Hello and happy Thursday! Boy this week has flown by! I’m stopping in today for a Harper’s Garden Shop Update. Have you heard that our Harper’s Garden fabrics are now shipping to your favorite shops everywhere? Some of the ones I’ve ordered have arrived, and others will be here soon. So if you pre-ordered something, then it will be shipping either at the end of this week or the beginning of next week!
Harper’s Garden Shop Update
Low-volume bundle pre-orders will be shipping at the end of this week. And I may be able to add a few more to the shop. Check in on Friday if you are interested in those. There are also some of the prints available to ship now that will work terrific for borders and backings. You can see those here. And if you are looking for the dainty floral I used for the sashing of my Sunday Best Quilts Sampler quilt, you can find it here.
Fat Quarter Shop has also received their yardage, and so if there are any additional prints you are looking for, you can find them here.
Harper’s Garden Pre-Cuts and Kits
Harper’s Garden pre-order pre-cuts will be shipping next week. The kits will also be shipping next week–check your email if you’ve pre-ordered kits for my information on how to pay your balance due. We can hardly wait to see what everyone will be making with this collection!
Life Lately…
Last weekend I was able to travel to the beautiful city of Lehi, Utah and participate in the lovely Garden of Quilts event. The event was presented by Riley Blake Fabrics in honor of their tenth anniversary, and they went all out to present an amazing experience for those who attended. There were quilts hung in trees and in tents throughout the acres and acres of lovely gardens. There were classes galore from a variety of teachers, and there were also lovely and inspirational trunk shows and lectures. I was truly blessed to be able to attend and teach two classes. It was inspiring to view the displays and to be able to interact with so many others who love quilts and quilting!
And a Little More Life Lately…
Finally…we’ve had some pretty exciting changes here at the Quilting Life home front. We put our home on the market in June and were excited to receive an offer just a few weeks later. So…in between some of my teaching and traveling this summer we were also moving. It was a crazy busy summer to say the least. We are currently settled in just a couple of miles away and looking for our new home where we hope to stay for a very long time (moving was hard work)! My new styled fabric bookshelves from last week’s sewing room organization post are actually the new shelves I bought for our current residence. I’ll definitely be sharing more pictures and organization ideas from the new sewing room soon, too.
Thank You…
I wish I had more photos to share from the gardens…they truly were spectacular. I should have taken a bit more time to get more beautiful photos, however, I did truly enjoy the peace and serenity of the surroundings while I was there.
And thank you to all of you who read my blog and make it possible for me to combine my love of writing and my love of quilting and sharing. I appreciate the support more than you know. It’s been so much fun this summer to meet so many people who have told me they read along.

Oh my goodness, I am not sure how you do it all. Moving and having a very faithful and wonderful blog, plus designing and travel teaching.
Thanks for doing all you do. I do so look forward each blog post.
PS. Love Sundays Best book and all of your fabric collections.
Jane Eilderts says
Oh wow! I never would have guessed you moved! You are so faithful to your blog! And it sounds like you will move again? Can’t wait to see your new sewing space.

HI Sherri,
I always read your blog, but don’t always comment, as I’m sure a lot of people don’t. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your blog and all your news. It’s fun to see all that you are doing and follow along with your fabric and quilting adventure. Good luck with your move!
Nelda Shumway says
Sherri, You are so amazing! I can’t believe all you have done in the midst of moving. It is truly inspiring and thank you! I love your new fabric collection as well as your previous ones.
Patricia Rainwater says
WOW! You are truly inspiring with all you do. Thank you for sharing your journey !
Susan Pletcher says
Holy Smoke, Sherri!! How in the would do you do it all? And so gracefully? I’m in a tizzy just reading about it – especially as I’m just about to start a kit of yours I got 2 years ago! And I thought I was ahead of the game. I’ll be thinking of you as your journey to a forever home unfolds. Susan

You amaze me Sherri with your dedication to your job – designing fabric and patterns, blogging and sewing, sewing, sewing. Also now your move. My hat off to you for doing it so efficiently. So glad you have Chelsi at your side – love both your patterns and the beautiful fabrics you design. Wishing you lots of success with finding your new home and this next move to it. I used to say that everyone should move at least every 10 years – so to clean out all the excess clutter :), but it is hard work. After about 5 moves in 40 years – I hope we can stay a little longer now :)!!
sherri McConnell says
Thank you so much! It was actually really refreshing to clean things out and get rid of some clutter…we had been in our home 14 years, so we did have a lot of excess “stuff.”

How wonderful to have a new home: I hope that new sewing studio is big! 🙂 Your shelving looks wonderful! And it was good to see the pics of the Garden of quilts. I couldn’t go this year: I’m hoping they will do it again! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, H
