In case you missed it, here's some of the exciting things that happened at Sew A Story in March of 2024!
It Takes a Village Fabric
I announced my next fabric collection -- It Takes a Village with Riley Blake Designs. "It takes a village to raise a child" is an African proverb that conveys the idea that an entire community of people must work together to provide for and positively influence children, so they can grow in a safe and healthy environment.
This fabric collection was designed to uplift some of the amazing people that make up the wonderful communities we share, including medical professionals, firefighters, and police officers. It truly does take a village!
It Takes a Village is now showing to quilt shops. Be sure to let your favorite local quilt shops know that you would like them to order this line. The fabric will ship to shops in October 2024!
New Pattern
I released a cute stuffed apple pattern in March! An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Create your own stuffed fabric apple using fabric scraps and fun hand- or machine-stitching! I filmed a fun video tutorial for this project at the Riley Blake video studio!
Quilt Alongs
This month is very busy as I participate in many different quilt-alongs. I hosted a SAL for my Storybook Felt Panel (stores were selling out of this panel like crazy!). I'm also participating in the Riley Blake Block Challenge, the Fat Quarter Shop Quilted Witch, and the Fat Quarter Shop Millie's Dresses. It's so fun to use my fabrics to stitch along with others.
