Let's Sew Along this Summer - Bee Patriotic Sew Along!!!

Hello busy bees!

Thanks for stopping by for a little visit 

and some sew along news:)

I'm excited to share with you

 my next Summer sew along...

Bee Patriotic

June 1st thru June 29

Let's "Bee Patriotic" and 

sew for our July celebrations:)

We will be using my book 

Vintage Christmas

and making the quilt above 

which consists of 12 of 

the blocks from the book:)

As a maker...I'm sure that you have

 heard of "Christmas in July" 

sew alongs and stitch alongs.

This year I thought that it would be fun

 to do a twist on that...doing

"July in Christmas" 

instead of 

"Christmas in July"

by making July projects

 from Christmas Blocks.

Yes...the block patterns are in the book

 and so are the instructions 

on how to sew the quilt together!

 The quilt setting that we will be using 

is the one called Deck the Halls

and is on page 182.

I made my quilt using the 12" block size

 but if you follow me at all...

you already know that I have 6" block 

cutting instructions in the book as well.

You could make your Bee Patriotic Quilt

 in whichever size you would like...

using either the 6" or 12" blocks.

"You are the BOSS of your own quilt!"

We are simply using patriotic colors

 instead of Christmas colors

 to make the blocks...

and just like magic...

the quilt transforms from

 Christmas to Summer.

Isn't it amazing how the look 

completely changes with different colors?!

Super Fun:)

As usual Toby has to 

get in on the photo shoot LOL

I'm so excited that my book publishers

(It's Sew Emma)

 are participating in the sew along 

as well and have kindly prepared

 a fabric bundle and a PDF with 

the yardage and schedule information.

Feel free to pull fabrics from

 your scrappy stash or you can...

CLICK HERE

to use the exact same fabric that I did.

This is the Bee Patriotic Bundle

 which consists of fabrics from 

several of my fabric collections combined:)

Denim...Aqua...Red and Coral Pinks 

are the colors that I use when 

making patriotic quilts and projects....

and I LOVE how they all look together:)

I'll also be using these colors

 and this bundle to make a few more 

patriotic things that I will 

show and tell you all about

 during the sew along.

I hope you will join me for summer sewing...

it's going to be sew fun!

I'll also be talking about it on 

INSTAGRAM 

and using the hashtag 

#BeePatrioticSewAlong 

Please do the same so that we

 can share our progress together.

Okay stitchy friends...

I'll "bee here" on June 1st 

for week one and 

I hope you will be too!!
