Dream. Motivate. Create.
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!
Happy June everyone!! I've been chatting with many of you about the weather lately, and I sincerely hope wherever you are you're getting some sunshine and warm days! It really has never felt better to enjoy the fresh air!
Here is the PDF for the 10.5" square template. Make sure you print out the template at 100%, preferably from your desktop computer using the free software Adobe Acrobat Reader.
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!
Happy May!! We are keeping it simple this month, but with 21 pieces to this block, it's not as easy as it looks.
Are you ready for a little "behind the seams"?? Today I'm sharing how I film my videos from above!
Welcome to Month 2 of the OklaRoots Block Party! Congratulations on making your blocks in Month 1. Overall, we seemed to have a lot of positive feelings about that block, so let's see if we can keep it up for April!
My current favorite drink from Starbucks is the Medicine Ball Tea. It's light, refreshing, and just makes you feel good. However, as of March 16 2020, in the middle of the COVID-19 outbreak, it's basically impossible to find. So let's make some at home!
Happy March 2020 and welcome to the first month of the OklaRoots Block Party! To start the sew along, we'll work on a block that looks complicated, but can be completed in just a few steps.
Are you ready to make a quilt??? Don't worry, we'll work on it slowly over the course of 12+ months, just 3 blocks a month, and in the end you'll have a snuggly time capsule representing a year of your life!
