Welcome to Week 4 of the Sew Much Fun Tour!
Each week a designer will be presenting a 6″ (6 1/2″ unfinished) block on the theme of sewing.
This week’s designer is Laura Strickland of

Last week’s block was from Laura of Slice of Pi Quilts
My thimble is yellow! I have this plastic yellow thimble in my sewing box and I don’t really know why. I must have inherited it.
It’s pretty cute. I’m thinking I will stitch straight lines down my thimble to secure the applique dots instead of stitching around them.
and week 1 was Kathryn at Dragonfly’s Quilting Design Studio
I was able to try again and successfully piece Block 2 which is paper pieced. I’m happy so far that I can use my scraps to make these blocks my own – what a great sew along should inspire!
The blocks will be free for the duration of the tour – 52 weeks – so you have time. BUT, if you see one you like, get it! Designers may ask you to sign up to a newsletter to receive their block. I encourage you to ~visit~ the blogs and check out the designers’ work. While blocks are free, designers do put in time and it’s great to receive feedback 😉
Next week’s designer is Maria of Limeleaves Design
then it’s Carolyn of Applique Quilts and More
The tour continues September 19th with Nancy of Patchwork Breeze
