Sew Grateful Giveaway: Thai silk

 ,

Hooray! It’s Sew Grateful Week, the annual event launched by Debi of My Happy Sewing Place, and today is Giveaway Day. I’m grateful that I have time to sew, even if I sometimes don’t think I do.

I may be moving slowly on my own Wardrobe Improvement Project, but I’m pretty sure any forward progress at all is at least in …

This is my 500th post. It’s not very exciting when I think that I’ve been blogging since 2000, earlier if you count our Germany Journal, but milestones deserve to be celebrated, yes? Also, I recently won a giveaway! Wasn’t I just saying that I never win anything? And now, twice in 3 months! So: Diane at From Blank Pages launched this clever thing a while back. Charming Travelers! It’s a charm pack (56 5×5 fabric squares) that she gave away on her site. The rules state that if you win the Travelers, you get to pick out whatever squares you …
