Designed for kids and adults, this weekly downloadable sew-along-series starts at the very beginning. Week 1 covers sewing machine basics, sewing vocabulary and simple stitches. Week 2 features a really cute popsicle project that can be made in an afternoon. Be sure to visit the Janome summer camp site each Monday for a new activity.

Finally, be sure to check out your local library to see what crafty activities are scheduled as part of the Summer Reading Program.  Maker Space and Crafternoon programs are very hot right now in libraries!  Best of all – most are absolutely FREE!  (Oh, and if your library has one – be sure sign up to read to the READing dog if your ‘lil stitcher is in grades 1-6).

Quick update on t-shirt quilts

June 6, 2018

I’ve noticed a lot of traffic to my Etsy shop for mosaic quilts. If you recently clicked only to find nothing there, please try again. I put the shop on vacation mode from January – May while I was completing the requirements for my reading endorsement.

I am currently completing two mosaic t-shirt quilts and will be able to accept new projects after 6/15.

Thank you for your interest.
