A lesson in patience and OCD Management today...

BONUS OYW - Mini Quilt Mug Mat

Our schedule got a little off kilter with the TV appearance, so here's a BONUS One Yard Wednesday - something else to do with those little tiny scraps plus two new techniques...

March Quilt-Along

Just got a WONDERFUL new catalog from Connecting Threads this weekend.  In March, to celebrate National Quilting Month, they are hosting a quilt-along, complete with tutorials.  The patterns will be free, the tutorials will be free, and signing up is free.  Go to their website and sign up for their free emails, and you will be able to get the info, right in your inbox.

I'm going to participate and share my progress here.

Hope you'll quilt along with me!

Tea for Tuesday - Snowflake Mug Mat

Another mug mat - this one is sewn.

One Yard Wednesday - A Ray of Sunshine

A cute little bag in bright sunny yellow - to cheer the drear, and haul the keys.  And the cell phone.  And the wallet. Or maybe your lunch?  For only a yard of fabric.

Opportunity to Save $$ on Craft and Sewing Supplies

If you are a teacher or homeschooler, this weekend is a great chance to save some extra $$$ on sewing and crafting supplies.  JoAnn Fabrics is having their Teacher Appreciation Days on Saturday and Sunday.  Sign up for your card, and save 20% off your entire purchase.
