It will feel odd to finish up this sew along. Last block is next week, then we'll talk about possible ways to put on a border.
Our next sew along is 'Summer Soiree' starting July 7 (details at the END )
Spring is swooshing into summer this week and it feels wonderful to take a walk without long sleeves! The cicadas will be hanging around for a few more weeks, this once every 17 year event is interesting. So far not as bad as the first year we had them 34 years ago. A neighbor thought the same.

**IN LOVE! **
I am IN LOVE with this thread cutter! It uses your old rotary cutter blades, that's right, it does! It's cute, comes in a ton of colors and you can switch the blade to new spots, it's brilliant!
You NEED one.. so to get it ...

**Next Block Wednesday **
This sew along theme is inspired by a 'Summer Soiree'.
soi·rée /swäˈrā/
"The definition of a soirée is a gathering or get-together, especially a posh or elegant one. A soiree is an elegant and intimate affair. It is an evening party held in a private house. While ambient music plays, guests engage in a variety of private conversation."
Doesn't that sounds like fun for a summer night? Each week our block will have a theme of something to do with an evening party!
***Fabric I'm using***
I'm using the Figs & Shirtings fat quarter bundle + background fabric from my friend Joanna. You will have some left over. I am so excited about using this fabric! I love that splash of black!
You do not have to use the same fabric as me. You can use any fabric you like
