Thursday Threads 10/3

by Julie Hirt

Hope everyone is having a great week and able to squeeze in some sewing time.  This weekend I’ll be cutting into some fabrics to start a new quilt, something I’m definitely looking forward to.

It was pretty exciting last week to be posted on the Janome website. I love my machine!

Yikes!  I just realized it was Thursday and thought it was Wednesday all day.  At least Friday seems an entire day closer.

Thursday Threads Linky Party & Winner

by Julie Hirt

Thursday Threads is posting a day early so I can announce the winner of the last Sunday Funday giveaway.

Congratulations to Heidi at Red Letter Quilts.

Heidi, I’ll be sending you an email shortly. =)

 

This week I was able to cross a few projects off my list, which always feels good.  I finished up my Scrappy Trip Bee blocks and have them packaged up and ready to ship out.  Also completed a teacup block for Sarah Fielke.

Isn’t the pattern cute?  (the handle was a bit tricky for me)

teacup block

Sarah is collecting teacup blocks to create a quilt for her birthday.  I can’t wait to see it completed, she’s shared some really colorful blocks on Instagram.

I think there’s still time if you’d like to contribute.   Info here.

 

Let’s check out some of last week’s link ups!

Quilting App + Winner & Linky

by Julie Hirt

So excited to announce…

Quilt Bee App

 

I’ve been working on this for a few months and it’s finally released!   For now it’s only available on Apple Devices like the iPhone, iPad and iPod.

It really is just a simple organizer to keep track of things like:

 

  • sewing projects
  • quilting clubs
  • quilting bees
  • fabrics
  • works in progress
  • want-to-make ideas

 

Quilt Bee App
Just add a “New Bee” for each project you’d like to track.

It’s really perfect for holiday sewing organization.  Say you’d like to make quilted pouches for 4 different people. Add the project and your recipients within. Take pictures of the fabrics you’d like to use for each person so you can easily remember who gets what.

When you join a new Quilting Bee or Swap add it to the list.  Include individual recipients along with notes, websites, patterns and an image for each person.

Recipients names change color depending on the status.  You know you’re done when everyone is “green”.  Perhaps green with envy because of your mad sewing skills?

It was pretty exciting for me to see my little bee icon!

Quilt Bee App

 

Go get your very own cute little icon and organize those brilliant sewing ideas and projects!

The screenshots were taken from my phone and I’ve already added a lot more stuff.  Thanks Pinterest for giving me too many ideas. :\

Thursday Threads Linky & Winner

by Julie Hirt

Hi!

I don’t really have any works in progress to share (believe me I have lots of WIP) because I’m in the  middle of cleaning up my sewing room. It’s a disaster, I tell ya! Although I did make some lavender sachets yesterday.

 

Let’s check out some of the link ups from last week.

This cute wallet by Sandra at Small Town Thread. I have some of that print!

Love this Plus One quilt by Janet at Simply Pieced.

Pretty cushions from Marelize at Stitch by Stitch.

Do you have any plans for the long weekend (statesiders)?  I’m heading to the lake tomorrow evening so you won’t hear anything from me until next week.  However, the Sunday Funday giveaway will be posted!

Brenda G Hulsey! 

Congrats, Brenda.  I’ll be sending you an email shortly.
