Coming this Week

Stay tuned tomorrow for the August Block of the Month on both the blog and YouTube channel. This is one of my favorite blocks to date (I probably say that every month, but this one really is a cute one). Then on Thursday we'll have the next row in our Harbor sew along. There will be just one more row to go plus finishing on that one. I'll also have a new Moda Blockheads block and more thoughts on end of summer sewing and preparing for the busy season ahead.
