There's a Lot Going On!

Have you been following along with Pink Chalk Studio's Where I Sew? Kathy Mack has been highlighting sewing spaces all month. I'm the last stop on the tour this Saturday. It's so great to be a part of this group! You can add where you sew here. Take a cruise around and check out all these unique sewing spaces.  I love that everyone's is different and I've gotten some ideas from all these great spaces too!

The Modern Quilt guild has put out a call for submissions for the 100 Days of Modern Quilting. I'm so excited about it. Read all about it and send in your submission ASAP!  The MQG has also composed a new 'About Us' statement defining the mission of the guild and clarifying the definition of modern quilting. I'd love to know what you think.

My friend Alissa, of Handmade by Alissa and Block Party fame, will be hosting her yearly fundraiser for Action Kivu the week of August 8th.  Mark your calendars.  This is such a wonderful cause and dear to my heart.  Sewing, women, children, empowerment...all right up my alley. You can read more about it here.  I'm trying to put together another complete set of fat eighths of Denyse Schmidt's hard to get your hands on, Flea Market Fancy for the fundraising effort.  I have 40 prints out of 46.  Ashley, my friend at Film in the Fridge is sending 3 more, so only 3 left to find.  If you happen to have a fat eighth of the acid green or gold bubble dots or the brown posies that you'd be willing to share, drop me an email.  It would be great to have a whole set to give.  This will be the last time I could come close to putting together a whole set....many of these are my last large pieces.

Gee, that's probably enough for one post. Sorry to say not much sewing going on here. I'll be able to tell you more in a few days. I will say, big things are happening on the home front. Now, see if you can guess. Those of you who know...your lips are sealed!
