Quilts Bloom at Dawn

This storm was a little rougher on our area than we expected, with lots of trees down and many still without power. Thankfully, we are doing well and look forward to sharing a new video with you this Saturday! 🧵😊

Hello quilty friends,

I won’t be able to join you for a video this week. We’re preparing for an impending hurricane headed our way, so quilting has to wait. 😞

I’m hopeful the storm weakens and passes, and that we’ll be able to pick right back up next week with our next video.

Thank you for understanding, and please keep everyone in the path of the storm in your thoughts and prayers. Stay safe, everyone! 💙🌧️

A Little Life Update & A Heartfelt Thank You

Have you ever had one of those seasons in life where it isn’t just one area that feels especially challenging, but several areas seem to hit all at once? That’s exactly what this season has been like for me.

First, the good news—my dad is doing so much better following his stroke. He is home now and adjusting to some of the limitations that came with it, and we are incredibly thankful for the progress he has made.

As a result of this experience, my parents have also made the decision to move from the home they have lived in for more than 50 years into a retirement community. We are genuinely so happy for them and excited about this next chapter, but as you can imagine, 50+ years is a LOT of stuff! When I’m not working, I’ve been spending many of my weekends helping them begin the process of downsizing and sorting through decades of memories and belongings. We have only scratched the surface, and there is still so much to do over the next few short months.

And, of course, there is still my day job, which has been more demanding than usual lately, with longer and more stressful days.

Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I am still managing to quilt a little—which has been such a welcome escape—but definitely not nearly as much as I was before. I’m hoping to record a video soon, even if it’s just to sit down and give you all a little update and reconnect.

And I made sure not to start the quilt along where we left off! I am determined that we will make that one together, and I honestly can’t wait to get back to it.

I am so eager to get back into my old routine and have that weekly time together again. But sometimes life brings a season that simply sweeps in and requires our attention, and right now, I know I need to see this one through.

Thank you all so much for your patience, kindness, and understanding. While I haven’t officially met most of you, I truly feel like I know so many of you, and I miss that weekly connection more than you know.

Thank you for still being here. ❤️ I’m looking forward to finding my way back to our little quilting corner very soon.

With love,
Dawn

P.S.: I recently purchased a panel, and I can’t wait to show you what I am doing with it! If you are interested in the panel, check it out at:

Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going.

I’m happy to share that I’ve recovered from my recent flare-up and am doing well physically. Thank you to everyone who reached out with your kind words and encouragement.

As many of you know, my dad suffered a stroke about two weeks ago. I’m thankful to say that he is improving a little each day, but right now my time is split between work and being at the hospital with him and supporting my family. Because of that, I just haven’t been able to get back to filming quilting videos yet.

I truly believe things will begin to normalize soon, and I can’t wait to get back to quilting with all of you. Thank you so much for your prayers, patience, understanding, and continued support during this season. It means more than you know, and I look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Hello friends,

I wanted to give you a quick update. The health flare-up I mentioned recently has improved significantly, and I’m thankful to be feeling much better.

Unfortunately, our family has been facing an unexpected challenge. A few days ago, my dad suffered a major stroke and is currently in the hospital. Right now, my time and attention are focused on being with him and supporting my family as we navigate the days ahead.

I miss quilting, filming, and spending time with all of you more than you know. Sewing has always been a source of joy and comfort for me, and I look forward to getting back to our quilting sessions as soon as I’m able.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and especially for your prayers and kind messages. They mean so much during this difficult time.

I look forward to returning with the Saturday videos soon. Until then, happy stitching, and hug your loved ones a little tighter today. 💙
