It’s my birthday this weekend, so I’m looking forward to breakfast at Eastern Market, hanging out at the Corcoran, and some pool time. Before the fun starts (well, really continues), I wanted to pop in to share fun information about the 100 Quilts for Kids blog hop, which will run every Monday in July, August, and September. I’ve invited some of my favorite quilters to participate, so make sure to stop by Lynne at Lily’s Quilts on Monday!
I have also been working to line up a few main 100 Quilts sponsors and have been planning the 100 Quilts Quilt Along quilt. The first quilt along post will be live July 15, and I’m using Stitch Organic by Betz White (photo on the left). My husband came up with the design for the quilt, inspired by a favorite piece at the Hirshhorn Museum in DC. I think you are going to love it.
