Autumn Jubilee is underway and the projects will keep coming all month. Clear the decks, and get ready to have some fun.

National Sewing Month
September is National Sewing Month, and it seemed a good time to do a round up of the sewing projects I have on the blog. I've been so busy with the fair that it has taken until now to get to it. I can't show you what I am sewing right now, but you'll see …
Purse in a Day Project
I have a gauzy white prairie dress that I recently bought and usually I wear it with a black shrug and black enamel jewelry. I think the black makes it look a bit dressier and keeps it from looking like a wedding dress. Doing some shopping online, I came across a darling little shrug in …

Sew Day
Our guild has smaller groups that gather for fun during the month in addition to our overall meeting. This month, our gathering was for an all day sew-in to make pillowcases for Safelight. Many of us had made some at home before the meeting, so we began with collecting those. The black and white print …
A Pillowcase Project
Our small neighborhood group of our guild has decided to do pillowcases for Safelight's shelter. Yes, it is the same place as our Safelight Project Spa Bags. This could not have come at a better time, as I have a lot of fabric, and it will help with the Stashbuster challenge! I may not actually …
Looking Ahead to 2023
Well, I thought I was being cute on Tuesday with the video, but it didn't get the response I thought it might. It was supposed to be a clue to let you all know a new mystery quilt along is coming in January, but only a couple of readers figured that out. I couldn't do …
