@seweverything Yes,I loved it!

[Gail Patrice Design @GailPatrice]

I am very grateful for the sewing and serging community. I never would have guessed when I was a dental hygienist that my side passion for sewing would turn into a full blown career. I had big dreams and sometimes have to pinch myself to remember that this is what I get to do🤩

I love this quote from Mother Theresa. I am lucky to have many blessings in my life, but I am always grateful for the people who have challenged me to grow and learn.

Some days, you just need a glass of wine😂 Mistakes are all part of the process, but once in a while it's nice to take a step back and unwind with a glass of 🍷. Who's with me?

Whether you're making a skirt, quilt, tote bag, or home décor item like a pillow, embellishment will take you from a commercial pattern to a one of a kind treasure. It's All About Embellishment comes from my love of teaching embellishment techniques.

Nothing like a feel-good Walt Disney quote to kick off the weekend! Imagination and dreams keep my creativity going even after years of sewing, serging, and creating new patterns. And there is nothing better than a good long belly laugh to feed the soul😄

[Gail Patrice Design @GailPatrice]

I find myself often thinking of things in the future or back to something I could have improved. It's easy to forget about the present moment! As I go into this weekend, l'll be practicing being present in the present and being grateful for each moment.
