Happy Friday!!! 

My week has been beyond productive and a big part has been dedicated to watching the *Creative Live Improve Your Holiday Sales online classes.  It’s been awesome!  The courses have been really insightful and inspiring.  I’ve got lots of idea flowing and eager to get started! 

Before heading out for the weekend I wanted to share these adorable miniature bears with you.

Aren’t they the cutest?!

They are all handmade in Germany from needle felted wool by the talented Gabrielé; the artist behind the Etsy Shop Mistrsandman.

She also makes the most whimsical baby mobiles featuring needle felted wool bunnies that would be a unique addition to any nursery.  Hop over and check out Gabrielé’s designs; you’re sure to find one that warms your heart!

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Machine quilting at home is a skill that grows with every quilt you make. I’m sharing the lessons I learned while quilting my Cloud Surfing quilt on a domestic sewing machine, including planning quilting lines, working with a guide bar, basting, lighting and learning to embrace the imperfect parts along the way. #MachineQuilting #DomesticMachineQuilting #QuiltingTips #ModernQuilting #QuiltingAtHome
