Hello Dear Creative Friend!

Thanks so much for joining me for a few minutes today.

Wow--it's already JUNE and the Cosmos are popping up all over out here in our high desert mountain area of New Mexico.

The picture shown is from our 2022 garden but this year we've got soooo many self-seeded wild child Cosmos popping up all over our front garden bed (and yard). Literally thousands of them. It's a good thing I adore Cosmos flowers--and the bees do too. They are so bright, colorful & whimsical and their fern-like foliage sways in the breeze.

I love this time of year. It's such a good time to spend cool mornings in the garden and afternoon in the sewing/quilting studio to beat the heat.

Well...I best get on with it and head out to the garden myself. The sun will be blistering hot soon enough and time's a tickin'.

This week, I'm counting down our Top 10 Sewing Patterns and Top 10 Paper Roll Longarm Quilting Pantographs for the month of May 2023. At SewThankful we want you to 🐝 SEW in the Know. Enjoy!

Until next time...we're sending you cheers of encouragement, love, gentle hugs, and smiles. Go ahead, break the chains and unleash that amazing, creative person inside of you. YOU can do it. YOU are worthy. YOU are sew loved and needed in this life.

There's SEW much to be thankful for,

Tracy & Jeff Chapman in New Mexico, USA

We've been *SewThankful* for you since 2000!

A Longarm Quilter’s Gotta Quilt!

• From the back of the longarm, use paper roll pantos.
• From the front of the longarm OR on a mid-arm, sit-down or domestic sewing machine use tear away quilting designs.
