Sew Thankful Sunday, June 2020

{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.}

June is usually a time of graduations and celebrations.  It’s a very different world right now in 2020, and I hope we can still be thankful for the little things. The quilting community has always been generous and it’s provided a space for me to focus on something creative and positive.  For that I am always thankful!  Enjoy today’s list of creative ideas. I hope it makes your day and month a little brighter.

1. Amanda at The Patchsmith is generously offering her Rainbow Mug Rug pattern for free. She says that where she lives, in England, the sign of hope and thankfulness is a rainbow. I think so too, and this mug rug definitely makes me feel both!

5. Stay on the look out for the Morewood Mystery Quilt Along that will start in July at Meadow Mist Designs.

It’s always a treat to see the final design and the beautiful quilts that everyone has made.

6. “In the spirit of providing something positive in the middle of uncertainty,” Staci at Crafty Staci is offering her Months of Mugs Block of the Month for free. Her May Flower Mug is just adorable!

7. I love a good sewing room tour, and I have two of them to tell you about. First is Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. She has a magnificent studio that is dream-worthy.

8. The second sewing room tour comes from Sherri at A Quilting Life. Sherri recently put the finishing touches on her new sewing space and it’s so beautiful, organized and inspirational!
