What is a Sew Along?
A 'sew along' means that we all sew this project, each week on our own time and in the comfort of our own homes.
It is all about creating a beautiful project, week by week for 12 weeks, and sharing your progress virtually on our
Facebook Group called 'Let's Be Friends Sew Along'.

What are we sewing?
This year it is all about the QUILT BLOCK!
Years ago I designed a beautiful quilt called 'Stars in the Valley'.
A very striking quilt completed in red and white.
These quilt blocks are 18" finished size, and lovely to make
BUT
I have always wanted to reproduce it but make it half the size.
Yup! That would be 9" finished size blocks and I am so excited about this project!
You, as the quilter will have a choice what size you wish to sew.
Do you want to make the original?
The Original Block size (18" fin. size) - which is available as a pattern.
Quilt size: 96" x 96"
OR
Do you want to make the half size block?
The Half Size Block size (9" fin. size) - These instructions for this will be provided on Week 1 July 7th.
The half size quilt includes a plain border - not a pieced border like the original.
Quilt size: Lap Size 63" x 76" or Double Size: 88" x 88".
