while making quilts, I've loved the scent it fills our dining room with while sewing, my favorite is Yuzu. I've been loving sewing with clear vinyl this summer. I've purchased it from a lot of different places, but my favorites are Zipper Valley and Sassafras Lane. I had my friend over to learn to quilt yesterday, we made a simple, two charm pack quilt top, and then I sent her home with a Fat Quarter Bundle and ordered her a copy of Tamara of Remi Vail Stutios Folk Fables Quilt Pattern. I'm excited to have another local friend who quilts! --- I hope you enjoy some of the things I've been enjoying this summer. If you enjoyed this email, please let me know. If you have soemthing you wish everyone knew about, hit reply and I'll try to share it next weekend! Happy Sewing, P.S. Want to sign up for the Back to School Summer Sew Along?

Hello Reader, It's time for our weekend inspiration! We're enjoying some surprisngly cooler weather in the Pittsburgh area, this has given a lot of extra time for bike riding, taking walks, quilting, and hanging out outside. Our inspiration photo for the week is my Simple Sampler quilt from the C&V Sewing Club. This was our 2022-23 version and I love how it turned out! You can read more about it here.

Hello Reader, I'm coming to you from my backyard this morning, enjoying a little perfect weather and coffee. I hope you're reading it somewhere equally lovely! Let's get into today's inspiration: As quilters, we spend a lot of time cutting fabric, to sew it back together of course! So, I was super excited to have a special discount for Missouri Star Quilt Co. Everyday Cutting Tools. Grab 15% off the tools with this link. I've been using them all year and I love the rotary cutter and...
