Happy Hoppy Easter! I hope you all have tons of fun finding Easter eggs, eating chocolate, and spending time with family this weekend. Now hop on over to your embroidery machine and whip up something quick with this cute Happy Easter design. It would look awfully sweet with someone's name in it - don't you think!

Your April Gift with Purchase is ready! You might notice there isn't any sashing on the front of the Sew Perfect Ruler Bag! 😍 I had a bunch of fun redesigning the Sew Crazy blocks so you can sew each month's section in ONE hooping if you have a large enough hoop! Woo hoo! I'll be adding the large designs to the January - March sets, too. They're not done yet (those darn instructions take forever!), but I'll let you know when the new designs have been added. If you already have any of the Sew Crazy sets, you'll be able to download them again and get the larger blocks. Click here to see how the quilt will look with the 11" x 13" centerpieces.

This month's gift includes the Sew Perfect centerpiece and instructions to make the Ruler Bag shown above (you can make it with the 5" x 7" designs, too). I'm using my bag to hold all my smaller rulers - piping rulers, scallop templates, quilt blocks guides, tape measures, seam gauges - all those little things that help you Sew Perfect!

This big, Mom! You need to make it this big!! Spooks had a grand time helping me finish your April gift. You'll get the Sew Perfect Ruler Bag free with any $10 purchase this month. Make sure to add it to your cart at checkout!

I'm ready for flowers!!! And lots of them! Whether or not the weather cooperates, I'll be making bunches of them in my cozy sewing space. Want to join me? Flirty Flowers are on sale this week.

They make any project cheerful - like the lamp above (my mom found that at a thrift store for me!), or the romper below (from All About Blanks).

You can embroider the flower centers, or skip that step and embellish them with beads, buttons, or whatever you want.

You don't even need a project for these pretties. Just make a bunch, throw them in a dish, and enjoy!

The Flower Stem Border goes hand in hand with Flirty Flowers, and it's on sale too. I love the border on this tea towel (yes, it's from All About Blanks, too), but I'm picturing a little girl's skirt with a Flower Stem Border all the way around, topped with sunny Flirty Flowers. Wouldn't that be a fun summer swirly skirt!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful Easter. Eat lots of extra chocolate - it's guilt free this weekend - that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. One more to laugh at before you leave... The Spooks is "helping" me make the fabric-covered, corded handles for the Ruler Bag. I hope you have such an excellent helper in your sewing room!
