  1. Julie, I’m beginning to enjoy sitting down on a Monday morning and reading your emails and looking at the great projects going on! Thanks for sharing all these fabulous ideas!

  2. Julie,

    You amaze me with your weekly finds. We rarely have the same finds. There sure is a plethora of ideas and patterns available to us. I love the Movement in Squares. Wouldn’t that make a great quilt for anyone and especially for males of any age? One of my best friend’s identical twin daughter’s is having a new baby boy who is going to have some challenges – in February. We don’t know if there is going to be a doctor here in town to do his surgery then or not. The mom is just six weeks younger than my daughter. My daughter had a D&C on July 30 to terminate an unsustainable pregnancy. The babies would have been due about the same time. The three girls went to school together and we all lived about three blocks apart. So, a variation of this just might be in the works for the new guy. And, my daughter’s two boys might get versions of it, too. Of course, while I’m doing it, I might do a version for my son’s son and new daughter. Fat quarters might work well for this quilt. Can you tell I really like it. My daughter is a high school math teacher and I was a math major, so … Thanks for all the great ideas.

  3. Another great Sew Thankful Sunday! I’m going to get a cup of tea, settle into my armchair, ignore the snow and enjoy your links!

  4. Hi Julie, what a lot to investigate! I love the ‘movement in squares’ Quilt and the ‘high strung quilt’ from Tis the Season. Am going to spend my evening looking at all your great links! Thanks and have a great Sunday!

  5. Thank you so much for sharing with your readers about my Seasonal Sewing Series with all the daily projects and prizes. It’s been so much fun so far and still lots of great projects to come. It’s kind of you to help support other sites, thank you.
