Winter doldrums got you down?? Agonizing or stressing over the state of the world?? You're not alone. Join me in in my Facebook group for a new March sew along to make a cute little quilt using your Civil War/reproduction fabrics. Playing with fabric and small blocks always perks me up and takes me away from it all. Set aside maybe an hour each week in March to make some little blocks with me and see what it does for you.
We'll be working on a few small blocks each week. Details and instructions for making the first block will be posted tomorrow, Friday, Feb 28, 2025 in the Facebook group files and also on my website. Look for the page titled Civil War Mini Quilt. I'll add instructions for subsequent blocks on Fridays through March.
I hope you'll join us - The blocks we'll be making will be small and using up some of your fabric scraps may be all you need to get started. Before you start - tidy up your sewing table, change your needle and poke through your scrap basket for some tantalizing fabric scraps you'll want to use up. An organized sewing space goes a long way to feeling motivated to begin working on something new.
None of the pieces to make the blocks will be larger than 4" x 4" so you won't need much fabric. Although . . . even a little bit of new fabric always helps us feel inspired. Have you visited one of my favorite shops online? Ye Olde Schoolhouse in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, sells wonderful bundles of fabrics that are just perfect for making small quits. Last time I looked, Jeanie also had several kits available for some of my quilts. Making pretty quilts requires buying some pretty fabric . . . . but you already know that. I'll post the first block tomorrow (Friday).
