Sew Thankful Sunday, July 2019

{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, July 2019 @ The Crafty Quilter includes summertime quilting ideas and Christmas in July projects!

It’s July – the half-way point of the year! I just want to freeze time and savor the long days, warm sunshine and abundant fruit at the farmer’s market. And to cool things off, there’s always Christmas in July. I’d like to do all the creative things I see out there on the internet. Enjoy this list of inspiration that I’m sew thankful for!

I’m so excited that Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs is hosting another, free quilt along starting this month. The Mosaic Mystery Quilt is a lap-size design and it’s a mystery (unless you ask for a sneak peak). The quilt along will run from July, 2019 until April, 2020 with prizes each month!

Summer is the perfect time for quick and small projects, especially if you’re traveling. This Cosmetic Zipper Pouch by Minki Kim for We All Sew is that kind of project. Plus it’s so cute and handy!
