Early April Notes from A Quilting Life
|
Hello Reader, First, thank you so much for subscribing and reading my weekly newsletter. Each weekend I share links to the content on my website from the week before along with upcoming special events and things you won't want to miss. Here at home we have some beautiful weather--I'm hoping to get a walk today because I was in my sewing room all day yesterday--so fun, but I love the outdoors, too! Recently on the BlogLast week I shared the April block of the month--it's hard to believe, but we are one third of the way through! The April block looks difficult, but I promise you that there is an easy way to make it. Be sure to watch the construction video for those helps.
A Quilting Life RetreatWe still have spaces available for our November 1st through 4th retreat in Anaheim, California! (The sewing rooms are large with terrific individual workspaces and sewing machines are provided for all attendees). Diane and her team at Eternity Quilt Events create an unforgettable experience for each quilter and have evening events planned for each night, yummy lunches, treats, and even a vendor night one evening. Chelsi and I are so looking forward to the trunk shows and the pop-up shop where we will have some things available for our session attendees you won't find anywhere else. This is the only Sherri & Chelsi event for 2026, so don't miss out! We can't wait to see you there.
This Week on the BlogStay tuned tomorrow for a fun A Quilting Life Podcast where you'll learn about our Quilting Day Habits, pressing vs. ironing, and tips for better borders. Thursday I'll be sharing a fun new free pattern for something you'll be sure to want to sew for yourself and/or some of your sewing friends. It's super cute! Finally, I still have some newly added Poinsettia & Pear mini charms in the shop along with a few quilt backings and end of bolt pieces. My plan is to update on Friday afternoons weekly until I get my stash under control, lol! Thank you again for reading the weekly newsletter--your support means so much to me.

Hello Reader, Thanks so very much for taking the time to read this week's newsletter. I appreciate your readership and support. I'm sharing all of the notes from the week plus some extra spring-themed ideas today. It was a busy week in my sewing room. I finished up another secret sewing project and am ready to begin another one. We've had a bit of extra time with these fabrics, so I'm getting to really enjoy the process and haven't felt rushed as I've been sewing and binding. Hopefully, I can...
