Wildflower Meadow - The sew along!!
Wildflower Meadow Sew along!
Need some more beautiful flowers in your life? Need more sewing in your life?
Well, this sew along is for you!
I’m soo excited to be running the Wildflower Meadow quilt pattern as my third sew along event!
I’d love it if you’d join me!
This is the main information post about the sew along.
I’ll be listing everything you need to know about the sew along here, so if you are interested, read on!
What?
A sew along (SAL) is a virtual get together where we all sew the same pattern.
With this SAL, it’s my Wildflower Meadow pattern
You choose your own fabrics and share your progress as the sew along develops.
We can see what each person is making during the sew along by using the #wildflowermeadowquilt (general pattern #) and #wildflowermeadowsal (Sew along #)
It’s a great way to meet new quilters, share your makes and get inspired by the online quilting community.
Also, there’s prizes!
When?
The sew along will begin on Monday 23rd March 2020
Sew along will run for 8 weeks from 23rd March – 17th May
Where?
The sew along will take place on Instagram, hosted by me, @louorthdesigns and using the hashtag #wildflowermeadowsal
