Hi ,

 

It's been a while! We have a short newsletter for you this week and some big news... but first, thank you for being a subscriber and staying with us. It's been a crazy couple weeks and honestly quilting has been on the back burner, but I have a brand new video tutorial for this this week which I hope will be really helpful.

 

Now for the big news. Our baby is a girl! I'll have more in an upcoming newsletter along with an updated, super cute ultrasound picture.

 

Here's a family selfie I took in the parking lot after we found out. James was hoping for a baby brother, hence the enthusiasm level that's clearly evident on his face.

Recently we received this wonderful picture of Audrey's Sunshine Sampler quilt!

 

Sunshine Surprise was a Quilt Along project focusing on patchwork and machine quilting aimed at beginners. You make one block at a time with the goal of learning and becoming comfortable with free motion quilting.
