Sunshine and Rainbows

Happy Monday friends! It is a hot and humid evening and I just came inside from letting our dogs run in our backyard  for a bit. I am not feeling my best today, so I opted for a desk day. I have been working on my Etsy Shop and my website. I really would like to have all my Blue Ribbon Designs  patterns/charts available in both printed paper format and digital download PDF format, so I have spent the majority of my day converting patterns and  printing the newest designs for my shop - I am really hoping that over the next couple months, I will have them all available in both formats - it's slow going, but I am getting there. I also took some time to catch up on correspondence, do some accounting, and work on a new design layout. I thought I would pop in and do a quick blog update, before I attempt to do a little sewing. I know, I know, THREE blog posts in one week!...I'm shocked myself...but don't get too used to it, my work piles are overwhelming at the moment, so it may be a bit before I am back again...

Today's post is really a photo show of some of my most recent projects (the ones I can share)…some needlework finishing (not my stitching - just my finishing and some of my designs), some customer sewing and quilting, and a homemade gift or two...basically a selection of photos that show some of the "happy" that has been on my studio tables over the last few weeks. I'll do my best to provide details in the captions, if I have them...

Friendship Sampler by Birds of a Feather

My studio has been quite productive and there are some things I can't show you yet. Plus, I have done a bunch of project bags for my Etsy Shop (I won't bore you with a million photos of them)...and if you are looking for one of the limited Large Sunflower Project Bags (for the limited Lady Dot Creates Sunflowers for Ukraine Accessories), there is currently one left at the time of this posting...I could possibly have a few more in the future, but I have used up most of the fabrics.

I did pick up this fabulous fabric from my local quilt shop a week ago - this is Renew by Sweetwater for Moda - seriously, how CUTE are those little rainbows...and I just love the positive, happy message of this fabric line. I don't have a plan for these yet, but one is brewing...

  2. What adorable fabric you picked up, Belinda! Your finishes (from the bags to the wall hanging) are simply incredible. I love everything you featured and it would be hard to pick a favorite. Hope you are feeling better! xoxoxox
