The beauty of sewing is twofold. First the creation: When the adventure of thread, fabric, and ideas are stitched together. The creative process can be astonishing. The second is sharing. Sharing the joy of a finished project. Sharing the story of each stitch made with intention and sometimes rerouted as an unexpected creative journey. Start thinking about your finished or almost finished sewing projects. Get those projects done in time for sharing during the September SCHMETZ Shout Out. Watch the August newsletter for the SCHMETZ Shout Out.

Last week I was in Chicago vending at the creative industry h+h Americas show. This week I'm in Dallas exhibiting at Bernina University surrounded by inspiration and creative business owners, educators, and makers. In fact, the theme of Bernina University is "Share the Joy!" Meet a few enthusiastic friends from both shows that love to share the joy of sewing with SCHMETZ. Visit my personal blog at www.SewMoreStitches.com.
