Sew Alongs & Clubs Happening NOW!

The online sewing & quilting community is my favorite. There's always something new & exciting happening to connect and inspire us to SEW! Here are just a few of the exciting new SEW ALONGS & CLUBS happening NOW. This small little group is full of variety -- there's an online quilt group, mini quilt club, national sewing month series, block of the month, quilt along based on a book, and a back of the month club! Because no size fits all in quilting, there is something for everyone here! The only way you can explore new techniques and have different sewing experiences is to surround yourself with great clubs, groups and sew alongs. We are so excited to have teamed up so you are introduced to others who we love and follow also. 

It's time for you to explore and start sewing! You'll find a quick description of what each is all about followed by a link for more info on signing up or sewing along. Have fun!

Back of the month with May Chappell - Want to design interesting quilt backs? Sometimes they’re as much fun as the front. May Chappell's new club called Back of the Month is like a block of the month for quilt backs! Each month, you'll get a pdf outlining a quilt back design idea. Each will focus on a way to design an interesting back, bringing elements from the front (and using all those scraps!). Since obviously quilt backs are all different sizes, there will be lots of information about sizing things and applying the designs based on what you have. Here are the details: On the 15th of each month, you’ll get an email from Send Owl to download a pdf. The subscription lasts for 6 months and is only $12. You have until August 14 to join. You’ll automatically receive Month One when you sign up! Come join the fun!! Learn creative ways to design your quilt backs with May Chappell's Back of the Month Club!
