Hello, May! This Month's $5 Pattern + More!

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

​

Hello Reader,

Happy May! I hope you're having lovely spring (or fall if you're in the southern hemisphere) weather. This is really such a beautiful time of the year where I live in the desert southwest.

And it's been quite a busy week in my sewing room over the last few days as I'm trying to get kits ready for two upcoming retreats I'm teaching at during the latter part of this month. I've been cutting fabrics day and night and doing a bit of cleaning and organizing in my sewing room as well. We've also shared quite a bit on both the blog and our YouTube channel this week, so keep reading for all of those details.

This Week on the Blog and our YouTube Channel

Below you'll find links to the posts and videos from earlier this week. We went ahead and shared the May Block of the Month early, too! (The Harbor Sew Along post that was originally scheduled for last Thursday will be available tomorrow).

$5 Quilt Pattern for May

This month my Happy Go Lucky 2 pattern is on sale in paper and PDF for $5. If you don't have this already, this one is a must-have and must-make. Happy Go Lucky 2 is beginner friendly, fat quarter friendly, and finishes at 75 1/2" x 88 1/2". This one is also an amazing stash buster quilt and is perfect to use with any fabrics. Plus, use orphan blocks instead of the squares inside of the churn dash units, and you can make a quilt as unique as you!

​

Coming Soon

Stay tuned for the next video tutorial for the Harbor Row Quilt Sew Along coming tomorrow. And if you are wanting to join in, there is still plenty of time--I've got all of the details on tomorrow's blog post.
