Block Party – Month 10

Block Party - Dec. 07, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

I cannot believe we're about to leave 2020. I become so nostalgic this time of year, looking back on all that's changed. Honestly my head kind of spins when I see everything we've experienced over the last 12 months! But if I could only say one thing about what I've learned this year, it would be that strangers can become family in the blink of an eye. I've never felt so close to so many, while being so far away.

Block Party – Month 6

Block Party - Aug. 03, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

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

Block Party - Jul. 06, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

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!

My early morning cross stitching just got a whole My early morning cross stitching just got a whole lot easier!

I recently picked up this @daylight.lamps travel lamp from @meissnersewingandvacuum , and it makes crafting in my moody lighting so much easier! It’s rechargeable and cordless, small enough to carry around but gives off a TON of light. I’m a big fan and have been using it all over the place.

Make sure to check out the HUGE sale going on at Meissner! And don’t forget code OKLAROOTS10 for a discount 💪
