In 2023, each month Sewlovelee will issue a new challenge to expand your sewing skills and help you keep it fresh. |
January Challenge:
Clean and organize sewing area, itemize UFOs, and get stuff done!
American Patchwork & Quilting has you covered when it comes to your UFOs. Their 2023 UFO Challenge will get your UFOs organized, provide a way to finish them, and offer quilty support in a private FB group.

 Speaking of challenges...
Lee stitched up sample using scraps from Just Beachy (the quilt included in Quilt Sampler Spring/Summer 2022 edition https://www.sewlovelee.com/.../Quilt-Sample-SpringSummer... and featuring two of our crab batiks, designed by us and exclusive to the shop). This pattern is perfect for any charm packs you have in your stash or scraps you've accumulated!
