Mid-March Notes from A Quilting Life

Published 18 days ago • 2 min read

Hello Reader,

It's the middle of March, and it is starting to feel like spring here in the desert southwest. This is actually a wonderful time of year for us with cool evenings and lovely days. Hopefully some rain will come our way soon, too!

I just got home yesterday from a wonderful work trip where I got to do something a little different--present a lecture and class to 100 Home and Family Science Education teachers. It was really a fun opportunity for me, and it was good to see that our young adults can easily find mentors for quilting, sewing, and home arts and sciences!

Today I've got the usual links to my posts and videos from earlier in the week, a new pattern to share, and a look at what is coming soon.

Recently on the Blog + YouTube Channel

Below you'll find the links to my posts and videos from earlier this week (I know some of you wait to read the posts until they are linked here):

New Pattern in the Shop

I also have a new pattern in the shop, Sunshine. This design was originally in my now out-of-print book, Labor of Love. This pattern has been updated so there are two size options--a larger quilt that uses 30 Layer Cake squares and a smaller version that is fat eighth friendly. (Note: If you got a Raspberry Summer Project Package this pattern is included).

Coming Next Week

Next week I'll be sharing my March Works in Progress with a close up look at finishes from February and March. There are some fun projects I'm sharing in that post and video. I'll also be sharing additional information about Delightfully Yours and some wonderful things we have in store.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my weekly newsletter. I appreciate your support so much. I hope you have some wonderful time sewing and quilting today and over the week ahead.

Have a great day!​
Sherri

Hello Reader, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and have been able to get some sewing and quilting done! I finished up a major project earlier this week and am anxiously awaiting it back from the quilter so I can bind it. I'll be able to share it with you at the end of May--so not too long to wait! I'm also planning on working on some works in progress soon and starting another English Paper-Pieced Grandmother's Flower Garden project. I do love sewing those! Chelsi snapped this photo...

Hello Reader, I hope your weekend is going wonderfully. Spring has arrived, and I'm loving the gentle weather and temperatures--I try to appreciate the good weather while we have it for a couple of months before the summer heat sets in. I've got some fun new Delightfully Yours quilts to share today along with the usual re-cap of posts and videos from the week. Enjoy!
