Quilty Weekend Inspiration [Issue 8]
|
Hello Reader, It's time for our weekend inspiration -- better late than never! Our inspiration photo for the week is my Simple Sampler quilt from the C&V Sewing Club - again! This is the 2024 version, but it took me too long to finally get it quilted and bound. We met friends at a park yesterday and tossed the quilts in to grab some photos...except we almost forgot, so we snapped this one really quick and I couldn't wait to share it! My friend Lynn is teaching a virtual course on creating a Souvenir quilt. Lynn will walk you step by step through creating a unique quilt, but sign-ups close September 12th, so hurry! Read all the details here.​ Whenever we have a sew along, I give a grand prize of an Oliso M3 Pro Mini Iron to one winner. These little irons get so hot, while still being portable and cute. I love the way it heats up quickly and is easy to use anywhere. Get yours here.​ Are you a fan of The Great British Baking Show? Over the past year my kiddos and I have been catching up on all the episodes, with just a few left in the 2024 season, so that we can watch the 2025 season which kicked off yesterday. Are you tuning in? If you're local to Pittsburgh, we're excited to be sponsoring a local art show! If you're interested in having your art displayed or just checking it out, hit reply and I'll give you the details! Jennifer shared Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes, she says, "Clean novel with a beautiful story, full of descriptive imagery. I still can't stop thinking about it!" Do you have something you'd like to share? Please reply and send it over so I can feature you next week! --- If you're new here and have missed an issue of weekend inspiration, I've shared them all here so you can catch up! I'm a little delayed getting this out. You may remember that my kids and I were making quilts this summer. Well, we finally finished them yesterday, but I think we spent the whole week wrapping them up! I'll have the reveal on Thursday! Happy Sewing, |

Hello Reader, Quilty Weekend Inspiration is back! When I started this weekend newsletter I was enjoying weekend mornings on the back deck and it seemed the perfect time to send you a little note. Fast forward to school starting and things have been a bit wild, but I'm back! This week's inspiration photo doubles as a quilty find! I LOVE making bias tape - weird, I know. But if that's not your thing, I discovered the most beautiful premade bias tape from Bessie Pearl Binding Co, read more...
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.
