SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL SEWING MONTH!



Do you adore fabric? Do you love creating with fabric as much as I do? There are quite alot of us out there.  So many in fact, that in 1982 President Ronald Reagan declared September as National Sewing Month stating that,"Tens of millions of Americans sew at home. Their efforts demonstrate the industry, the skill and
the self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation.”

Since 2008 National Sewing Month.org has sponsored a sewing contest in September.  This year's theme Sew for the Love of It is quite apropos for all us lovers of the craft!  Sew what you love and enter the contest. Find rules here.

I'll be busy sewing for my fall collection and for the contest all this month.  Much will be revealed in a few weeks!

What's Your Color Personality?


Better Homes and Gardens online has a fun quiz that determines your "color personality". I rather like to think I know myself, likes and dislike pretty well.  I took the quiz anyway for fun.  Well, the results were no less than on-the-mark!  My color personality is Earthy Green.  Try it.  You have to be completely honest with your answers.
