Sew On The Go by Michelle Renee Hiatt

Yeah, it is Friday!  Another busy week, and it will not be slowing down any time soon!  The next few weeks are going to be even busier, as I have a Sleep in Your Bed Retreat at the Yankee Quilter, quickly followed by AQS Quiltweek in Lancaster, PA! Last weekend, I have a fabulous Color and Quilting 101 Workshop at The Yankee Quilter! We had 22 Quilters for the event and they learned about how color can change the feel of your quilt.  In addition, we covered; What color plans work well together.   How to identify the color of fabric.   Plus, how to use the 3 in 1 Color Tool and the Color Companion .  Both of which you can purchase in my Sew On the Go Shop .  It was great fun!   The Yankee Quilter will be offering it again in August , you can sign up online at: The Yankee Quilter .   While I was teaching at the Workshop, my phone started blowing up with emails and texts from the students who either couldn't ...

March is here!  Week #9 of the Mystery is here!  We are revealing Clue #9!  What could be better? Okay, I may have a bit of Cabin Fever going on, but I'm always excited when we get to March, I know that Spring is around the corner, despite looking out to a snow covered lawn. Last weekend,  I completed the the Double size quilt top for the cover of Periwinkle Swirl.  Originally, I was going with a smaller size for the cover, but I love circular motion in the quilt, and I felt the Double Size could really show off the movement.  Now to quilt it, photograph and get the pattern to the printer in the next 2 weeks.  Along with Moonlight Garden!  Here is a sneak peak of Periwinkle Swirl!  Stephen's wingspan is only so wide, but I think you can see what I'm talking about.  I love this pattern.  I know all my testers loved it as well. Coming Soon ~ Periwinkle Swirl  I will be teaching Periwinkle Swirl at numerous retreats thr...

How is everyone surviving February?   Can you believe we are half way through the Sunset on the Sound mystery clues?  Clue #8 is revealed today!  It's been another busy week between trying to complete two quilts for my next two pattern releases and tons of emails!  I mean tons! You can tell we are approaching Quilt Show season!  AQS Quiltweek in Lancaster is only a few weeks away and I'm teaching five classes there (there are a few seats left in Calm Seas and two seats in Sparkle if you are interested - AQS Classes ), and I'm starting to get a lot of questions on fabric selection, cutting instructions, etc.  I thought it might be helpful to address some of them in today's post. First of all, let me state, I love getting emails from everyone.  Finished quilt emails are my favorite.  I have no issue answering emails, but there are a few questions that always come up that I might be able to address in general that could help many of yo...

You know what day it is?  Thank goodness it is Friday!  Long week!   Which means another clue is revealing!  Yeah!  Everyone is doing so well keeping up and showing their fabulous fabric choices in the  SOTS Facebook group .  We currently have 245 members in the FB group, and the weekly Mystery Clue is averaging about 550 unique downloads a week!  We've had so new folks join us in the last few weeks and they seem to be catching up too! Last week I had the great pleasure of sharing a long weekend with 10 fabulous women at my Quilter's Choice Retreat, at the Strong House Inn.  We shared, laughed and sewed!  Make sure to check out the progress these ladies made on my  Sew On the Go Facebook Page !
