Welcome

This year our sew-along features a fun, bright and cheerful, "under the sea" themed 43" x 57" lap-quilt. It consists of nine blocks that range in skill, but is still accessible to an eager beginner. The blocks range in size from approximately 7" x 12" to 15" x 28". 

Beginning in September the pattern/instructions for a new block will be released on the 1st of every month. The patterns include comprehensive cutting guides, tips & tricks and step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the blocks. 

How It Works

Once registered, you are able to access the patterns/instructions one of two ways:

1-Digitally through this website in the a members-only access SEW-ALONG section*

2-You may choose instead to have the block patterns mailed to you monthly.
