Sew Along: Sewing North to Alaska by Featherweight (Getting Prepared)
February 25, 2021

by April Henry

COMING SOON, Thursday, March 25th!

In May of this year, we were scheduled to take a Featherweight Maintenance and Quilting Cruise with 40 other Featherweight friends from around the world to Alaska. However, as you all know, due to the government response to Covid, travel (and much of life in general) was canceled in 2020 and is continuing into 2021... and even 2022 for at least some of the cruising industry. So, we have disembarked, so-to-speak, and are continuing on in the spirit of Alaska anyway by starting an Alaska Sew Along!

Order an Alaska Quilt Kit in your color preference (Blue or Holiday) and join us!

Four of us from the shop have gathered an Alaska kit of our color choice, too, and are sewing blocks in tandem, helping each other along as we all stay on task - learning new skills and sharing piecing tips with one another. Edyta Sitar from Laundry Basket Quilts is our tutorial guide as she teaches through her video in her adorable Polish accent... she is truly a sweetheart with a soothing voice, encouraging us through some advanced quilting techniques.

And, BONUS! All the fabric pieces are pre-cut by laser - perfect and beautiful, adding a spark of new joy in our piecework. Pieces don't fray, they're uniform and we can sew right away!
