Friday is Fun Day

Today kicks off the Heart of Colorado Shop Hop.  Seven shops in southern Colorado are participating with the theme "Games People Play."  Each shop will have a unique block and setting, free demos, games and prizes.  Let's hit the road!

My friend, Mary, has a cabin in the Sangre de Cristos mountains of southern Colorado and she invited me to a mini-quilt retreat next week.  So to say "thank you," I made her a hostess gift:

It's a sewing machine cover!  I  got the design from "ihavetosay's" June Sew-along.  You can make one, too --Randi will post the tutorial on Monday, June 25.  I couldn't wait, so I figured it out from the photos.  I think it will be easier with the tute!

I got the "Keep Calm and get the Seam Ripper" from Pinterest.  I tracked it back to Lisa at Stuff Mummy Makes. She posted the sign in many colors, and you can click on it to get one of your own.


Of course, I had to add the "MyAuntMarthaMadeIt" label, which I bought from gutentags on etsy.

Hope she likes it!
