Spreading quilty joy one stitch at a time!

30 Days of Improv Quilt Along for End-of-Summer Fun

July 24, 2021 by Shannon

Art Gallery Fabrics PURE Solids I've pulled together for my 30 Days of Improv quilt along quilt - join the free quilt along and tune into your creativity | Shannon Fraser Designs #30daysofimprovqal #quilting #fabric

Did you hear?

You’re invited to some end-of-summer improv fun!

My quilty friend Amanda (aka @broadclothstudio) and I were chatting, and we got to talking about stitching together.

Nothing too serious.

Nothing too entailed.

Just let loose and have some fun stitching on the daily. You know, some ‘me-sewing’.

We both have a love for improv and since I know you’ve been wanting to explore that technique more, we thought why not invite YOU to join in the improv quilty shenanigans 😊 After all, sharing is caring!
