Quilty Weekend Inspiration [Issue 3]
|
Hello Reader,, I'm glad you're loving this weekly inspiration! I recently helped a friend choose a first sewing machine, in fact I've helped a lot of people choose a first sewing machine or a machine for their children, and my recommendation is always the same: Get an EverSewn. I have two and they sew beautifully. I'd choose a Celine or Charlotte. I taught a lesson to the C&V Sewing Club on making a simple cork pouch and several people were wondering where to buy the rainbow cork I used. It's from Cork & Cloth and you can find it here. At our local farmer's market I was suprised to see a knife and scissor sharpening booth. So, I took in my Gingher Scissors & Pinking Shears and they are amazing. I don't have a link to pass on (though if you're in Pittsburgh reply and I'll give you the name!), but I wanted to drop a note about it because I didn't know this was such an affordable option and my scissors are better than new! I am releasing a video for the Back to School Sew Along on Monday about designing custom patchwork. 🎉🙌 I use this graph paper for my custom patchwork because I love the size of the squares, so I wanted to share in case you want to grab some before the video comes out! --- My list it a little shorter this week as we've been hanging out extra at the pool, outside, and with some friends who are moving 😢. If I can pick your brain, what would you most want to receive as a handmade gift from a friend? I want to make something fun and practical as a going away gift! That's all for this week, see you next week with another weekend inspiration note! 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.

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!

I've been using them all year and I love the rotary cutter and...
