Last week of Teaching for the Year!!!

 Oh my goodness, the last month has been filled with so much quilting goodness for me and Barbara!!!  We went from teaching Stacked Squares on the Alaska Quilting Cruise, to teaching 7 classes from my newly released and re-released patterns at Garden of Quilts, and then came home to teach at the 9 Patch Quilt Retreat locally ;)   We then  had a week to get caught up.  And then last weekend we were in Richfield for Quilter's Heritage Festival and taught 3 more classes!!!

Now this week is the last week of teaching for 2023 but it is full to the brim!!!   And yes , , , there is still a little room in these classes if you want to come quilt with me!!!  First up is

And if you didn't get a chance to quilt with me in 2023 . . . 2024 is going to be just as fun as 2023.  I am already booked for Moab, UT, Grand Junction CO, New Braunfles, TX, Tucson, AZ, and of course, all over Utah all year.  It's going to be a year of so much fun!!!

September Sew Sampler Box!!

 September was crazy busy but oh so much fun sewing fun!!  I got to teach at 3 different quilting venues and had so much fun meeting so many quilting friends.  But it also meant, the month whizzed by and my September Sew Sampler Box was on my doorstep in no time!!     The theme for this month is Rustic Autumn and I am so loving all of it's quilty goodness!!! 

I was so excited to find this gorgeous Dawn on the Prairie JR Jelly Roll!! I have sewn with everyone one of Fancy That Design House lines except this one, and now I can keep my streak going ;)   An d wouldn't that Grove pattern just look so cute for another cabin quilt!!   So perfect :)  

And the notions for this month are great!!!! The Bits and Bobs sewing tray is so perfect for traveling.  I am always telling students when I am teaching that the hard part about sewing at retreats is you don't have your designated spot for seam ripper and thread clippers.  Well now, I have a travel spot!!  So perfect ;)    And I am excited to try out the Easy Press Pen, who doesn't love crisp, flat seams :)   And of course, you know I am so excited about the Olfa Endurance Blade.   It actually reminded me to change the blade in my rotary cutter and oh, I just love a new blade!!   Practical is always perfect for me :) So much quilty goodness!!

And speaking of my favorite Sampler box . . . I also had a second box waiting on my doorstep!!!   The Spooky Box for 2023 is now available :)   I can't share what is inside yet, but it is so great ;)  I have already cut out the project and can't wait to start sewing it up!!   Be sure to get your Spooky Box before they Disappear for the season ;)  

And there are currently some openings for  Sew Sampler boxes so you can jump right in.  Just sayin :)  

And that is September Sew Sampler Box and a sneak peek of the Spooky Box.  I am so looking forward to October's Box and getting to share my Spooky Box at the end of the month ;)  

Happy Quilting!!!
