🏡 Big REVEAL!! Our NEXT Wed Sew Along Theme!

Our Next Block Wednesday Sew Along Theme is......

***Home Is... Mystery Sew Along Details***

This sew along theme is inspired by all things 'Cozy'.  I have some fun ideas that will bring us into fall and winter, when we can all use some coziness!

DETAILS:

• RUNS:  January 6, 2021 to June 2, 2021
• Blocks: Various size blocks 
• SIZE: Asymmetrical Lap size - similar in feel to The 182 day Solstice and Grandma's Kitchen 
• Type of Blocks: Pieced with a FEW EASY applique tossed in
• TIMING:  Wednesday around 7:30am EST. Email notice goes out noon-ish in my time zone, EST. The email is NEVER when the block is published.
• Quilt Photo Sharing: Share at my Facebook community or at the end of each article. You can share your fabric down below! I am using the same photo share for all the Block Wednesday.

FAQ:

• What is a Fat Quarter? A fat quarter is half of a 1/2 yard of fabric cut WIDE so it is  18" x 20" 
• Can I use fabric that is not a FQ? Sure! this is meant to use up what you have with a bit added.
• Can I use Stash (fabric I own) - Yes!  Pull out a bundle of beautiful fabric
• Will I use all the fabric - Not all of it. This is to give you variety, more is better!
• Can you show me the blocks in advance? No, it's a mystery
• What are the Technique? - All Easy Pieced. And some easy Applique.. SUPER EASY applique. Get my Applique book at http://shrsl.com/23352
  • NOTE: The Block does NOT LOOK like the topic of the week. This is not a pictorial quilt. I do a topic as it is way more fun than just plopping out a block.  I love the memories and sometimes research that goes into the topic.  That keeps my Sew alongs fun and unique.
