Prairie Sew Along - Week One!!

"BLOCK ONE"

Welcome to week one of the 

"PRAIRIE MEADOW"

Sew Along!

Join me here each week 

when I will be doing tutorials

 on the blocks for the quilt.

Of course because we are all sewing 

from all around the world  

we all have different time zones...

But I will be posting each Monday 

right here on my blog 

and you can follow my tutorials 

any time each week that 

 is convenient for you.

We are making the 

Prairie Meadow Quilt

68" x 85"

 

I've been sew excited to begin...

This is going to be fun!!

The quilt is made with my newest fabric

 collection called Prairie...

I hope that you all have all 

received your 

fabric kits by now...

 and that we are all ready to begin!!

If you still need one ...
