Sew Thankful Sunday, 02.09.2014

{I am frequently visiting other blogs and I’m always amazed at the talent and passion that I see along the way.  Since I love sharing these new “finds” with you, I created Sew Thankful Sunday.  My way of giving back to the quilting community and sharing great content with you at the same time!}

Sew Thankful ButtonHey everybody!  I’m seeing so many heart projects out there that I’m sew thankful for!  Plus, there’s lots of quilty goodness, so let me share with you what I’ve found:

5.  How many of you have a “layer cake” (or two) sitting on your shelf that you don’t know what to do with?  Look no further; there is a Layer Cake Sampler Quilt Along starting at Material Girl Quilts and Amanda just posted the details!  It starts February 21st so you have plenty of time to gather your supplies.

6.  Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts has a Contact Print Pillow Tutorial that is scrappy, easy and quick!  I love those three words!

7.  I love bags and this Patchwork Drawstring Bag by Jeni at In Color Order would make a perfect gift.  Of course, you should make one for yourself, too!
