Mid-September Sewing Room Refresh


Hello Reader,

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Today I'm sharing my mid-September sewing room refresh along with some darling new Pumpkin Placemats I just finished. I've also got all of the recent posts and videos from earlier this week!

Pumpkin + Leaf Placemats

This finish has been on the list for well over a year. I'm super excited to finally have some cute fall placemats for our kitchen table. I've also got a PDF pattern for these in the shop, and there is a leaf block option you can trade out for the pumpkin--or make several and use pumpkins in some and leaves in the others. I'll be sharing these and some other fall projects I'm currently working on in tomorrow's video and blog post.

Sewing Room Refresh

While I still have a few things to shift around here and there, my September sewing room refresh is pretty much complete, and I'm ready to work on works in progress and really ramp up my holiday sewing. Earlier this week I shared even more photos of the new sewing room update on the blog.

This Week on the Blog + YouTube Channel

Below you'll find links to the posts and videos I shared earlier this week on the blog and YouTube channel:

Hello! First, thanks so much for reading each week! I hope your weekend is going well and that you've been able to get some sewing and quilting done. I've been getting a lot done in the sewing room because it has been 110+ for the past several days :( Hoping for some kind of cool-down soon! Today I'm sharing the weekly newsletter with some recent finishes, the posts for the week, and a few new things in the shop.

Hello! I hope your first week of June is going well. I've just returned home from a week-long retreat in Dallas, Texas at the Modavation event for shop owners. It was truly inspiring to be around all of my Moda friends, and shop owners I've known for years or just for a week! I will definitely be sharing all about the event in a post next week. For now, keep reading for the June notes plus one of my favorite finds from the retreat. Booth Photo from H + H Americas Trade show in early May 2026...

Hello Reader, It's been a beautiful last week of May here--we've had temperatures in the 80's which is almost a little miraculous for the end of May (we are used to sometimes being in the 110's by now). So, I'm enjoying every cool morning and evening until the heat arrives soon. In the studio I've been working on new things for fall and doing some cleaning and organizing. I'm ready to start sewing some fun small project very soon! Poinsettia & Pear Precuts Have Arrived Poinsettia & Pear...
