Hello, friends! I can hardly believe today is the final day of May–it really flew by for me with lots and lots of sewing. And now that the Memorial Day holiday is behind us, I feel like it’s time for all things summer. Today I’m sharing my Quilting Life Favorites May 2023 with the most read posts along with a recap of what I’ve been working on and the five things I’m loving right now.

Made
I really did do a lot of sewing this month. In fact, I might have sewn more this month than I have in a long time. I finished four quilts, a wall hanging, two pillows, and four table toppers–none of which I can share yet 🙂 I will definitely have a lot to share in July when we begin to share the upcoming collection I’ve been working with! I’m working on a couple of more quilts and projects with the new fabrics but will also be sewing some fun things to share with you in June.
Five Things I’m Loving Right Now
Here are some of my favorite things from this month:
- Just had my monthly zoom meet up with the A Quilting Life Patreon group yesterday afternoon, and I’m so grateful for the community we have there! Members receive a free pattern or shop discount each month along with access to the monthly zoom meet up on a variety of quilting topics. They also get first notifications of fabric and scrap bundles from our recent collections and a variety of free printable downloads to help with organizing quilting and sewing.
- I love this podcast episode from Adam Grant with Steve Martin on Finding Your Authentic Voice–so many good takeaways for those of us who love to create!
- I just received my Liberty Box from Fat Quarter Shop, and it’s so good! It is actually my favorite of the Liberty Boxes I’ve received in the past with terrific fabric and notions. I can’t share it until later in June, but you can reserve yours here.
- My new work planner arrived today (I love July start planners), and I’m excited to start setting it up!
- One of my favorites from the month was being able to attend the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. I’m so grateful I took so many photos of the gorgeous flowers. Our summer heat will be arriving soon, and remembering the flowers will definitely be a blessing.
June Calendar + Coming Soon
I also have a free PDF June calendar page you can download here or from the button below. And tomorrow will be the first post and video for my Happy Go Lucky Quilt Sew Along. I’ll be sharing the fourth pattern release for the Fat Quarter Shop Bountiful Charity Sew Along on Friday, and I’ll also be participating in the Fat Quarter Shop Haunted Halloween Mystery Quilt along beginning next week. So many fun things just around the corner!
