It's Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet

Jeepers did the first of the month really come around again so quickly?!  Another month, another header.  Does that mean I need to make more new buttons?  Well maybe not this month.  So what have we all achieved during April?  I managed to finish three quilts, and this is the one I love the most.  Designed on Touchdraw for iPad, cut using my Sizzix drunkards path dies, pieced using Kona solids, quilted using Aurifil 40wt and shipping soon to my big sister in France.  The fabulous response I received for this quilt has nudged me to decide (i) to produce and sell my first quilt pattern (coming soon) and; (ii) to host a quiltalong to make this quilt (also coming soon).

If you do link up, how about visiting at least four of the other blogs who link up - two above you and two below you - and stopping to leave a comment as well as visiting back anyone who visits you.

  2. Go for it girl ;o)
    I know you have a very busy month ahead of you and a huge conclusion to that busy month in early June - so to quote Jack - 'Keep Calm and Quilt On'
    Power to you girl and your next busy, full filled 40 days, I know you can do it. Do it with fun, laughs and a big smile.
