Guest Curator Contest Winner

.... and the winner is ... 

Nancy from Owen's Olivia with the Coastal Waters!

Congrats, Nancy!  :-)  Nancy will receive her bundle and it will be featured as one of our December Curated Collections.  On Monday we'll reveal all the December Curated Collection bundles in the shop.

Swooning over Solids

Happy Thursday, y'all!

We just added 9 new Bella Solids to the shop shelves - most of which coordinate with either Cuzco or Simply Color.

These coordinates to Cuzco are so gorgeous.  Kate Spain really knows how to pick some colors, doesn't she?!

What color solids do you use most?  Do you stash solids in bundles or as you need them?  Do you like colorway bundles or rainbow bundles?  For those of you who shop online, how can we make it easier for you to color match solids?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I have a few more collections of bolts and some fun new notions to add as well, but I will share more about those soon.  :-)

I also hope to get some real sewing done in the next few days ... I have a few bee deadlines and let's not forget that Christmas is just around the corner!
(For those of you who are new around here wondering where all the sewing projects are, you should know I am a full-time teacher as well as a shop owner.  And this semester is kicking my you-know-what with a new curriculum to plan for.  :-/  Only a few more weeks in the semester and I should get a lot more of my evenings back - and I can hardly wait!) 

Don't forget to vote for the Guest Curator Contest bundle.  I am so excited about the bundles our regular curators have picked for December too. ;-)

Happy Sewing! :-)

Bookmark Worthy

Hi friends!

Moda recently reorganized their website and I wanted to share the link to a great measurements and cutting tips page.

Bedding measurements, layer cake cutting tips, charm pack cutting tips, and more!  All in one place. Check it out here.

And there are also loads of free patterns too.  Definitely bookmark worthy, if you ask me!

Happy Sewing!  :-)

Top 10 Coming Soon!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We enjoyed our weekend although our ride home from Florida today was a bit longer after our team lost yesterday.  If you're married to football fan, you probably know how that goes!  LOL

No sewing this weekend, due to our travels ... well, except for getting started on one of these.  :-)

Anyway, just wanted to share that I will be back tomorrow with the top 10 from the Guest Curator Contest so you can vote which one should be included for our December collections.

See you then!  :-)
