Lots of things being sewn! Just not by me…

January 12, 2015

I cannot seem to start sewing!  Who knows how to break sewing block in the new year?   Oh well, maybe I should just start making a huge scrap quilt or something crazy like that.  That would get me going, right??

BUT, these wonderful bloggers below have been sewing things for the Sewing to Sell Blog Tour.   The feeling of seeing someone sew something from your book is pretty fantastic.  And these ladies are so so good!
