Who's Ready for Summer Sewing Fun?
Join us for the Summer Block Party 2025
The Summer Block Party is back, and I am so excited to be sewing along again this year. Starting June 23, join me and seven wonderful designer friends as we share free, summer-inspired quilt blocks delivered straight to your inbox.
Each block is designed to be fun, approachable, and perfect for a little bit of sewing time each day. You’ll receive patterns for 9 quilt blocks, plus finishing instructions and bonus projects to inspire different ways to use your blocks. This is a community event designed to keep you sewing and smiling all season long.
What You’ll Get When You Sign Up
- 9 summer-themed quilt blocks
- A quilt layout and finishing instructions
- Bonus projects from each designer
- All patterns delivered by email only during June and July
You’ll get one email each day starting June 23. Each message will include that day’s block and links to the previous blocks, so you can jump in anytime and catch up easily.
Blocks will remain free through the end of July.
A Sneak Peek at My Block
This year, I’m sharing the Turtle Wave Block, inspired by one of my favorite symbols of summer. Made with simple piecing and a touch of whimsy, this block is a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the process. I can't wait to share more when the event begins.
