2025 New Year, New Fun!

Here we go! I have been remiss about posting to my blog. 2024 was just a busy year for us. But here were are and we are launching into 2025!  Last November I started to migrate my videos over to my YouTube Channel. It is just easier to have things all in one place and somewhat organized so I don't have to scroll through Facebook to try and find them for folks. My video skills are rudimentary but will improve with practice. Who says you can't teach an old dog! You can visit our YouTube Channel at this link: Sister Of The Divide Please take a moment to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and to watch and like a video. This really helps us out and we so appreciate your support. If you hit the notifications button you will also be notified everytime we upload a new video and you won't miss a beat!

Today the postman delivered my order from Amazon and I am so happy to start getting my WIP projects organized for this year! I ordered 12 stackable plastic bins that are 12" x 12" square. They were 6 bins for $38. These are perfect to store my quilt blocks and organize those projects that I want to tackle this year! I plan to number them 1 through 12 and to draw a number each month. That corresponding bin will be the one that gets worked on. The goal is to complete all of these by the end of the year, in addition to what ever else I get cooking on. A little discipline and focused organization will go along way to achieving my goal. It's the perfect time, here in Idaho, with the snow and cold weather, to sequester myself in the sewing studio and get things done. Here is a link if you want some for yourself.

Yesterday I taught a class up in Rigby, Idaho at the Senior Center for the Behind The Seams Quilt Guild. We made the Star Table Topper. Great fun and everyone finished their project before they left. Here are their finished Toppers.

Currently I am teaching the Courthouse Block Quilt with optional layouts. We will finish this one up this month so be watching for the reveal.  If you haven't started on yours yet, you can get the basic instruction from our YouTube video. Courthouse Block - No Attorney Required.

So Come along with us and get your fabric out, cut it up and let's have some fun making a Courthouse Block Quilt. Quick, easy, great for a beginner. Mix and match your fabric, you will have fun making this quilt.

We are going to have some surprises coming up in February. We will be starting a YouTube membership. For a small monthly fee you will have early access to all video tutorials, you will have exclusive early access to new pattern releases and there will be a FREE monthly pattern release this year for an applique block of the month. We will announce more about this as it draws closer. 

We are very close to 20,000 followers on Facebook now and once we hit that mark we will do a special giveaway to celebrate! Make sure you are following us on Facebook as well! https://www.facebook.com/SisterOfTheDivide

Happy New Year to you and yours! We want you to know how very much we appreciate your support. Your comments are always welcome. We love when you share your makes with us! We started this all off to encourage folks to learn to quilt and I think we are accomplishing our goal. We will keep it simple, we will go slow so you can follow along and we will always be available to answer your questions as best we can. Here's to a blessed and productive year for all!
