Hi First name / friend,
 
Spring starts this month - YAY! Can you tell, I might be a bit excited about it? The thought of spring has me feeling hopeful for a peek at the sun and planning lots of new projects. Does it work that way for you too? Read on to see what I've been working on over the past few days …

You may have noticed that many of my patterns include instructions for making a single block into a pillow. There's a great reason for that …
 
 
Quilt Math - 2-½ Inch Strips

Do you love those pre-cut strip rolls? I certainly do - but they don't always come in exactly the fabrics I want to use - so I often cut my own. I've created a chart to make knowing how many strips I can cut from various yardage increments so much easier. Even better - I've made it so you can download a copy for yourself.

Upcoming Events

The next show on the schedule - is Northwest Quilters “A Festival of Quilts”. I've been busy reaching out to Quilt Guilds all over the Pacific Northwest - I'm in the process of adding lots of new shows to the event calendar. Check it often, there's something fun to attend - nearly every month of 2024!
 

 
Thank you so much for being part of this Quiltblox Creative Community! 
 
You inspire me to keep creating and I appreciate your support!
 
I hope you have some fun projects in the works! I have several in process that I can't wait to show you. In the meantime …
 
Happy Stitching!

PS: Let's Celebrate our Finishes! 
Every Friday at 7:00 am I'll post on the Quiltblox Facebook Page - my finish for the week. I'd love for you to join me and add a picture or two of your finishes so we can all celebrate what we've accomplished. Thanks so much to everyone who's posted so far - I love seeing what you are working on!
