Mid-July Notes from A Quilting Life


Hello Reader,

I hope you are doing well this weekend, and that you are finding some time to sew. I've just returned home from a mini vacation in a cooler climate. We were able to get out of the heat for a few days earlier this week and stay in a friend's cabin near a lovely mountain lake with all of our family there for at least part of the stay. I didn't get any sewing done, but I did get some much-needed rest and relaxation in a beautiful area. Now that I'm back home in the 110+ temperatures, I'm definitely wanting to just stay in and sew! Keep reading for notes from the week plus a few things coming soon!
