April, May, June, & July 2021 Events!

Hi, Everyone!  I have been working hard to plan my quilt alongs for the next few months and I'd like to share them with you now so that you can makes plans to sew along with me in one or all of them!

Below you will find a brief summary of all of the quilt alongs that I'm hosting that will be starting in April through July.  However, each of these quilt alongs will get their own detailed blog post with all of the information you need to participate (if you'd like to) as we get closer to their individual dates.

Here are the events for April, May, June, & July!

April

Savor the Season Quilt Along

I am hosting a quilt along for my Savor the Season quilt pattern!  To make this pattern, you'll need a copy of my book Season to Taste: Quilts to Warm Your Home All Year Long.  If you don't already have it, you can get your copy of Season to Taste on Amazon, Martingale, and Fat Quarter Shop.  

We will be making blocks from multiple quilts in the book and assembling them together to make this fun sampler!  I will give instructions on assembly here on my blog but you'll need the block patterns from the book to make the quilt.  

The Savor the Season quilt along will run for 6 weeks starting on April 2nd!  I posted an information post on March 10th that gave the fabric requirements and also some mock ups using different fabric collections.  Use the hashtag #savortheseasonquilt and #seasontotastequiltbook to share your progress.  

Here is the schedule that we will follow-
