This is my first Sew-Along, and I am excited to add another dimension to my quilting experience. Ever since I saw the redwork quilt (see below) in American Patchwork & Quilting August 2004 issue (I saved the issue!), I have had in the back of my mind that "someday" I would add embroidery to my quilts.
Peekaboo Redwork Quilt
I saw on Christina's blog that Martina at Sunshine Quilting is hosting a Sew-Along based on the book Patchwork Loves Embroidery by Australian author Gail Pan. Although I didn't own the book, I already loved it and wanted to participate, so I purchased the Kindle version.
The SAL starts September 1 and continues until the end of October. You can make as many projects as you like and link up your blog post on Martina's blog.
Cinnamon Delights Bag
I have chosen the Cinnamon Delights Bag as my first project, using the materials in the first picture above. I hope to fill it with cinnamon chunks from Penzey's and give it to my church to sell at our Fall Market in October.
Join us - it's a chance to meet new bloggers who share your passion (addiction?)

DeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun with the Sew Along! I've got a question about the Kindle copy of the book. Is it possible to print out the patterns?
Best regards! :)

Christiane, yes there is a link in the Kindle version that takes you to the online downloads page, and you can print them all out!
