Carol Quilt Along - Housekeeping
Welcome to our Carol Quilt Along!
Come and spend some time quilting with me this spring -
a perfect project for this joyful season.
Let April (sewing) showers bring May flowers!
I am SEW excited for this quilt, named after my dearest mother-in-love.
For this Quilt Along, we will be using our new Lighthouse collection full of beautiful blues, rosy reds, and luscious lights.
It's time to start sewing our seeds!

Beginning Tuesday, May 27th, we will be making our blocks together.
