Congratulations to LAURA! She is the lucky listener that won the Quilter’s Newsletter subscription giveaway. Woot!
Check out some of my coworkers and their sewing handiwork:
We made a total of 42 pillowcases to benefit ConKerr Cancer.
This is the backpack that I’m making. In the episode I incorrectly attributed it to Oliver + S. It is actually Liesl + S, which I think may be an offshoot of the same company. I talked about my inability to form proper expectations for quilting and sewing paraphernalia. This was no exception. In spite of my own foot-shooting I should point out the instructions are very well written, the pattern pieces all fit together, and overall it is a really cute bag.
What are you working on?
Have a great weekend. Thanks for listening!

Happy National Quilting Day! What did you do to celebrate? I am working on quilting this quilt:
And I also did some hand quilting at the shop while The Girl took her sewing class. At least I did until I broke my bazillionth needle. Then I just shopped. Who can blame me, though? I was in a shop. With quilting stuff! I couldn’t resist.
This episode is special because it is The Husband’s birth year (73). He is on this show, so be warned…much straying from the subject occurs when The Husband has a say.
If you live in Northeast Ohio and are looking to enter a quilt show…might I suggest this one? Please!
Enjoy the show! Thank you for listening and have a great week. Quilt on!

I finished the cloverleaf quilt! Here is another teaser view:
Have you heard of the show Sherlock? You can catch it on Netflix.
Also I get to hand over this quilt tomorrow:
It is always exciting (and a little sad) to send a quilt to it’s forever home.
I talked about a great class I finished watching on Craftsy, “Hand Quilting with Andi Parejda.” If you are new to hand-quilting this class is for you. Andi goes over everything…thread, needles, batting, fabric, hoops, marking tools, and lots of other stuff.
I also signed up for another class – “Sew Retro Perfect Bombshell Dress.” It was a reward for making a weight loss goal, and I wanted it to be inspiring yet not about quilting. We’ll see how it goes!
