Happy July Quilter Friends !
Flipping the calendar to a new month makes me excited for so many
reasons. I actually love sewing in the summer, especially when it is
too hot outside and the air is on inside. I have many projects on my
list to accomplish before the end of August. My daughter will be going
off to college and needs a new goofy quilt to remember dear ole’ Dad in
the dorm room. No, it is not a T-shirt quilt. My 18 year old has
requested a quilt with monkeys on it. If you wonder why the monkey
theme, just ask me the next time you come into the store.
I also have 4 baby quilts to make for friends before the end of August.
Thank goodness they are smaller in size. I truly love sewing flannel in
the summer, because it is so soft and cuddly. And giving a baby or
expectant mother a quilt is very meaningful for me.
Then there is all the new arrivals from market that are tempting me. I
can’t wait to make another professional tote with all the colorful
zippers we now have. I think my next tote will have to be lime green.
You must come and see the wide variety of vibrant zippers we have to
choose from. And since I am sewing some flashy projects right now, it
is a good time for me to stock up on thread, since Kathy has notions at
20% off this month.
July also makes me look forward to the Delaware County Fair and RAGBRAI
coming to Manchester. Oh my goodness, if I just didn’t have to sleep
some each night, I could sew SO MUCH more!!
