A Few Favorite Resources

I recently was asked to speak for my church group about sewing.  How does one cover in thirty minutes or less a skill she has been cultivating for over thirty years?  Anyway, it was a fun evening among friends.  Here are some of the resources I shared with those ladies that night.  I do not profit from any of these links... They are just a few resources that have helped me along my sewing journey.  I hope they help you as well:

·         http://www.ruthsstitchery.com/   A quilting shop in Colorado Springs that is amazing – let me know if you’re heading there, I am always up for a road trip to The Springs!

·         http://rockymountainsewing.com/ For machine repair or purchase, they are awesome!

·         http://www.amazon.com/Darice-1204-59-Crafting-Assorted-Colors/dp/B000CFD5SC The little pink crafting iron I use.

·         http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Razor-Edged-Scissors-Quilting/dp/B000189RV4 The scissors I recommend.
