Come on this adventure with me through fields of fabric and let's hike through a mountain of scraps. I am sew thankful to have you with me on this journey!

Let's unveil more of this mystery together!

Today we have a gorgeous mountain hike to take.

Below is all the information you need to prepare and cut your fabric for this week.

I will be using the Mountain Purple, Meadow Green, and Black Granite Rolls

and the Mystery Background Bundle.

But do not worry if you are not using these bundles,

I would love to still inspire you every week.
