I've already got a guild retreat planned for that weekend (kind of ironic, no?) but are any of you considering attending The Sewing Party? Attendees will have access to more than 30 online classes available on the day of the event and for an additional 90 days, which is a nice feature. Classes include home décor, fashion sewing, quilting, upcycling, crafting, costume design, techniques for turning your craft into an business and more. I kinda love that it's for all sorts of creative types, and since most of us do more than one type of crafting, even better. Here's a link to the classes and the educators if you want to know more.
If you're on Instagram, no doubt you've seen all the posts touting the new KONA cotton solids. How big is the color card going to be now?? Do you have a favorite? Here's a few that have caught my eye so far.
So how are you with circles? Aren't they just more popular than ever? I've done my share, but still am not 100% comfortable with them, so I read the latest installment of Decipher Your Quilt with great interest. Do you follow the series by she can quilt and Elven Garden Quilts? Check it out, as it's full of helpful and useful quilty math info.
And lastly for today, I just have to share a lovely project I came across yesterday. It's by Carly of Citric Sugar, and I must say, I'm just smitten with these placemats! The shot cottons and chambray, the method, the palette with that pop of orange, the quilting, the MATCHED BINDING! Yeah, I pretty much love it all.

Do go read Carly's blog post about them and see more of what I'm talking about. Seriously, I'm not sure I could push away from the table if I had placemats like these, ha.That's it! Hope you have a terrific day . . .
"Gumdrop" is such a great name, isn't it? I don't think I could bear to use those placemats. Besides my husband is a very messy eater! ;-))

ReplyDeleteThe Sewing Party sounds like a lot of fun! Love Carly's placemats!
ReplyDeleteLots of information here today! Thanks for the links...and those placemats are totally amazing! And look at that quilting....oh my...
ReplyDeleteFunny, I've got a retreat that weekend too! I actually got a spammy sounding email from them in the guild email today, good to know it's a legitimate thing (but they could work on their communication skills if they want participants!)
ReplyDeleteNice selection of randoms! I won't be at the online retreat as non-Americans aren't allowed to play, but I'm hoping to be elsewhere that weekend anyway :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shout out. I sure love those place mats!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind! Thanks. :-)
