HI! Stephanie here. I am popping in on todays episode to tell you a little bit about what is coming up in 2018 for Modern Sewciety.

Hey everyone. I promise I am still here and this blog is still alive. I have been so busy sewing FOUR huge teacher quilts. I am finished and they were delivered on time. I will have some more posts about them and everything else going on soon. Today was the last day of school and I think I need a nap!

thoughts on the online community, giveaways, and winners

Sometimes I think I need pictures to post on here. I need to have super edited and beautiful pictures. Alas not today just my thoughts. I can’t tell you how awesome this online, especially the sewing, community can be. I have the nicest people that comment and email me about the blog and podcast, people who leave love on instagram, and when I ask for help for the Zeller family so many ask how they can help out. How cool is that?!?! And then I have those that respond to my emails asking them to come on the podcast to chat. I can’t thank them enough. And there is Jennifer that with all she has going on with her own family, blog (Ellison Lane), and Sew South made time to chat about Downton Abbey. I makes me wonder if I am being kind enough to others. If I am doing enough for others. If I am using my talents to help others. I hope so. I really do. I think you guys are so great.

I put up a call for those to help make quilts for the Zeller family on instagram. If you don’t know their story, please read this post. I think we have enough who are going to help but then others wanted to help but not make quilts. I get that. Time is precious and sometimes we just don’t have the extra time. So if you would like to help then shoot me an email. I think showering them with love no matter what we send is awesome. I think pillowcases, doll quilts, pouches, handmade toys, etc would all be awesome to send them. Heck even some embellished hand towels. Every time they would look at these things in their home they will see hope. They will see kindness. They will see color to help brighten their world.

And then there are the people you meet online that you connect with and feel like you are instant friends. I have had that happen a lot lately. Take Julia from My Rainboots are Red. And Nathalie from Nathalie Bearden. And Ellyn from Ellyn’s place who leaves comments on the blog which make my day. I have seriously felt so much love and kindness from each and every one of you. I can’t stop having people on the podcast because there is always someone I want to chat with and get to know a little more. I love getting to know you. I love allowing you to hear your favorite bloggers laugh, voice, and passion. It is so cool. So stay tuned and hold on because there are some awesome people coming on the podcast. I don’t know how I am going to keep up but I will find a way. Somehow. Someway.

If you haven’t entered the giveaway for the Downton Abbey fabric from Andover, please go HERE and enter.

And Shari is the winner of the giveaway from Amy’s Creative Side!!! She won Modern Basics II and Kitchen Stitches. YEA! (Shari I have emailed you)

Okay talk to you guys soon.

Sharing a little snippit into our life here at the Modern Sewciety homestead. I share a lot of the little things we do daily on Instagram so I thought it would be fun to do a weekly roundup here on the blog.

 

I worked on a secret project that I still need to send out to the secret person!

The other strap needed something too!

Our Washi Tape needed somewhere to live… our paper towels now have no home! It is driving my paper towel loving husband nuts but the girls and I are super loving this eye candy everyday! The washi needed a home more than the paper towels. I mean it is only logical people.

My girls wanted to sew this week with me. They each made a fat quarter bag. No cutting only sewing. Note to self… don’t let the older sew while she is tired. She couldn’t retain anything I was telling her but she did make a very cute bag.

Someone wants to sew a fat quarter bag too!
