Sew Thankful Sunday, September 2016

{I love the idea of “paying it forward”. I think the world would be a better place if we could spread some joy and acknowledgement of good deeds done by others. I try to do that once a month for my Sew Thankful Sunday posts. I highlight some great content that I’ve found on other people’s blogs that I hope will inspire you and reward the originator by bringing traffic to their site. If your blog has been mentioned without your consent, please let me know and I will take you off the current list of featured bloggers.}

September is one of my favorite months.  The seasons are changing and it’s a good time to get organized and start a new project.  You’ll find some great inspiration in this month’s list of  sew thankful ideas.

  1. I love your Sew Thankful Sunday posts, and there are several things this month that I am definitely interested in making! Thanks for sharing these! I haven’t been able to read my blogs this month due to health problems combined with construction on my house and everything involved with that! I’ve been wanting to find the exact things you posted, and no matter what, your blog is the one I try to make time to read every week and catch up on. Jadahlgr at Yahoo dot Com
