Event: Handmade Love at Free People

I live in a state that’s so small toll bridges are not practical and we don’t even have a single IKEA store. So, if you are lucky enough to be close to a Free People boutique, you might want to check out their Handmade Love event this Saturday. Here’s a description of the event from their website:

DIY Valentine’s Day Event!
Saturday, February 11th, 2012
Noon-3PM
Come on down and DIY with us this Saturday! Make something special for your Valentine, and pick up the perfect outfit for your date. Whether you’re going out with the girls or a special someone, we’ll help you get ready! Each store will be hosting one of four different DIY events (…). In addition some stores will be featuring live music, refreshments, food, or special raffles, so be sure to check out what will be going on at your closest Free People boutique.

My pick is the Fabric Scraps Gift Card, photo shown here. You do need to RSVP on their Facebook page if you plan to attend. Go HERE to read Handmade Love announcement.

I recently treated myself to “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” by Jennifer Chiaverini for the upcoming holiday season. As a fan of the Elm Creek Quilts series, I couldn’t resist diving into this heartwarming tale of Christmas traditions and family legacies.

The anticipation of exploring the holiday festivities at Elm Creek Manor is palpable, especially with Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, the Master Quilter, at the helm. Sarah McClure’s eagerness to bring Christmas cheer to the manor adds an extra layer of excitement as she uncovers a curious Christmas quilt with a rich history spanning generations.

As I eagerly await immersing myself in this delightful narrative, I’m already captivated by the promise of cherished memories, family bonds, and the timeless traditions that have endured through the years. With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.

Please make sure not to leave me any spoilers as I haven’t read it yet.
