Hello Reader, I hope your weekend is going well! Today I'm sharing my end of June notes with links to all of our posts and videos from earlier in the week. I also want to let you know that there are some fun bundles in the shop right now.

Shop Update = New Fabric Bundles With new sample yardage needing storage...

Hello Reader, I returned home earlier this week after getting to spend a few days in Dallas at the Modavation retreat for shop owners. I truly enjoyed meeting and sharing with shop owners from all over the country and the world! I also came home with a true appreciation for everything Moda does to help ensure their shop owners have everything they need to do their best for their customers. I was also able to spend a little time at the Moda warehouse which is also inspiring. Being able to meet...

Hello Reader I hope your June is off to a wonderful start! Here in the desert we have been enjoying a cooler than normal end of spring and were even blessed with some rain last week! (We're currently in a drought and are so appreciative of any water we can get). It's supposed to get hotter soon, so I'll definitely be indoors in my sewing room :) Today I'm sharing details from earlier in the week on the blog and YouTube channel. Plus, I have a much-requested pattern now available in paper...

Hello Reader, Happy June! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and that you are able to get some sewing in this weekend. It's been a whirlwind of a couple of weeks for me as I've just returned home from two back-to-back quilt retreats where I taught with my daughter Chelsi and fellow Moda designer Camille Roskelley. We had such good times with 78 participants in each retreat and a fabulous group of ladies who organized and tended to all of the details. It was wonderful to see some...

Hello Reader, I hope your week has been a good one! I've been busy getting ready for our end of May retreats along with everything else that seems to be going on in what everyone is calling "Maycember." I'm picking out quilts for my upcoming trunk shows today--and it's so hard to choose which ones to take! I definitely would love to take more than will fit in my car. We finished up a photo shoot for a project and got our photos back this week. It's always fun to see professional photos of our...

Hello Reader, Happy May! I hope you're having lovely spring (or fall if you're in the southern hemisphere) weather. This is really such a beautiful time of the year where I live in the desert southwest. And it's been quite a busy week in my sewing room over the last few days as I'm trying to get kits ready for two upcoming retreats I'm teaching at during the latter part of this month. I've been cutting fabrics day and night and doing a bit of cleaning and organizing in my sewing room as well....
