Block Party – Month 8
Happy October!! If you're in the Northern Hemisphere you may be experience that lovely chill in the air, with that magical "fall smell". For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, I'm sure the warm afternoons are a welcome change. This month's block is a really fun one.... and might be my favorite of the entire party... we'll see!

Block Party – Month 7
How do you usually feel about September? Ready for summer to wrap up? Cool fall crisp air rolling in? Excited to spend some more time indoors snuggled up with Netflix?
Block Party – Month 6
You've made it to August! Question: Do you consider August part of Fall or Summer? I know I know, it's technically a summer month. But, you can feel the anticipation of fall, right? Pumpkin spice will start showing up this month. Fall decor will start coming out. So..... I say forget seasons. Let's get our fall on!
Block Party – Month 5
Happy July quilty friends! I can't believe we're already to month 5 of our Block Party! I've had such a fun time making these and seeing your versions. This month we're working on - wait for it - partial seams! To be honest, partial seams get a bad rap. They are much easier than they seem and help you create all kinds of beautiful block designs. So give it a shot and let me know what you think!
Block Party – Month 4

Kendra Scott Bracelet Dupe
So I've been drooling over this colorful beaded bracelet from Kendra Scott for months (sad story: the bracelet is now out of stock). But it was $68, and to me, that is a lot of money for a bracelet! I just couldn't pull the trigger.
So instead, I decided to see if I could make a copy cat version of it myself! And I did!
Block Party – Month 3
Happy May!! We are keeping it simple this month, but with 21 pieces to this block, it's not as easy as it looks.
