Happy 4th!!!
Happy 4th of July everyone! Henrietta’s here a day early to help us celebrate. I hope you have a bit of time this weekend to get started on block seven. Two more blocks to go and then we’ll be onto the borders! We’re so close to finishing!
Be sure to click on the “Sewing with Kids” tab at the top if you have a little free time this weekend to spend with your child. The first project is up along with some suggestions on how to teach kids to use the sewing machine. If you have a child or a grandchild who wants to sew this is going to be so much fun! When you see this button in a blog post you’ll know I’ve posted another project.
If you’ve read about my husband’s fishing expedition I have GOOD news. Saturday was a CATCH SALMON day and he’s coming home with 45 lbs. Thank you Canada for making him so happy! Tired…but happy. They also flew the salmon back to the airport for him. He flew by helicopter, but I think the Salmon went first class. It was waiting in customs.
Have a wonderful 4th of July!
Hugs,
Anne

Oh those smiles! Lovely girls Anne, isn’t it wonderful to be able to share your passion with them. My little ones are 3 and 6 weeks so I’m going to be printing these off in 2 notebooks to have at the ready in a few years, thank you for such a wonderful tool And glad lots of salmon is coming home too, he’ll have lots of smiles now, as well as plenty of fish tales!!

Anne, I love the new block, the little acorn birdhouse is so sweet! Also, thanks for the ‘sewing with kids’ section, it’s packed w/ great ideas to make learning to sew even more fun for my granddaughters. Your granddaughters are so beautiful and are bound to become accomplished stitchers w/ you as their mentor.

Happy 4th of July Anne!! So glad your DH’s fishing trip ended with a good catch. Nothing better than a happy DH. Looking forward to following the ‘Sewing with Kids’ tutorials. I’ve started sewing with my 8 year old granddaughter and my grandson who just turned 6. I started him sewing last summer when he wanted to make a quilted teddy bear……I said….if you sew the lines to make the quilted fabric I will make you the bear…..Kyler did great…..now I have to finish my part of the promise…..It is a red and green plaid and will be a Christmas bear…..won’t he be surprised Christmas morning. Have a wonderful holiday….. hugs Pauline.
