'Sweet Something' Quilt Along Week Nine

Week Nine - December 27

I hope that this finds you having enjoyed a lovely festive season with your nearest & dearest. We are in recovery mode here - after a family wedding, my son's University graduation ceremony, & hosting Christmas, all within a two week period, we're enjoying the afterglow of happy times & reconnecting with family, as well as a refrigerator full of leftovers! My mind has turned to the new year & I'm full of ideas for These Clever Hands, which will include hosting a block swap for an upcoming quilt pattern release. Watch this space.

I'll keep it short & sweet given that this is a recap of last week's 'Sweet Something' blog. This week is again somewhat optional. It is up to you as to when, or even if, you'd like to be working on your Scrappy Borders across the three weeks, including last. Essentially, I had allowed two weeks to make these borders, plus one week off. However, you might like to sew a little each week, or a lot in just one week. Remember, your quilt, your rules.

This week's Instagram homework:

1. search our hashtag (#sweetsomethingquilt), then like & comment on each other's posts; take a look at what everyone else is making

2. anytime over the three weeks (December 20 - January 9), I'd love to see a picture of your Scrappy Borders being made

This week's 'Sweet Something' target: is entirely optional. Over the three weeks (December 20 - January 9), we will be working on our Scrappy Borders sewing. Just enjoy some sewing when you feel the need to be back at your sewing machine. No pressure, no should's, just some sweet making amongst your seasonal plans.

From These Clever Hands, to Yours...
