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, I'm sharing something a little different this weekend. Instead of some of my favorite sewing and quilting supplies, I want to share a few of my favorite quilty people, who have some things you don't want to miss! Here's a favorite photo from dinner at QuiltCon, where people really are the best part of attending! My friend Jo’s Beginner Quilt Class has just opened for enrollment! In the class students are guided step by step through making their first quilt. By the end of the...
of Hello Reader, QuiltCon was a couple weeks ago now. When people ask what QuiltCon is, I have to mention the shopping because one part is a highly curated gathering of shops! I had to keep my shopping small enough to fit in my carry-on bag, but I still managed to find some great things. Here are the links to all my QuiltCon buys: Our first stop on the first day was the Scanfil Thread. At QuiltCon in Phoenix, a few of us tried Scanfil thread and loved it so much that we made sure to head over...
Hello Reader, It's been a bit of a break since my last Quilty Weekend Inspiration, but I'm excited to be back! I've spent the last two weeks diving in to all the zipper pouches because of the Zipper Pouch Challenge, so I'm sharing all my favorites for making pretty pouches! I also wanted to remind you all, it's time to binge-watch the videos; they expire on Tuesday, February 10th! Make sure to download and save any PDF Patterns you want to keep to your computer. We loved sewing along with...
