Are you ready for another day full of fun? quilting with friends? Some good music? special guests? cocktail & snack recipes? a brand spanking new pattern?
If you answered yes, then mark Saturday, June 26th on your calendar and plan to join us! We're going to be quilting up a storm. Here's what to do until then:
First, make sure you're signed up for the GE DESIGNS NEWSLETTER. That will be your first chance to purchase June. You can find the sign up at the bottom of any page on the website.
Secondly, keep watching Tipsy Tuesday and Happy Friday. As much as I like to keep things a secret from you, Mr. HP has a way of coaxing details and hints out of me.
That said, you can find your info sheet and fabric requirements here. You'll have to wait for more details. Patience is a virtue, yes? While you're waiting, you can decide which layout you like best.
I hope you'll share this info with your quilting friends. It would be great to beat our Hope & Elvira Quilt Along participation numbers from 2020. 2021 has to be better than 2020 right?!

Category 3: Similar value Prints/Colors
For a less scrappy or a more controlled look, select fabrics and colors that are similar in value, add your second color and a background. My June blocks in the Abandoned 2 fabric, paired with Scribble Light and Scribble Dark are representative of this group. The following Stash Builders fall into this group:
