Join our new “Finish-a-Work-in-Progress” challenge. It’s relatively easy: register your UFOs (UnFinished Object) by emailing info@sewmaterialistic.com or in person, check in with us your progress every 6 weeks, and when each project is completed, show-and-tell to receive a gift of fat quarters. The one who finishes the most UFOs by the end of the year 2011, receives a gift certificate. Remember, there are consequences for those who don’t finish… Let the race begin!
Check out the store’s blog for the first UFOs to be submitted! www.sewmaterialistic.blogspot.com
Good luck! 🙂

Fall cleaning

I’ve been trying to keep up with a ‘block of the month’ group, but so far I haven’t been too successful. Instead of making one of each block, I thought I would be real bright and make 2, so I would have 2 more quilts to give to the grandkids [since I don’t think I will ever really catch up]. Only problem: I misplaced everything in the mess of a sewing room I have. I started cleaning last week hoping that I’d find everything soon since the meeting is next Sunday. I read somewhere that one should beware of a quilter that is cleaning her room; it means she is planning to move out! I found the bag in the second to the last corner. When I excitedly showed my husband, he commented: “does this mean you aren’t going to clean your room anymore?” RIGHT! Guess what I’ll be doing all night tonight? Show you both finished projects the end of December.
