My 39th birthday is this week, and my husband and I are going to take a very short trip to the Pacific coast to celebrate. I'm excited about what is to come in the next year!

For the most part, I follow quilters on Instagram. Lately I have been branching out to follow other artists, and I have to admit to being mesmerized by and inspired by the watercolor painting of Josie Lewis (@josielewisart). Click on the image above to see the image being painted.
I would love to follow more artists in other mediums. Do you have any suggestions for people you follow that inspire you? Reply to the newsletter and let me know!

Pocket Full of Change ++ Quilt Tutorial
|
|
|
My good friend Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs published a super cute and fun quilt pattern tutorial yesterday that she calls Pocket Full of Change. Pocket Full of Change is perfect for using up larger scraps and left over bits of layer cakes, and (even better) with no matching seams, the cute design sews together quickly!

The Craft Industry Alliance has published a lot of great content on their blog recently!
How to Write a Great Bio: Tips for Craft Business Owners - I have a lot on my mental "to do" list for Quilting Jetgirl, and refreshing my bio is one of the things I would like to do, using the tips from this article.
How to Pick the Right Social Media Scheduler - It's crazy how much of a time sink it can be to create content, whether it is for my blog, this newsletter, or publishing to Instagram and Facebook. I have yet to truly dive into scheduling beyone my blog and newsletter. Scheduling my blog and newsletter posts is a huge benefit and I'm not sure why I have been resisting doing the same for social media.
Craft Industry Fears Major Fallout from New Tariff Activity - Abby Glassenberg dives into the complex territory of the new tarriffs and how they might affect the craft industry. As noted in the article, the majority of premium quilting cotton sold in independent quilt shops are imported from Korea and Japan and will not be tariffed. |

I am happy to report that our buddy, #PuppyTheCat, has had a dramatic turn around and is back to his normal cuddly self. My brother theorizes that he had a kitty kidney stone, but it's probably impossible for us to really know what was going on. I'm just happy he seems to be comfortable and mobile and happy again. I am spending as much time as possible cuddling under a quilt with him: his favorite place to be!
