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.

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.

To enter this giveaway answer the following question: 

Name a pattern or design (bag or quilt) that you would suggest for someone who is just starting out sewing. Something easy yet satisfying to get them into this craft. 

For me, I always recommend the Itty Bitty Boxy Bag. Yes, I know it's my own pattern, but that little stinker is CUTE and quick. The perfect gateway bag to our world 😉.
