THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FREEBIES
Thank you so much for the free patterns. These will keep me busy!
This is an amazingly generous thing to do! Happy World Wide Quilting Day to one of the BEST stores in America for Quilting. I downloaded both of the Sewcialites, although I loved downloading them when they were originally released as part of the fun sew-a-long. You are amazing and so is your staff
Thank you so much for all the freebies. You taught me how to quilt with the entire Beginners series and I haven’t looked back since. I am so grateful to have learned so much from you, Kimberly. Thank you!
First thing in the morning, I sign on to my emails and pull yours up! Today was extra special because of the freebies, especially the flag table runner. There are several patterns that I printed out and will be busy sorting thru all my fabrics today. Thanks for your great tutorials and newsletter. I have learned so much from you and appreciate all the hard work in producing the videos.
Thank you so much for all you do in sharing your time and talents
Will there be a Sewcialites 3
Quilt a long?
Yes, we’re planning for one in 2025!
We’re so glad to share our free patterns and happy that they’ll be put to use! We’re so lucky to be welcomed into your sewing spaces. ❤️
