When Jemima reached out to us to ask if we wanted to sponsor her upcoming Aurora Quilt Sew-Along, we got pretty excited, because we’re basically fan-girls of her IG account. (Make sure to follower her @tiedwitharibbon!)
Since the sew-along runs from June 4th thru July 24th, we wanted to share with you some of the details of the sew-along, as well as a cool deal we’re offering in partnership with Tied With A Ribbon.
ABOUT The Aurora Quilt in Jemima’s words:
“Earlier this year I designed this quilt to share my love for Half Square Triangle s and as a way to explore and show of fabrics, prints and colours in a quilt. The Aurora Quilt Pattern comes in Two Quilt size options – Lap – 64.5in x 65.5in (164cm x 164cm) and Queen – 80.5in x 80.5in (205cm x 205cm) as well as a Pillow size 16.5in x 16.5in (42cm x 42cm).The Sew Along will be 8 weeks long which gives you plenty of time to work through the quilt without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. I will be hosting it over on Instagram using the #auroraquiltsewalong and #auroraquilt hash tags. There will be prizes from some fantastic sponsors, newsletters with information about each week along with tips and helpful tricks to make your #auroraquilt.”
