Monthly Make Challengers!

I hope you are enjoying the Discovery pattern! I’ve seen a few of these and they are so adorable! 🥰 Please message me or text at 270–5 51–2234 a photo if you’d like to share a peek and can’t add it in the comments!

You can bring in your finished Discovery quilt *top* – – no quilting necessary – – between June 22 and July 3.

If you didn’t make it for Show and Tell in June you may still bring in Macarons and purchase Discovery to stay in the challenge. 🎉

My most recent Betsy is mostly made from Lori Holt fabrics and she’s a cutie!
