Happy Wednesday! I am feeling much better this week and my sew-jo is back in full swing. I got it flowing again after cutting out my m6696 pattern that I have been meaning to sew for about two years. It felt so good to finally get going on this project and I am feeling the excitement for spring and summer sewing! I always get a little over ambitious at the start of the season so I am trying to focus on a few key items this time. Have you started to plan your spring/summer sewing?

Inspiration

This quilt from Heather Lou is so cool!  I couldn’t agree more that a variety of creative pursuits keeps the juices flowing. I always enjoy taking a break from garment sewing to cook, weave, macrame, or paint. This quilt has my mind racing about making one of my own!
