(Read the whole thing to find out how to enter some GIVEAWAYS!) OMG have you seen this new sewing book for cat lovers? It's called Purr-fect Patchwork by Pamela Jane Morgan, which you can buy right from her website (signed even).  It's by C&T/Stash Books, the very same company that I worked with on my Making Faces book!   I KNOW!!! Look at this Blooming Curiosity quilt from the book: You know me, I am not usually one for patterns, but I have to at least make the center medallion part, right? Well I started! That's right, I ACTUALLY SEWED. From measurements. Following...

This Friday, June 11 I'll be chatting with the adorable and sparkly Rachel Pierman from CraftyMonkies! We'll be LIVE on the Crafty Monkies Instagram account at 5pm BST (which is noon, Eastern. I'm pretty sure😹)We'll be chatting about my upcoming July 17th Zoom class with Crafty Monkies - Making Faces with Melissa! Have you signed up? Here's the link to the sewing classes where you can book your spot! If you can't make it (or even if you can!), you can always grab a signed copy of my book Making Faces In Fabric !  See you Friday!

It's been a while, but I'm feeling the itch to make some fabric collages! I think i'm gonna make some small ones to offer up for sale in the shop - in the $95-$175 range. I will definitely make some people faces, but I may also make some lady faces and KITTY FACES!  If you are interested, make sure you are signed up for my emails because subscribers get first dibs! I have never offered these for sale before so they may very well sell out! xo, melissa

You may know that even before ye olde pandemic, i had slowed way down with teaching my Making Faces With Melissa class --- like, basically stopped. But I let myself be talked into teaching a class over Zoom! Rachel Pierman from Crafty Monkies is just so dang charming, I could not resist her when we skyped! It's 4 hours and about $55 USD! ( I say 'about' because they are based in the UK so prices on the website are in pounds.) Here is the link to the sewing classes list where you can sign up!  https://www.craftymonkies.com/online-workshops-sewing-quilting Class is on...

  I used to love teaching my #makingfaceswithmelissa workshops. I loved showing people that they could do something they thought they couldn’t do. I've written several craft books, but this is the one that i'm most proud of. It really  teaches you exactly what I do in class. And now I've made the books available in the shop! Just click the photo to purchase a signed copy (and go make some faces)! xo, melissa
