Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. A special hello to those who saw our #SnowflakeQuilt mockups on Instagram. 👋 Thanks for being here!
Meridian Idaho, Monday September 7, 2020
Hi there!
This past week I hit a milestone for Sewfinity.
I ordered the remaining colors of Kona Cotton I didn’t yet have, completing the purchase of the entire line of Robert Kaufman’s Kona Cotton Solids. That’s 365 colors, folks.
I started Sewfinity a couple years ago to be focused. Starting with solids. Because solids are awesome. And because they're going to be around for a long long while, and I decided to invest the time to create exceptional experiences around these "evergreen" basic fabrics. I will likely carry some special prints in the shop, but for now, solids rule.
I also started Sewfinity to be lean. I’ve built our solids inventory over time, being debt-free and reinvesting profits into new color bolts. It’ll take a couple months for the last remaining colors to arrive (due to the pandemic), but man o man, I am so stoked to have purchased the complete line.
And let me tell you, the past few months have been amazing for my business. My sales have skyrocketed. Likely due to you guys sewing during the pandemic. Facemasks, quilts, clothes, what-have-you. I am so glad you guys are sewing and I’m so thankful for business.
🧵 THINGS WORTH KNOWING IN THE WORLD OF SEWING 🧵
❄️ Snowflake Quilt Pattern
You need to see all the color combos I put together of the Snowflake Quilt by Modern Handcraft. This pic shows just a handful of the gradient mockups I made.
See my blog post for all the mockups along with the fabric names. I am getting so many positive remarks about these mockups - people find them so helpful to visualize quilt colors. I am happy to help you guys!
Also, how cool and modern is this pattern?! I’d love to make one for each of my kids in their favorite color. Maybe for a Christmas gift? We’ll see...
💗 Hack the I Heart You Quilt Pattern
Did you know there’s a patchwork hack for the I Heart You Quilt pattern? Now you do! Get your pattern from us then print out the handy hack at the end of this post by Pen + Paper Patterns. Perfect for small square scraps!
🌨 Kona Snow is back in stock
For ice cream, sometimes you want creamy vanilla rather than pure vanilla bean. Served with a slice of warm apple pie, it pairs nicely without overpowering.
Same goes for Kona Cotton fabric. Sometimes the creamier Kona Snow is just the ticket, instead of stand-out bright Kona White.
We’ve been out of Kona Snow for a couple weeks (thanks, pandemic inventory challenges), but we just got some back in stock for all your quilty needs.
❆️ Snowflake Sew Along
Nicole of Modern Handcraft is hosting the Snowflake Sew Along 2, an 8-week sew along Sep 7 - Oct 26, 2020. You should sew along! It's low-key, the pattern is simple and cool-looking, Nicole is super-sweet, and there are prizes! And don’t miss #SnowflakeSewalong on Instagram.
Thanks so much for reading. Stay safe and sane out there. Sewing helps.

Welcome to the 48th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday October 4, 2026 Good afternoon ☀️ I am happy to report that I have actually been sewing lately! Whenever I get back into it after a non-sewing spurt, I feel pretty dumb because it really is a key to my happiness. I finished my Copihue quilt that I've had in the works for a lonnnnng time, and I just love it. I also made a little lunch bag for SewPINK with some bright and...
Welcome to the 47th edition of the Sewfinity newsletter, written by me, Angela Bowman. Hi from Angela Meridian Idaho, Sunday September 6, 2026 Good morning ☀️ Let me tell you.... we had some of our busiest days ever in the Sewfinity warehouse this week. Due in part to The Grimoire quilt pattern released by Eva of Gingerly Quilt Co. What's Grimoire? (confession: I had to look it up). It's a book of magic, or a spell book. Think potions, stories of dragons, enchanted roses. This quilt is...
