The summer was so busy and crazy as usual so I didn't get any time to post. Now that summer is over for us up here and the market season is done I have more time to do some more posting. Well at least I will try. LOL! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a great summer selling season and the weather up here in the north country was unbelievably nice. We normally have two months of nice weather and then August gets raining, but this summer we had only a few real rainy times. And the temps.....man they we unbelievable also. On a normal year we get about 3 days in the 70's...this summer we had 34!!! Can't believe it. There were a couple of days that were actually HOT! And we had to turn the air conditioner on in the car. Thought I was going to die. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Been working on lots of stuff trying to get ready for the Christmas local shows and I have been stocking my Etsy shop back up. It gets pretty depleted during the summer as I don't have time to keep it stocked. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lots of new fabrics have been added for Fall and Halloween sewing. Here are a couple of them...</span><br />

The summer months up here are a flurry of activity. I am really busy doing all the markets and festivals around here that I rarely have time to breathe. LOL! Just finished my first big festival last weekend and it was amazing! The local people are so generous with supporting the local artisans and then we have the summer visitor's that are starting to come in. Pretty soon the big fishing season starts and then it is so busy around here that you can hardly get through traffic! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway I just wanted to pop my head in here and wish all the dad's out there a very Happy Father's Day and I hope you all have a great day!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Country is great for decorating. I wonder if there are very many people that still decorate with a country decor....hmmmmmmmmmmm? Anyway....I really liked this country sign fabric with all the animals on it. I thought this fabric would be great for placemats. I may actually take some of that fabric and make some. :)</span></div>

In the spring they are migrating through to their birthing grounds to have their babies. They always like to stop by our house and eat the grass out front. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I was walking really, really slow so I wouldn't spook them and so I could get pictures of them. They kept looking at me, but they didn't seem bothered at all. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I got to the end of the driveway and they were still there eating. I couldn't believe they didn't move off. Soooooo.....I am thinking.....now.....how am I going to get to my house. My driveway runs right by where they were feeding. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I thought great.....now how do it get back. So I sneaked around the garage and slithered in by the house and when I went up the stairs on the deck they were still just laying there looking at me. Normally they just move off when they see people. Guess they really liked my new grass. They laid there for over an hour and finally moved off. They returned a few time during the next few days, but I think now they have move back into the fields. We will see them again in the fall when they are moving to their winter ground. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In all my sewing and making items for my local summer shows I use a lot of fabric. And the one question I always have is to pre-wash or not. I was just think about this again and I know there are definitely people who say yes... and people who say no. I am a "no" person or better yet most of the time no, but with reds I always pre-wash. I received this article in my in box the other day from <a href="https://www.accuquilt.com/blog/uncategorized/to-prewash-or-not-to-prewash-your-fabrics/?RILT=readmore1&lb=n&utm_source=E160503C_Newsletter-A&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=consumeremail" target="_blank">Accuquilt</a> and thought again about washing or not. This article says to wash most of the time, but I don't know for sure. My local fabric store says you don't have to pre-wash anymore because the fabric manufactures know that most of the people don't want too, so they have changed the dyes in the fabrics. Hmmmm......so what do you say...yes....or....no? Anyway I thought I would pass this along to all of you.</span></div>

LOL!) we need to spring clean our sewing machine. Now....if you are like me this is something I continually think about, but do not get to it very often. With that said, I had this posted on my FB page the other day from <a href="http://thesewingloftblog.com/clean-your-sewing-machine/" target="_blank">TheSewingLoftBlog</a> and thought that I would share it with you. Mine can get pretty bad with all the lint and this tutorial showed me that I am not the only one! HA!HA! How bad does yours get? So get those machines torn down and get to cleaning them. :)</span><br />

LOL! Just messes up my internal calendar something terrible. :) I like to visit Pinterest for ideas and recipes and all the good stuff that is on there and I found this video the other day from <a href="https://www.missouriquiltco.com/" target="_blank">Missouri Star Quilt Company</a> on how to make carrots for your Easter baskets out of your fabric scraps! Now I know we all have lotsssssssssssssssssssssss of fabric all over the place so this is a way to use up some of them. They looks very easy to make and what a great idea for a project with the kids and grandkids!</span><br />

I just love all the new fabrics that are coming out and the wonderful designs. The best thing about it is that I get to buy all this great fabric and pass it on to all of you. I also get to increase my stash by telling myself....one for me....one for the shop. Ha!Ha! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been busy adding more fabrics to the store and I thought you might like to see some of them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I absolutely LOVE Susan Winget fabrics with all her gorgeous designs. Her designs have such an old fashion feel to me. I just can't get enough of her fabric. I buy it every time I see a new design. Here are a couple of the new one's I found for you.</span><br />

I was always a person that only bought fabric when I needed it for a project. Welllllllll...........now that has changed. I see a fabric I really like and I think...I am sure I can find something to make with this fabric. :) :) :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So now I have a stash. I am always getting neat tidbits and information from <a href="http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/" target="_blank">allpeoplequilt.com</a> and I saw this the other day so I thought I would share it with you. She has some good ideas that you might like to try. I especially like the one that tells me what the dots on the selvage of the fabric are for!! <a href="http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/how-to-quilt/quilting-basics/stash-rx?esrc=nwapq040913pina?page=0" target="_blank">Here</a> is the link or you can click the picture below. :) </span><br />

Got the two hardest months of the year out of the way for me. January and February are hard to get through for us. I guess it is because it is cold and dark up here. When March comes along we begin to feel like we have made it through another winter. :)</span><br />
