✨IN THE MAKING MONDAY✨

I made these pants at the beginning of summer and they quickly became my favorite to wear! They are so comfortable and the fit is 👌They were so easy to stitch up and no need for a serger as they have a French seam. These are the Pomona Pant by Anna Allen Sewing Patterns. I chose the Speckled cotton linen blend by Ruby Star Society. The fabric is the perfect weight and washes up nicely. We all need a pair of these 😉

✨WORK IN PROGRESS WEDNESDAY ✨

Jean made this quilt top for the shop using the Windfall fabric collection and Hocus Pocus pattern. I’m loving the fall feels it gives. Now just to get it longarmed and bound.

🧵Only a few spots remain for our Fall Quilting Retreat hosted October 16-18. Yay! We’re planning for a very good time!

If you’ve been planning to come but haven’t signed up yet, I suggest you don’t wait much longer. Anyone who has asked me to reserve a spot, but hasn’t registered yet, please do so as soon as possible as I need to know how many spots we actually have left. Thanks and very much looking forward to this year’s retreat.

✨WELCOME TO IN THE MAKING ON MONDAY✨

Thought we would start something new to share what we’re stitching in our free time.

Today I’m making the Casserole Quilt, which has been on my bucket list for almost a decade. I fell in love with Elizabeth’s redesign and didn’t waste a moment to get started on it. I’ve been at this project on and off since June. Not going to lie it’s unusual for me to work on something this long, but I’m really enjoying how it is all turning out. Hopefully I will have the quilt top finished tonight 🤞
