Introducing... Sew Daily with Sew Shabby!

Finish your projects, meet new people, and win cool prizes.... sound like fun?  

Hey all you quilters and fabric lovers!   If you are anything like me, you wish you had more time to finish those WIP's.  I start so many projects and can't get them done (well in a timely manner).   It's hard when you are so busy being a mom, wife, employee, or taxi driver for teenagers.   It's so easy to get caught up in all the duties of life and feel like I have nothing left for myself. 

 But it's been important for me to do something for myself DAILY.  Sewing is my favorite “me time”. 

So I had an idea, and I have been testing it.   I have been committing to sit down and sew every day.  Even if it's just 5 minutes!

Trim up a few of those HST's.  Start cutting your fabric for the swoon quilt.  (You know you get secretly envious every time you see someone finish theirs).  Load one of your many quilt tops on your machine and finish it!  Bind it!  Wash it!  Then revel in its goodness and how amazing you feel for accomplishing!  

I did this for one month.  Some days I only gave it a few minutes and other days I gave it a few hours.  It feels so good!  Maybe you already do this?  Well then join us to help motivate those of us who need it.   

I am starting a monthly giveaway for everyone who wants to "Sew Daily with Sew Shabby".   Post pictures on Instagram of what you are working on and tag #sewdailywithsewshabby and @sewshabbyquilting.  Long arming and FMQ pictures count too!  This is open to everyone!   You don't have to do it daily, but you can get 1 entry for every day you post and tag. So If you only do it once, that’s fine! The more you tag the better chances you have of winning! 

   On the last day every month I will randomly pick a winner from the feed using random.org.  The prizes are going to be so awesome!  So let's have fun, get to know each other, and  motivate each other! 

 This month’s Sew Daily With Sew Shabby prize is a 40 Fat Eighth Bundle of April Shower's by Bonnie & Camille for Moda.    Good Luck to Everyone!   (If you have any ideas for future prizes - Id love to hear them)
