Caution … photo overload ahead! In August of last year, I ran across an Instagram post by Angie of Gnome Angel where she shared an upcoming challenge. It seemed pretty straight-forward, if a bit overwhelming. Participants would simply sew one 6″ quilt block each day for 100 days.
My friend, Erin Hentzel, just released her second book – Doll Days! Sew an Everyday Wardrobe for 18″ Dolls. You might remember that my daughter, Samantha, and I joined in on the tour for Erin’s first book, Sew in Style, almost two years ago, and I’m really excited to join in the fun again!
