For the Love of Sewing

You guys! Have you seen what Alyssa over at Pile O Fabric has going on? She’s launching a website for online sewing classes called the Pile O Fabric Sewing Room and the first offering is round 2 of her uber popular skill builder BOM (block of the month) series. I met Alyssa through the Moda Bake Shop and was pretty drooly over her cute website when I realized she does web design. The realization happened at the exact moment in time when my good friend Michelle was looking for someone to design her new website for Urban Spools. Fate. Alyssa also designed websites for the MQG, Lucky Spool, West Coast Crafty, and the brand-spanking-new home of Westwood Acres fabric shop. Alyssa has had so much awesome going on this past year that I honestly can’t see how she did it all. (Time travel?)

But I’m glad she did because I am in love with this project. The theme of this year’s BOM is “For the Love of Sewing.”

Gah! The cuteness! I’m five months into the Gypsy Wife BOM and it’s making me a little bit obsessed with the BOM concept. It’s a fun way to work on a quilt a little bit at a time. And it fits in perfectly with all of the other bazillion projects I have sewing on (see what I did there?).

I’m signing up for this BOM and picking my fabric this week because it’s too cold to do anything I would normally be doing. (If you live up north, do not even Google what the weather is down here in Dallas because you will probably be disgusted. By my wimpiness. ‘Cause it’s not even cold enough to snow.)
