But, I really feel like I need to stay in touch with my quilting, I need to be able to create something during this busy time. In the course of a conversation with a friend she was saying the same thing. We needed a summer, sewing project, perhaps a commitment. From that conversation we are going to start a Sister's Summer Sewing Spectacular!
If every day from June 1st thru August 31 you made a nine patch block, you could spend Labor Day weekend putting together the fruit of your summer sewing. In fact you probably wouldn't have to do one every day, you may choose to do five one day and that's it for the week, but still at the end of summer you would have a great project to show for your time.
Now of course I tend to be excessive compulsive at times and I think how I could do a nine patch AND I could paper piece a flower every day so I could have two quilts. We will see how that goes.
In preparation for this project I will make a hand out with some picture ideas of nine patch quilts to help get your creative juices flowing. At the end of summer, those who have participated will get a coupon for savings on batting and backing for their quilts, AND their name will go into a drawing for a super gift basket. Join the fun.
