Summer Notes and More from A Quilting Life


Hello Reader,

I hope your weekend has been good already! And thank you for subscribing and reading my weekly newsletter. I've got all of the notes from the week plus some coming soon things to catch you up on.

This Week at A Quilting Life

We got a lot done this week in the A Quilting Life sewing and podcast studio. We filmed introductions and closings for two new podcasts (both of them feature guest interviews). We also filmed three videos (Chelsi filmed two and I filmed one). Along with that we had an outdoor photo shoot for new headshots (it was literally 109 out at 7:30 p.m. the other day when we did the outdoor photos). I also had an indoor photo shoot yesterday with our fall collection release! So yes, it was a busy week for us and for the studio!

Be sure to check out any of the posts you might have missed this week--I shared quite a few, including the July Block of the Month and the first post and video for our Poinsettia Stars Sew Along:

Coming Soon

Stay tuned tomorrow for a new podcast episode with an incredible guest. I think you'll love the conversation. Later in the week I'll have my next Tree Farm Mystery Block, and on Friday it's my turn to share a block for the Sewcialites 3 Sew Along. Chelsi will also be sharing new quilts on our YouTube channel later in the week.

And Finally...Thoughts on My Sewing Room Journey

I recently started thinking about my sewing room journey after reading an artist's perception of the changes in her studio over the years. It made me think about the changes in my sewing room(s) in a way I hadn't really thought about before. I thought even more about this yesterday while cleaning up for the indoor photo shoot. I put the sewing room article in my substack--find it and other articles below.

Lots of fun planned for this week hopefully including some sewing with new fabrics. I'm also trying to get ahead on a few things for fall since the summer is rapidly flying by!

I hope you get to spend some wonderful time sewing, quilting, and creating this week.

Hi Reader, Thanks so much for checking in to read the weekly newsletter. I appreciate your time and always try to make these newsletters useful, helpful, and inspiring!

Hello Reader, First, if you've been reading the newsletter for a while you know that it's pretty rare for me to participate in a livestream event. When we do, it's because of a person or product that we wholly stand behind. Well, tooday is the day! We are having a Livestream today at 9:00 a.m. PST (noon EST) on the A Quilting Life YouTube channel and will be joined by Lindsey from Cutterpillar. I love and use several of the Cuterpillar products for quilters and can't wait for you to see some...
