Sew Thankful Sunday, November 2017

{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.}

Sew Thankful Sunday, May 2017 at The Crafty QuilterThings are really ramping up for the holidays in November.  It seems like  I’m already late with making gifts and decorations if I haven’t started them by now.  This month there are plenty of ideas to get you going and to stay organized!

9.  The year 2018 is right around the corner, and Cindy at Quilt Doodle Designs is already prepared with her next BOM, Snow Much Fun.  It’s free for the month that the block is out, then there’s a small fee if you have to play catch up to get the block.

10.  This Double Plus block by Cath at Wombat Quilts is so cute and perfect to get in some scrap therapy during these busy months.  This 12 1/2″ block was designed for her Do Good Stitches Bee, and I’m sure it’s going to turn into a beautiful quilt!
