Lily is home with my sister and her hubby, and will be pampered and loved while she heals and finds some normalcy in what’s been a crazy life for a little kitten!
For anyone that missed it, Lily was adopted by my sister and her husband after she was abandoned on our parent’s property. Her leg was injured, but what we didn’t know what she had been shot. I’ve been on a mission to help my sister and her husband pay for the surgery Lily needed to save her life. Lily’s leg had shrapnel in it and was infected. She she was running a fever and her leg was amputated today to save her life. She’s on antibiotics and painkillers and short a leg, but she’s already improving, is happy, eating and being a kitten again, despite her big surgery today!
In donations alone, we have raised $1300 to help pay Lily’s expenses!
I can’t say thank you enough. Really. THANK YOU.
Check out all the fantastic auctions going on at Love For Lily with all proceeds going to help with Lily’s medical expenses!

That’s right, registration is now open!
*throws confetti*
Join me and 19 other talented instructors for hours of video workshops!
In my workshop, Paper Piecing Art: Beginner and Beyond, I will take you through paper piecing step by step using an original pattern I designed especially for STITCHED! I share all my tips and tricks for making paper piecing both fast and fun and at the end, you’ll have an 8 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ piece of fabric art great for using in cushions, wall hangings, tote bags and more, plus the skills you need to tackle any paper pieced pattern!
I am so excited to be part of this project and to get the opportunity to share my love of paper piecing with you in a new and exciting way!
Use your STITCHED project to make a cushion cover…
or a piece of art…
or get scrappy with a fun wall hanging!
To celebrate registration day, I am giving away three PDF instant download copies of My Kitchen Window! Just leave a comment today and I will announce the winners on Friday!
