not part of a quilt group but really loved this little video

Such a great little gift -- the recipients will love it! Think I need those colored bulb pins. 😝 My former guild used to do various challenges. One I liked was: one of the officers of the guild went around the room with a big bucket of crayons. We had to reach in and pick out three crayons (without looking in the bucket) and then make something (anything) using those three colors. I got lucky and got good colors; my friend got horrible colors, but she made something wonderful out of them anyway! Another challenge they did every year (for those who wanted to participate) was for their Christmas luncheon. To participate, you put 5 fat quarters into a brown paper bag along with your name and a note saying what you wanted the other person to make (most people just said "make whatever"). Then, the bags were put in a pile at one of the summer meetings (to give enough time to make something by December) and those participating would select one of the bags (not your own) and make something for the other person that would be unwrapped at the luncheon. The ladies made the most beautiful things and NOT necessarily just quilts -- purses, pillows, tote bags, and many other beautiful items were made. It was so inspiring! Hope this helps you out! 🥰

My local quilting group meets once a month for meetings. We have show and tell and you can bring handwork any time. Each meeting has either a guest speaker, a member giving a mini class or some other activity such as in May we have 'the biggest morning tea' which is a fund raiser for cancer. We have a trading table of donations to sell - could be books, fabric, home made jams etc. Each year we have a challenge. One year it was make an apron, this year it is make a pin cushion which can be a biscornu. We have had challenge fabric to include in a 12.5" block. These are then made up for charity. We have 2 sit'n'sew days per month on Saturdays. Thak you for your tutorials I really do enjoy them and try to make some of your projects. I am in Australia.

Very cute.

Hi Julia ..I'm in Ireland and our sewing group meets 1st Friday of every month ...from 10 till 4 .. On the WhatsApp group sometimes a member will suggest a project ...we never run out of idea's..really keeps the brain going ! If there is a fundraiser coming up for anything local we will all make a donation for it .. Great to pass on skills and ideas ..knowledge is of no use if its not shared !! Love your channel..we use you a lot for inspiration ❤

hi Julia, very cute ! Sorry I can't help you, as I have never joined anything myself. Sure you will get some great ideas from others though.

The quilting club in my area meets monthly, except for a few summer months, has a share time, various functional committees who report, often a speaker, and offers, for a fee, classes from well known quilters in the worldwide community, either through Zoom or in person. These classes are at a different time from the meetings. Offerings differ each year.

Nice job! What a clear demo with very helpful explanations. Thank you so much for this. GAC 900 here I come!❤

I graduated in 1974 so my 50th class reunion is being held this Sept. I just had an idea to alter/upcycle based on your "peace" sign jeans to wear to the reunion. You have so many cute ideas in your cute shop. I still love the comfort color sweats to wear everyday. The fabric is fab and so warm and comfortable.

That’s an amazing shop! Wish I lived closer to visit. Thanks for the tour! 🩷💐

Where are you located? I love your shop !😊

How fun! You do have a lot of products. Do you sell a good bit of it? I wish I had a flea market like this in my area. You’re talented

I always enjoy your shop tours, wish I could visit and purchase in person but Texas is too far away. I have had several purchases from your Etsy shop and enjoyed everyone!

Hi Julia, absolutely love it when you do a tour of your shop ! Thank you so much.

Ooo, I like those pink shorts!
