This weekend went by in a blur! That’s what happens when you’re having fun, I guess. It especially seems to fly by during the holidays too.
Paige and I spent some time this weekend finishing up some projects and working on new ones, which I’ll be showing off this week. Sunday, Paige’s sewing group came over for lunch and a full day of catching up on projects. When you get a group together dedicated to working, a lot gets done.
We also spent some time choosing groups of fabrics, different color combinations and patterns from a variety of lines. Starting with a focus fabric and working different fabrics in with it. I don’t know about you, but I think the fabric company’s amazing marketing has just about left me incapable of mixing and matching my own colors! Don’t get me wrong, I love the way the companies group all their lines together so it’s a no-brainer for us and sometimes I need that, but I also don’t want to lose my ability to do it on my own. Remember when you did do it on your own? No bundles, no pre-matched fat quarter stacks, it was all you?
Paige is a pro at that and is helping me regain my confidence in choosing. So we are going to start showing you some of the lines that we have picked and pulled and put together from the SewMod shop.
We are offering the “pick’s“ 15% off in Etsy and SewModDesigns.com. Check them out and let us know how we did!

you mean that these stacks of fabrics didn’t come in a fabric line together? If they didn’t they should have !!!! Both groups are beautiful and are so lovely together.
One of my favorite things to do in quilting is try to mix a ton of fabrics together in a quilt that didn’t originally come together. It makes it so much more interesting and then your quilt is completely unique to you!
