 I follow Bonnie Hunter.  If you are not aware of her blog, please check it out.  She is a prolific quilt maker and full of knowledge and experience.  She is also a great positive person and so uplifting.  

I read her blog from Sat, March 5th about Ami Simms supporting the Ukraine through Etsy. 

Read Bonnie's blog here.   The reference to Ami is near the bottom. 

I then followed that link and went to Ami's blog.  

You can read it here

I checked out some of the people that Ami bought from and LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!



Of course, I had to have it.  I love sheep and the fact it was BLUE was even better!  

I looked carefully at the Etsy vendors and this one has been in business before the war started. As in everything, I don't want to support the crazies who take advantage of the situation to make money. This person has been selling since 2018 so I thought it was pretty safe. 

Also, Bonnie is having a quilt along for the Ukraine.  I love the scrappy hearts that she is making.  I will probably make a few myself.  The link for the quilt along is here




Until next time, Happy Sewing!!

Cute zippered pouch on Brother Sews Facebook page

Saw this cute zippered pouch and design on the Brother Sews Facebook page today.  It includes the directions for the Brother machine but the Baby Lock Solaris can follow the same directions.  

Sew cute with the embroidery.  I am looking for a tool pouch that I can make for work and when I am sewing.  Maybe I can adapt this??  

Check out the link.

Just Get It Done Quilts You Tube Videos

 Just watched a great You Tube video from Just Get It Done Quilts.  It was about pre-cuts and 10 things to know.  The last one was most interesting because it was about pricing. 


If you have ever wondered about precuts, watch this video.

I also watch her videos on stash busters and how to organize. 

Here are a few of my favorites.
