This effected Map testing at Stevenson and many classes are having to reschedule.

📢 District 87 has been experiencing intermittent internet outages due to network changes. This may cause usage errors for District-issued devices used by students.
Teachers are aware and will accommodate due-dates as necessary.
We appreciate your patience!

One of the big reasons I became interested in barn quilts was because of my love for sewing. This Friday night you can find my barn quilts and a few sewn goods (like these felt lightbulb ornaments, Scandinavian star ornaments, hair scrunchies {they. are. baaaack.} and holiday potholders) at Christmas Simple at E-Free Church. I’ll post a link to the event in the comments.
“It’s going to be a real dynamite night with a slam bang finish” Can anyone name the Christmas movie with that line?!

If you live near Normal and love sewing, be sure to swing by The Sewing Studio. They’re having a huge moving sale.

One of the things that works best for me and works great for you is that the barn quilt you see on Etsy is the barn quilt you’re receiving (unless it’s a custom order). So when an order comes in I am able to get it packaged and have the USPS come pick it up from my home within a day or two.

I also understand that shipping these barn quilts (weighing under 6 lbs) can get costly which is why I offer free pick up in Bloomington. Be sure to use BLONOPICKUP as a coupon code if you’d like to save on shipping by picking it up yourself.

My brother-in-law just posted this picture of their property in Michigan. I always love seeing their barn quilt on their chicken coop and the snow is just stunning.

Stay warm, drive safe, and please take time to enjoy the beauty around you today.

Peripety: a sudden turn of events that reverses the expected or intended outcome, particularly in a literary work.

So many of my barn quilts are inspired from actual quilts and these are no exception. They were inspired from the poinsettia quilt that can be found and made by Kristi of & (swipe right to see the quilt). Someday I hope to make this quilt with the quick curve ruler. Any quilters out there that have used the QCR?
