Sailing into Mid Summer and a Business Announcement

Hi sewing friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit

as you enter my front door, this is what greets you (besides me) . . .

a sweet, summer, sailboat, in-the-hoop Kimberbell project

here are a few pointers if you plan to embroider your own summer sailboat:

• be prepared to spend some time on this one, it is not labor or stitch intensive, it just requires you to remove the hoop from the machine and trim fabric and/or press a number of times
• the instructions include 82 steps!
• it doesn't require much fabric, I used scraps from my stash 

Now for my announcement -  

I'm a new business owner!!!

Yep, my Etsy shop front will open August 1 under the name ANotion2Sew

I've been ever so busy sewing up inventory to stock my shop

I will sell handmade, high-quality home and fashion accessories

along with the patterns and hardware for DIYers

who wish to stitch up their own accessories

And just in time for the Fall season, I have several season-appropriate items

that will be up for sale - all lovingly handmade with care in my home studio

As we sail into August, check back here for the link to ANotion2Sew

just stop by to say hello, I love visitors

If you are an Etsy seller, please share your words of wisdom

Thanks for keeping me company today.
