Sue Daley’s Round We Go Sew-along Starts Friday

A highlight reel of what's going on in my life and a collection of useful links and information for the creatives amongst us - Angie Wilson at www.gnomeangel.com

Sue Daley’s Round We Go Sew-along kicks off this Friday. Yep, can you believe it it’s the 1st of September already! I’m struggling to keep the dates straight in my head at the moment it all seems to be whizzing past at the speed of light. I know I’m not the only one having trouble keeping up so this post is for those of you, like me, who sometimes need a reminder that something awesome is about to happen. If you’ve been on the fence about participating in the Round We Go event now is the time to jump off the fence and come join in the fun.

The event is super simple: each month make and post to Instagram one of your Round We Go blocks for the month. (You can find the event order by clicking here.) Each month there will be one sponsor who’ll provide a $50 gift certificate or prize. All you have to do is post the blocks on the correct dates to go in the running. Simple!

Because I love you all and I hate to think of anyone missing out I’m going to be a little more relaxed with the rules for the first month (to give you time to get your supplies in order). I’ll go into all the details about how you can participate, what you need to do to win and all the nitty gritty on Friday. But in the meantime why not check out this handy list of event sponsors and their unique options for getting your supplies. 

Where to Get Your Supplies

We are kitting two separate versions of the new Sue Daley Round We Go quilt, as a Block-of-the-Month style sew along in tandem with Angie of Gnome Angel. The first kit features the brand-new Spirit Animal collection by Tula Pink, and will ship the first week of September. The alternate color way is a gorgeous rainbow of Alison Glass Sun Print 2016 that really pop on a low volume background. Each kit contains all you need to complete the quilt top, including the Sue Daley pattern, acrylic templates and paper pieces. The BOM will run from September 2017 through September 2018. If you’d like to add in your own spin on fabric, we are also offering the patterns and templates as a standalone kit (Both as a BOM over 6 months and a single-ship item).
