Headbands

Sweet Sewists let me begin by saying how happy and honored I am to be coming here and sharing things with you all. I know that I can ramble, and that there is a lot of growth to be had in my sewing and writing and I'm so blessed to be on that journey with all of you. Thank you.

The headache of Monday has worn off and spring is here, finally! This left me with a desire to create something summery and fun, but it had to be a fast project. I've got no time to commit to a big project right now (The Blooms of Spring Craft Show is this Saturday, however, and once that's over it's on to making new summer clothes).  Amy Butler's Ribbon Creative Suite was just the thing. This pattern includes 7 wonderful things to make all of them fast, easy and great to give as gifts (You can get a lot out of this pattern).  I made two headbands in less then an hour! I was also going to make a bookmark but forgot to grab the peltex from the shop. That just gives me something fast to make Monday.  Click HERE to view the pattern

I followed her directions and it worked great. I might add half an inch to the elastic next time (I come from a long line of big heads) as it is it fits fine, just a scosh tight after prolonged wearing.

Because we're so happy that spring has finally sprung we're giving away both headbands. Leave a comment here telling us your favorite quick sewing project, or your favorite thing to wear in warmer weather. Really just leave a comment along with your name to be entered to win.

Happy Sewing,
Love
Jessie and Sue.

Quilt Show

Come see us at marshall's Stitches in Time Quilt Show. This weekend March 22-23 10-4 at the marshall middle school. There are going to be so many great things at this show, all new exhibits, vendors, raffles and a presentation by Marshall's own Edyta Sitar, designer of Moda's Laundry Basket line!! The cost for admission is $7. We're going to be there with LOTS of new precuts including Jelly Bean from Laundry Basket. We're also bringing along our Christmas fabric and selling it for 30% off.

Lots of precuts including Laundry Basket coming to the quilt show!

I think the artistry of quilt making is so wonderful and the community it builds is really exciting. I hope you can come.


I'm also excited to announce that we're now carrying Riley Blake fabrics online and in our shop. We've just got a few to start but lots more is on the way.
