'Tis the season to finish sewing projects for loved ones. Two weeks ago, I was in Iowa for my annual S.E.W. Retreat that started in 2018. The pandemic interrupted our annual plans, so this was our second retreat. Deanna Springer, Mary Mulari, Rita Farro, and I brought our sewing machines, sergers, irons, and lots of projects. We stayed and stitched in a lovely, refurbished farmhouse near the Quad Cities in Iowa. Did we finish all our projects? We each left with completed projects and inspiration to start more.
Before the S.E.W. Retreat, I was in Houston for International Quilt Market and Festival. Seeing friends was a giant colorful hug fest as friends caught up with each other and our respective happenings. Teaching my SCHMETZ class at Quilt Festival was very rewarding. When you receive this email, I’ll be in Quitman TX for The Stitchin’ Heaven SEW Expo to talk SCHMETZ. Lots happening in my SCHMETZ life. Meet my awesome sewing friends from these trips on my personal blog at www.SewMoreStitches.com/blog.
Wishing you a blessed holiday season filled with lots of stitches made with love.
Sew SCHMETZ & Grabbit® Too!
