Free Sew Along

I invite you to join me for a free 30 day sew along.  This sew along will consist of one block and 30 different colors/colours.  Each block is 8".  Today's color/colour is Aqua.  I am pairing each color/colour with white.  I am using Snow by Kona.  Each block consists of a 6 1/2" square of the color/colour of the day.  One strip 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" which is sewn to the 6 1/2" square (press your 1/4" seam toward the aqua).  Next, sew an 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" strip to  your pieced section using a 1/4" seam.  Press toward the aqua block.

Aqua: Experience peace and calm.

What do you feel when you see the color/colour aqua?  What memory does it evoke for you?  Please share your answers as I would love to hear from you!

For me, when I see aqua I feel clam, like a still body of water.  The memory it evokes for me is the color/colour of the Caribbean Sea as my husband and I were about to land on St. Martin Island for our honeymoon.  For me, it is a color/colour of freshness, new beginnings, feeling anew and cleansed.

If there is enough interest in this Sew Along, I would love to add another 30 days of stitching/embellishing our feelings into each block.  Please let me know in the comment section if that would be of interest for you.

Drop in tomorrow for the next color/colour of the day.
