I haven't been completely idle this week. You might not be able to tell, but I did get the top row of my Base Camp table runner sewn together. I plan to wrap this project up today. Love that Timber fabric by Sweetwater.
On another topic, do any of you subscribe to the Fat Quarter Shop monthly Sew Sampler Boxes? I recently signed up and have thought the first two boxes I have received have been quite nice. Typically you get a collection of fabric (a Jolly Bar, Layer Cake, Jelly Roll etc), a quilting tool (a ruler, marking pen, template etc), and one or more patterns, plus an extra notion or two. My friend Carol says she thinks the box is worth it for the coupons alone. The August box had a 20% off Layer Cakes coupon, and the September box has 15% off Jolly Bars (those terrific 5" x 10" fabric collections). In addition, FYI, if you don't really care for the contents in one of your month's boxes, there is a FaceBook Sew Sampler Box resale site where you can resell it to someone who might want it.
I wanted to give all of you a head's up that there are going to be some changes ahead for my blog. I have used Typepad as my blogging platform since I started Sister's Choice Quilts in 2007. Typepad is becoming obsolete and I am experiencing some serious issues lately. As a matter of fact, they were "down" yesterday and I was not able to even write and post my daily blog. I am afraid that they could go belly up any time now, which would leave me in a real pickle.
My plan is to hire a service to help me "migrate" this blog to a different more up-to-date platform, WordPress. I hope to accomplish this in the next week or two. I am hoping that all my content will transfer over, but that remains to be seen. Anyway, keep checking here for the latest news on how to reach my new site so you can keep reading this blog.
For those of you who are worried about not being able to keep following me, I suggest you hit the "subscribe" button just below the top photo where it says Sister's Choice Quilts. If you subscribe to this blog, you will be notified by email each time I create a new post.
That's all for now!

Oh I hope the transfer goes well! All those memories and gorgeous quilts!
I started following you soon after you started blogging. My cousin is also an avid quilter, and there were often emails (no texting then) saying ‘check out Sister’s Choice today.’
I hope you always blog. I think it’s so much more fun than Instagram.

I hope you are able to transfer to a new platform without losing any of the content you’ve shared over the years. I’ve followed you since the very beginning and I enjoy your posts first thing in the morning when I have my coffee. Good luck!

Don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t get to read your blog every day. I went from reading 20 blogs every day 18 years ago to just yours. I hate instagram and tiktok and never going to follow anyone on those, so I wish you much success. For you as well as for me!

I hope you experience a very smooth transition and still keep all your previous content. I don’t get the sew sampler box, but I have a friend who does. I wonder if she knows about the Facebook resale site.

I’ll join the others who have wished you success transferring your blog to WordPress. You have so many followers who appreciate your sewing tips & day-to-day life stories who will be joining you on the new space. I’m wondering if that is the most recent box from FQS? If it is, how ironic that a straight rotary cutter is included just when you’ve changed to the ergonomic style!

I follow some other blogs that use WordPress. From my end it works well. Good luck!

It is so sad that so many have moved away from blogging to just posting reels or posts on other social media. I miss the more detailed content that used to be posted. Hoping your transition goes seamlessly! Are there other platforms out there to post your blogs (for example, that other social media people use, not necessarily quilters). I don’t get the Sew Sampler subscription box. I think it is very clever marketing and seems to have also been popular with other quilting websites as well. Does your granddaughter show any interest in sewing?
