Summer Sew Challenge

Join us each day for the month of July. 
 
 
 
 Stitch just a few stitches every day-make a block a day-or whatever your schedule allows you to do.  BUT you must stitch a little EVERY DAY.

Post in the comment section your daily accomplishments.

Tomorrow I am gathering with a few friends to quilt at the shop.

First I need to design and cut out a
 Christmas quilt using the new
12 Days of Christmas panel and coordinating fabrics
just in


 
Will also cut out the new Manor House Star quilt
(also available at Patchwork Plus)
 
 
and finally
 
cut out our newest Block of the Month
 to start later this year

  3. Yesterday after the CW love letter meeting, I came home and laid out 25 2nd Sat blocks, husband called to tell me Masterchef was on, so I went downstairs to see that is was a rerun so I proceeded to stitch for 25 minutes on my "Over the hill" crabapple hill quilt. It took me another 45 minutes to get on a computer that worked to find out I didn't know where to post the comments to the blog so in facebook I went. Thanks Jan
