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 especially the smaller scissors! ✂️ Plus they're pretty cute too.

I switched to a wool mat about 8 years ago and have never looked back to a regular ironing board. Mine got burned in a couple iron left on it accidents 🫣 so I was excited when Novodon sent me a new one. I got the 5 foot long version, but my table is only 3 1/2 feet...so I cut it and had a spare, amazing! You can get one here, they do have a smaller version and the long one as well.​

A few of my lovely pattern designer friends have released the Sweater Weather Sampler 2025 and I had to share it with you! This pretty quilt sampler is not just a pattern, but a whole quilting community experience. You can read more about it and sign up here.​

My friend Keri just debuted her first fabric for Moda, Honeyed Horizon, and I got my early release of it yesterday. I can't wait to show you what I'm making. You can preview the collection here.​

I never paint my nails...but I recently purchased this Active Glow nail polish from Manicurist and I love it. It's the perfect mild nail polish to elevate my nails but also not clash with my fabrics while I'm filming my next tutorial. 😉

My kids have been loving playing Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza the last few weeks, if you're looking for a quick, fun game that will get everyone laughing, this is it. Plus, in spite of the neon colored box 🙃 the cards are super adorable.

One chore I'm not loving this summer is cleaning our grill. 😩 Fortunately, my sweet husband usually does this chore, and I got him these Silicone Scraper Tools which make it much easier and less messy.

Heidemarie sent in her favorite thimble and I had to share. I haven't tried this one yet, but I have a quilt to finish binding so I'm thinking of trying one out too! You can find it here.​

If you have a favorite item - sewing/quilting or not - send it over and I'd love to check it out and share! I always find the best stuff from you all! 💗

If you're new here and have missed an issue of weekend inspiartion, I've shared them all here so you can catch up!

I hope you have a great weekend! I'm off to make family breakfast and take a little walk before it gets swelteringly hot.

Happy Sewing,
