Hello First name / friend Happy May! I hope this month is going to be a fantastic one for you. Where I live, spring is in full swing and I have been enjoying walks in the bluebells woods near my house. I hope you are well and excited for the month ahead. I have lots of stitching planned for this month and lots of lovely things to share with you. |

Flower of the Month Sweet Pea Mini Quilt |
|
This month's mini quilt is a celebration of sweet peas! I love sweet peas, especially their beautiful scent. I grow them each year from seed and mine are getting tall now, so not long before they flower. The sweet pea mini quilt is a lovely one because the shapes are quite big so it is quick to stitch together. The applique is simple this month so the whole thing comes together nicely. You can find the pattern and video tutorials in my pattern shop, or if you become a member of the Jewel Flower tier over on Patreon, you can get access to the pattern and tutorials along with the other benefits of being a member of Patreon. There is also a hexiform pack available on my website so that helps to make up the block even quicker and gives it a lovely, squishy texture. |

This week I released a really fun video over on Youtube showing you how to use quilt blocks to make a quilt as you go project bag. I love the bag I made, it's so soft and perfect for housing a small crochet or knitting project. If you'd like to make one too, check out my channel to see the video. |

I've had a restock of the Pony Certain Stitch needles in my shop. They are the needles that have a mark on them to indicate your stitch length and I find they really help to keep my stitches consistent when I am hand quilting. There are also lots of lovely Liberty tana lawn charm packs in my shop too, each contains 20 different prints and are perfect for small projects. |

I might pop back into your inbox later this month, as I am working on a project that I am not able to tell you about yet, but I am sure you'll be interested in it. So as soon as I am given the go ahead, I will be back to share news of that with you. Thank you ever so much for your support and I hope you have a great month ahead. See you soon, Emma |
