Going on a Picnic Project Page

Important Details

Due to breaking both my wrists June 20, 2020 the sew along is moved to July 8. And the blocks are 12 inch blocks not 15 inch block I have not had a chance to update the supply list so please ignore that part

Note: See this video https://youtu.be/XcDLBB6_rvI

I love how it turned out!

We are ‘Going on a Picnic’ … It’s time for an Easy Breezy Summer Sew along!

The blocks are a mystery until I publish them. Find the details, Supply List, Fabrics thoughts, and a link to each block when it is published are all below.

Details

RUNS: July 8, 2020 for 12 weeks
Blocks: One new block a week. Finished size 12″ finished
SIZE: Lap size
TIMING – Wednesday around 7:30am EST. Email notice goes out noon-ish in my time zone, EST. The email is NEVER when the block is published.
Technique – All Easy Pieced. Each block will be named and a story/memory about a Picnic item. Could be a recipe, could be a location.. I’ll mix up the topics each week to keep it fun!
- NOTE: The Block does NOT LOOK like the topic of the week. This is not a pictorial quilt. I do a topic as it is way more fun than just plopping out a block. I love the memories and sometimes research that goes into the topic. That keeps my Sew alongs fun and unique.

*** The Fabric ***

I’m going to let you pick a Fat Quarter (FQ) bundle that you love! Right now fabric is moving out of store at the speed of Light. Also to keep employees safe during this Coronavirus world wide Pandemic, less people are working at one time in the warehouses, so the supplies are shipping slowly to shops and out of shops to us.

That means we’ll keep it simple. I have suggestions above. I will be using Goldenrod.

This is a working bundle you will not use all of it. Also in my box I will use the background in each block but you don’t have to do that for yours

*** Background on my Block Wednesday series ***

I design, write, create, and sew along with you USING a Bundle of Fabric
My Wednesday sew alongs are a mystery filled with SIMPLE and FUN blocks.
There is a theme and each week the block name is something related to the theme.
The block does not LOOK like what I’m talking about.
I make the block each week using the bundle, I don’t know in advance what fabric goes where. My Free Wed sew alongs are not planned out in advance, I do them to be creative and have fun! You can see all the prior ones HERE
