Crossroads Sew Along: Wrap Up



Hi there! Welcome back to The Whimsical Workshop blog. We spent all of May hard at work with all of our fellow Sew-Along members, wrapping up the beautiful Crossroads quilt that made up our first sew-along.

When we decided to launch our first sew-along, I'll be honest in that I wasn't entirely sure how it would go. Would people want to join? Would we be able to complete this successfully over Facebook live videos and downloadable patterns?

Thankfully we have some of the best (and most talented!) followers and group members in the quilting industry and wow, did you all create some truly great projects! This was a learning curve for us all and I'm so grateful that you took this journey alongside me.

 If you missed this class - it's ok! We've just started another sew-along, this time for our Dutch Wonderland quilt. It's a stunning 100 x 100 project, made up of 8 blocks. We go live in our Facebook group, Heidi's Quilting Help Desk, every Wednesday 10:00am PTYouTube Channel the following Monday. This way, you'll never miss a part of the class and can follow along at your own pace.

To celebrate the end of this Crossroads project, I want to share some of our student's work from this class here with all of you.

Are you interested in setting up a private class or lecture for your guild/group? Due to the current state of the world, all classes are being held over Zoom, but I can promise you that it will be as engaging, fun and educational as always!
