$5 for July + Summer Things from A Quilting Life
|
Hello Reader, I hope you're having a great weekend! Summer is officially here, we are halfway through the year, and it's time for summer sewing! I've got this month's $5 pattern, some shop updates and the recent blog posts and videos to share. Plus, I have some ideas if you are looking to do a mid-year sewing goals check in! Keep reading for all of the details-- $5 for July: Good VibesMy Good Vibes pattern is this month's $5 special in paper and PDF. My version above is shown in Laguna Sunrise, but it would be absolutely stunning in our Raspberry Summer fabric or a scrappy mix (I've always wanted to make a scrappy version myself)!
New Shop Category: Quilt BackingsI've been cleaning and organizing my sewing space to make room for sample yardage that just arrived from our next collection (top secret until the end of September). So, I've added some 5-yard cuts of Sherri & Chelsi and other Moda designer fabrics in my stash perfect for Quilt Backings to the shop. (Bonus: They also have free shipping). There are also some new precuts in the shop as well as a few new scrappy bundles!

One More Week Until Quilting Life Academy BeginsDoors are open now to register for my next session of my Quilting Life Academy course for beginner and intermediate level quilters.

Hello Reader, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend (it's a long one if you are here in the United States).
