#91 Wiggle Me Colorful Sew Along Info and a Give Away




I'm not as young as I use to be....now I'm not trying to make excuses....just reasoning why I am so far behind...I just can't do it all...lol. I know some of my Instagram friends jokingly call me the machine....maybe when it comes to sewing, but not where yard work is concerned...and I've been doing a lot of that lately. My Mother-in-law is turning 75 and my father-in-law asked if we would host a birthday dinner at our home and of course we said yes....I love my in-laws....they're the best. The only problem is now 20 plus people are coming here and all the yard work and house work, lets face it,  would never have gotten done till after the Sew Along was over, all of a sudden had an immediate deadline. Yikes, I hate deadlines.....lol!!
Good news, yard work is done....and I am almost totally recovered, (the I am old part!!)... and this week I will be working on the pattern, pictures and tutorial for the sew along.!!!!!

 Thank goodness when I got to the walkway, the field work was done and my son started helping.
 There is no way I could have lifted some of these stones.

 Every single stone in the path and the flower beds has been found on the farm property, mostly dug out of a field, which makes it super special and cheap, lol


Here is the great news: 








I have been in contact with some great online shops here in Canada and have some give aways planned and kits available. Hope to share more news about the kits real soon, there has been an issue with some back orders, but as far as a give away.....



Fabric Please has generously donated two Bali Pops, and I am sharing one with you!!! The other will be the tutorial sample and I can't wait to start!! 



So let's keep this simple, the give away is open to everyone....including international visitors. I am not going to have a sign up for the sew along, but hope that you will sign up to follow my blog via email or bloglovin, etc.... I truly appreciate everyone who takes the  time to stop by and comment, and I hope that the sew along will be a fun experience for us all.

I also wanted to let you know that Craftsy is having a sale on their classes. I have to say that when I first heard of Craftsy I wasn't convinced that I needed to pay for classes, lol! I signed up and downloaded some free classes and loved them. Then they had a sale and I bought a class.....well lets just say I have bought a few... the teachers are amazing, the videos are done so well, and the fact that they are always yours and available is fantastic, not to mention the list of subjects available. If you have an interest, there is probably a class available. If you haven't checked Craftsy out this weekend would be a great time to see what you are missing.

  11. Love that tutorial that will come soon, field work!! I will be 75 in July, and the bobcat with a front blade, that would be a great present, and with a man to do the work, even better. I am sure your M-in-law will so appreciate all the work, and know you gave away the quilting for a party!! Lovely path, and rocks at the side, great finish.Yes, please for the Bali, lovely fabrics.

  18. I follow via email so that is how I will be following the sew along. Fabulous looking walkway. I think it is so neat that all the stone is from your property. I am sure the field workers are glad to have the stone gone so it doesn't damage machinery.
