"Me Sew Happy" Quilt Along Week Six

Week Six - 6-13 May

This is it - our final week! First of all, I am so sorry that this blog post is so late. I had entirely forgotten about it... I have been sidetracked this week, sewing for my next pattern release. I am loving how this new quilt is coming together. It is another scrap style quilt, but with a repeat pattern running through it. Anyway, enough about that - for now :)

If you haven't already, this last week is all about putting your quilt top together. I have loved seeing the finishes to date & am excited to see more, as they are finished. Be sure to post a picture on Instagram & use the hashtag #mesewhappyquilt so that we can admire your work.

Thank you so very much to everyone who has participated - it is humbling, delightful & such a privilege, all at once, to have so many of you creating your own 'Me Sew Happy' quilt. Keep an eye out for my next pattern, & if you're interested in being a pattern tester for me, send me a DM - I'd love to hear from you!

This week's Instagram homework:

1. share a picture of your completed 'Me Sew happy' quilt top - whether it's finished this week, next month, or next year! Remember, it's your quilt, so your rules - finish it whenever you'd like! Just remember to use the hashtag #memsewhappyquilt so that we can see your pics.

This week's "Me Sew Happy" target:

1. assemble your quilt top

2. take your time with it, carefully pressing seams as you go for a better finish

3. your Instagram homework (above)

And, finally, one last reminder about this Super Special Quilting Offer: my friend Judy, of Furball Farm Quilts machine quilted my "Me Sew Happy" quilt. This is the fifth quilt that Judy has done for me & I have been delighted with them all - there has never been an issue, & always with friendly & efficient service. Judy used the design 'Eye Appeal' for my quilt & you can see it in more detail if you scroll back through my Instagram posts. I think it works a treat with this pattern. As we commenced this quilt along, I reached out to Judy to see if she might have a special offer for "Me Sew Happy" Quilt Along participants & she has delivered! The details are below:
