Sew Thankful Sunday, November 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.}

It’s just beginning to feel like Fall here in Northern California, but it’s definitely looking like it inside my home. The month of November is also time to gear up for Christmas, so you’ll find lots of inspiration for the holidays in today’s Sew Thankful Sunday November post.

I absolutely love using wool batting in my quilts, and you can learn a little bit more about why at Suzy Quilts. She explains so well Why Wool Batting Makes the Warmest Quilts along with its other great qualities.
