Join us live for a preview of the curated Benartex batik bundle and a ruler quilting tool demo. It’s a picture of what’s coming when we stitch and connect in a creative community experience. We’ll wear a fascinator, enjoy mocktails and finger foods, and share recipes while we learn.

We are 19 days away from the first ever hybrid retreat, Colourful Stitches Design Studio: Polygon Master Class, which will take place on July 29th at Vandiver Inn in Havre de Grace, MD. The retreat is one-day in person followed by 30-days online mentoring. You will learn all the finer points of designing and executing exquisite polygon quilts as we piece "Dance in the Light". All techniques and tricks of the trade will take any pieced quilt you make to a higher level. That means "how to" for designing, coloring, cutting, construction, pressing and finishing. The joy is in the details. The space is limited so register now.

You will get access to pre-class prep in the private Facebook group page, space to create and stitch, written instructions, lunch and one-on-one mentoring. We will be using Polygon4 and Polygon5 tools. If you do not have the tools, they will be available at the retreat saving you the shipping cost.

okay, we have how many days until the election? 98 or so. I'm thinking I need to make a simple quilt block each day to help count down the days. Not sure which block or what to do with them when I'm finished but I'm in.

This would be a free stitch along hosted on my Gyleen's Quilting in Colourful Stitches FB group page. If you are not a member of that page join it now so you don't miss any of the fun.

I will do a FB live sometime today to kick it off. Stay tuned and join me.

Are you inside from the heat or heavy rains. It seems like there is only two choices unless you live in the upper northeast or northwest.
Well, I have some video entertainment to offer you. Sit back and relax and stitch while you listen.
