$5 for July + New Patterns


Hi Reader,

Thanks so much for checking in to read the weekly newsletter. I appreciate your time and always try to make these newsletters useful, helpful, and inspiring! We've had a wonderful celebration weekend with family in town and were able to do some swimming, lots of eating, and even some game playing with a favorite game from when my kids were teenagers. With the start of July, we are also feeling the arrival of summer with 105+ temperatures expected this week. So I'll be in the sewing room most days for sure!

$5 for July

This month's $5 pattern is Blooming. I first shared my Blooming pattern with our Delightfully Yours collection, and it would also be beautiful in any mix of colors and is perfect for honeybun strips or scraps. There are two different sizes included as well.

New Patterns

I also have a couple of new patterns in the shop. One is a new version of my Scrappy Patchwork Bag--now with two sizes! My larger size version is shown with an applique'd embellishment--but it's beautiful with just the patchwork--or make it with solid pieces of fabrics too. This pattern is only available in PDF now, but I'll have it in paper soon.

I also have my project package pattern, Cheerful, in the shop in paper and PDF. This is the pattern that was included in the project packages, and I made the runner version in our Midsummer collection. There is also a throw size included in the pattern.

Hello Reader, There is just one more week of August, and then I'm going to start decorating for fall--I can't wait. It's been 110+ most days here this week, so I'm hoping the fall decor will help me get through our end-of-summer heat. And since Birch & Willow is now shipping to shops, it's a great time to share projects old and new with this perfect-for-sewing-now group!

Hello Reader, First, thank you so much for taking the time to read the weekly newsletter. I truly appreciate your support and always try to share the most important things for readers in these Sunday notes. I returned home last week after 12 days touring in England with an incredible group of quilters (and some fantastic non-quilters too)! It was an experience that has surely changed me and will affect my art and designs in the future. Lots of things are happening now that you won't want to...
