[...] As a reminder, we’re still working on our November/December project. Safe to say I’m ripping off this awesome idea. Meg is so darn crafty and the men in my life don’t read this blog. I’m pretty sure my dad still calls this my blob, actually. So, patchwork bags transformed into dopp kits it is. When we announce the winner(s) for this month’s entry, we’ll post our 2008 project too. Thanks again for playing along and man, I can’t wait to see what Amy sends our winners! Thanks to Amy and her awesome staff too for their generosity. [...]

[...] Dear Finny, Long time, no chat about our happily successful sew-along. Can you believe we’ve received more than 300 submissions in the last 11 months? Even more incredible, can you believe Ms. Butler herself is reviewing these and picking two grand prize winners? Holy moly. I just cannot get over this. And yes, I am fully aware what a dork it makes me when at happy hour someone asks me what the highlight of my week was and I head straight into, “Well, I’m in this sewing group and this super talented fabric and pattern designer actually emailed me! Can you believe it? Oh my gosh. And she is going to judge our little pool of photos…” Such conversation, which ultimately always results in the person walking away, rolling his eyes or simply zoning out is man repellent, as my brother so aptly puts it. On the other hand, we have WWF, the latest Mac Leopard/Tiger/Liger details, or football stats. If I can listen to you explain yet again the difference between a linebacker and a tight-end, then you can at least pretend to be alive when I rarely ramble about all things domestic. At least my conversations come with baked goods. Anyway, for all you In Stitches sew-alongers, I hope your November/December challenge is going well. I am busily sewing a dozen different Christmas gifts and while I’ve thought about what I am doing for this project, it has yet to move past my thoughts into a sketch. Fin, how fun would it be to receive mail from Amy? I’m sure it would come with a pretty note on her new stationery. And the prize… one can only imagine. It is going to be so fun to announce the finalists and winners with you later this week! [...]

Hi,
I’ve never read your blog before until yesterday. I read Rosalicious every day b/c she’s my friend from childhood. I saw that you had written a comment to her about dreaming that the two of you got in a fight. I thought that was funny so I followed the link to your blog and read all about your triathlon (awesome!!) and some other random stuff. Anyway, last night, I dreampt that you and I met and I was asking you about your time in Africa and you were telling me about your plans to adopt an african baby soon. Weird. But funny.
I love Africa. Maybe that’s why.
I like your crafts. You should check out my friend lauren, in Blacksburg, VA : http://laurensnotboredyet.blogspot.com/

Cheers!
jessica

Mornin’ sunshine – I personally am glad to have the freedom to do something ANYTHING that does not require patchwork. Or, at least, can be “altered” to avoid the patchworking.

You two are way too cute and generous. I don’t know if I can pick my own project, it’s been nice to have someone pick for me! And I agree, Amy Butler’s patterns are fabulous. Thanks again, and I’m sending you an email right now!
