Today I'm so excited to share some BIG news! Whether you're a first-time quilter, a beginner, or a quilter extraordinaire my friend and fellow AGF design sister Sharon Holland and I are thrilled to announce and welcome ALL to join our very first co-hosted community event, the Sewcial Bee Sampler Sew-Along!
The Details
The Sewcial Bee Sampler sew-along includes a coloring sheet to help you plan out your fabrics, twenty-five fully tested PDF patterns with step-by-step illustrations for each week’s block that we'll be making together, plus detailed assembly instructions for a beautiful finish!
Beginning this Wednesday, February 1st and continuing through July, Sharon and I will be releasing one new PDF block pattern each Wednesday on our blogs. We'll share our own finished block of the week at the same time to offer as inspiration and we'll include any tips and tricks we might discover while making our own. I'm planning to use prints from all of my collections combined with linen and denim, while Sharon plans to feature her upcoming, beautiful line with AGF, Bountiful! The Sewcial Bee Sampler includes twenty-five 12" blocks with added sashing to create a finished quilt measuring 72" x 72". Once all of the block patterns are released, we'll share assembly instructions, followed by a big quilt top reveal day the first Wednesday in August! To add to the fun, we've joined forces with wonderful sponsors to offer new, amazing giveaway prizes each Friday both on our blog and on our Instagrams throughout the sew-along!

Thanks for putting together a fun project.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you so much for joining us!
DeleteMaureen - I consider myself to still be "new" to quilting, and want to try a sew along... but I live really far from a fabric store, and would love to sew my stash. Do you think the overall pattern would do well with multiple patterns of various shades of the same hue?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Mine is going to be super scrappy, with prints included from all of my collections. We'll release the materials list tomorrow! Thank you so much for joining us!

ReplyDeleteLove your blocks and fabric!
ReplyDeleteJust found out. Would love to join. What do I do now? Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease add me to your list. I actually posted my block for this week on Instagram and have logged your fabric line into my Etsy store at DarlenesFabricShop. I am a little late but am happy to participate and at this point work backwards! :) I hope you will do this again.

ReplyDeleteI am REALLY late to the party, but I am interested in doing this. Can I use fat quarters? How many would I need for the blocks for the top? I have the entire Van Gogh collection which might be fun to do with this, even though I am a REALLY slow quilter, too!
