Have you ever tried out any of the Electric Quilt software? I finally took the plunge and bought version 8 yesterday, and I’m so excited to try it out! I’ve been designing quilts the hard way all this time, and I’m looking forward to a little digital assistance. For my full disclosure policy and point of view, click here.

September Book - Months of Mugs Block of the Month Block of the Month day is here! However, the current situation doesn’t change the fact that students will be breaking into new books, physical or virtual, and an apple a day has never been better advice!Here Each month will have a coloring page included so you can plan your design, or just do some stress-relieving coloring. I STRONGLY recommend reading through it before beginning (actually, that’s true for any pattern or tutorial).

You know how much I like big round numbers, so it won’t come as an surprise that today makes me so happy. So, for nearly ten years, I’ve been gathering up my favorite things every week and sharing them with you. In honor of the big day, I thought I’d do a little Friday flashback today.

I only have four pillows, but I’m doing both sides, so the thought of all that hand sewing was a little daunting.
