Olde Green Cupboard Designs is so happy to invite you to participate in the first Marcus Fabrics designer sew-along called.....
Friends & Companions
Many of the talented Marcus designers, (from around the country) are offering you an opportunity to make a truly unique quilt featuring nine original blocks designed just for this event.
We'll chat with you for ten consecutive Fridays, starting August 1st, where you'll get to see the blocks, and receive block instructions from each designer by visiting their blog. Did I mention we will have prizes too? Oh yes we will!!! No doubt some of our gorgeous Marcus fabrics will be given as prizes. Perhaps a surprise or two (original designs made by OGC) as well!
