We're Just Getting Started!

Well this makes things interesting!

I'm really excited to see my "Just Another String Star" coming together.

I was a bit intimidated at first - not that I haven't done Y seams before, but it had been a while and there was the additional stretch and bulk of diamonds with bias on ALL edges, and also all of the seams in the diamonds from the string piecing.

I've developed a system and things are now coming together smoothly!

Except for Hazel. Always Hazel!

Sew Fabulous!

This week got a little bit hijacked with our Gift-Away Trifecta and the drawing sign-up snafus...but here we are, all of the quilts and projects over the porch rail with the August Quiltvillians 2.0!

We worked around the weather, finding an afternoon full of sunshine so we could get these photos taken.

We had so many newbies, and that was exciting! I always love seeing things and feeling the excitement of first-timers as they discover the fun we have here.

Days Filled To The Brim!

This is what happens when a hand stitching date is accepted!

And it came right on time because some really weird storm system blew through and blipped the power (Thank you Generac for doing your job!) and the rain came in torrents.

We were cozy in the Hen Den!

Of course, what is a girl to do with a hand stitching invite, when she has nothing to hand stitch??

Quickly grab some papers and pieces and get started on a new project.

A Gift-Away Trifecta!

There is a lot going on today!  My head is spinning!

But it's all coming together in a VERY VERY good way.

It's Sunnyside pattern release and gift-away day and we've got lovely Notable Neutrals fabric rolls from Cotton to Quilts to include with THAT event.

And my publisher C&T is also hosting a gift away for my new book Scrap-Savvy over on their site! (More details below, keep reading!)

And we'll top that off with my friend Bruce Leonard's newest Hadley Carroll Quilt City book release also happening today! It's called Payment Declined and you are going to love it!
