Folk Modern Table Runner Sew-Along

Look! I’m doing a Sew-Along over on Kollabora, a new community site for crafting and sewing.

Each Monday for the next three weeks, I’ll give instructions for making my Folk Modern table runner. At the end of the sew-along, you can upload your photos to Kollabora. I’ll choose three winners to receive a copy of 1, 2, 3 Sew! I really look forward to seeing what kinds of fabric and color combinations people use for this project, so I hope you’ll join in! You could also take the basic block and make a full quilt.

This week I gave a supply list and cutting instructions, then we’ll make the block next week. So be sure to check back each Monday for more instructions. I hope you’ll join in on the sew-along!

Plus, you can follow me on Pinterest to see all of the things I’m liking these days. I try to pin regularly, but also have to resist the time drain that can happen when I head over there. I also usually tweet lots of crafty links too.

This summer I seem to do more pinning and tweeting than actually making things. I’m just waiting for inspiration. I’ve started re-reading The Artist’s Way and have begun writing morning pages. I’m pretty skeptical at the moment, but willing to try. These days it feels like what I am doing is just scratching the surface.
