I nearly forgot it was Sew, Mama, Sew’s Giveaway Day, but thank social media for the reminder! (I knew it was good for something..)
In the holiday spirit, I’m giving away a PDF copy of my Mirth wall quilt pattern! It uses 9 different fabrics to create a nine-block quilt. The full-size paper piecing template is included (you’ll make some copies of it) for easy and precise piecing.
All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me something you’d like to learn about sewing and quilting in 2017.Ā I want to know what you want to know. Maybe I can help you learnĀ or maybe it’s something I want to learn, too!
And then head back to Sew, Mama, Sew to see what else people are giving away today!
Winner will be announced on Monday, December 12, 2016.Ā is Kathy E.! Thanks to everyone for their input–it’s given me some great idea for tutorials in 2017.
