Oh, yes, Cheri, I am sewing. I am making a baby quilt for my first grandchild, finishing a pickle dish, and making a wall hanging. I love your flags and will send for the pattern.

That is a fun little piece, I love doing small quilts.
I am sewing but not as much and this week is our anniversary week, so hoping to get out and paddle all week.

Love the flag quilt! And the pincushion is so darn cute!!
I have been sewing this summer between yardwork and gardening and picking cherries. The cherries are all done, so hopefully more stitching will be accomplished.

Ginger said...

I absolutely love your flag! reminds me of the one on your Folk Art Gathering Quilt, of which I am making two, one for me one for my bestie. Love the quilt btw, is much more work than I expected, but am loving most every minute of it. working on the 14 flowers on the borders(x2!) all needle turned. I very been sewing on them nearly three years! I would love to win the flag pin cushion to commemorate the last year of sewing on the quilts. pick me!

Robin said...

Love the little flag to celebrate the 4th.

Nancy said...

Wonderful flags! I hope to sew this summer - some clothes for both me and my granddaughter and a quilt or two in progress. People keep visiting and I don't like to ignore them to sew! Happy summer to you and thanks for offering the pincushion. It's perfect!

Charlotte said...


You bet, I am sewing. Almost every day, I work on a project. I have several (well 5) and I work on each one during the week. I kind of like this system. I got a few projects to the flimsy stage.

I decorate with patriotic quilts and decor during the summer. Your pincushion would be the perfect addition.

Thanks, Charlotte

I never stop sewing! I'm even sewing for Christmas now--egging a head start.

Cheri--another great pattern. Just went to Chicago quilt show and bought many projects to complete. I would LOVE to win a pincushion made by YOU!!

GIJane279 said...

Yep I've been working away on projects this weekend. I worked a lot on my winter crazy table mat, I'm getting close to being finished finally! I remember the fun of that class and "someone" stitching hers to her jeans lol. Sure wish I lived closer so I could join more of the classes. :)

Phyllis said...

Oh love these!!!
Yes, I will be quilting this summer, unlike most years we will not be going away this summer, so it will be a staycation... or in my case a 'sewcation' :-) Nothing wrong with that.
P.S. should I win, even though I have a Dutch email address I do have a US mail address that can be used....just in case ...

I can't watch TV with out hand stitching something so I use a needle and thread almost every day.
I love the flag design and would love to have that pincushion.

Hello, gorgeous pincushion. I'd love to give it a home (even if it's in France). As for sewing this summer, I went to a quilt show last week so it's all systems go.

I tried my first attempt at improv piecing last week, my compulsive side took over though and I took it apart to make 90 degree corners. Haha! Oh well it's not symmetrical, and that's a start. Right!? Thank you for the opportunity to win the cute pincushion. One of my many vices; pincushions......... WhitneyBryce

Mary said...

So cute!
I want to sew, I've been planning to sew; I need to sew! Life is busy!

Love your Simply Red, White and Blue quilt and pattern design. Very cute pincushion too! Great way to use some of our beloved buttons!

Debbie said...

Definitely sewing this summer! Doing a simple paper pieced pattern and making crazy patch blocks with the scraps-both 6 inch. I also carry a go project box with me at all times and am doing EPP hexagons and clam shell pinch pockets in that. Gorgeous flag quilt and would love to win the pincushion-thanks for the chance!
