News From The Sewing Room

I apologize in advance. This may be the most boring post ever.

You can tell that I lead a pretty unexciting life when I am insanely excited about a new cutting mat. It's so shiny and smooth and it isn't chewing up my rotary blades for breakfast. It also isn't bright purple! YAY!!


I finished a quilt top for a customer's sweet little girl! I will be sandwiching and quilting tomorrow! I have found a ton of new vintage sheets and they are so fun to mix and match. She also ordered a matching bunting banner. CUTE!!


Happy mail. A Sweet Shoppe charm pack and a half yard of the most adorable aqua gingham! I was thinking a table runner when I ordered it, but now I am not so sure. This is yelling "make me into something for a baby!!!"   Hmmmmm.

I hope that you are still awake after reading this.


Oh, and Angela in Oklahoma posted that she saw a copy of Love Patchwork at Barnes and Noble just in case any of you here in the U.S.A. are looking for a copy!! Thanks Angela :)

    Thanks for letting us know about the magazine. I was hoping someone would carry it here in the states.

      Hi Trish! Thanks!! The rotary cutter is by Fiskars and I bought it a few years ago at Joanns. I think it was a special edition for Breast Cancer Awareness.

    Course we're awake. The quilt top is lovely and the charm pack is really cute. I'm stunned myself by my "self-healing" cutting mat - how does that work?
