Last month Sketchbook, my second fabric collection with Art Gallery Fabrics, became available. It's so exciting for me to see all the lovely clothing and accessories being created with my prints! Show me more--be sure to tag your items with #Sketchbookfabrics when you post on social media so I can see and share your work.

To keep the sharing going, next week I will be hosting a Sketchbook Blog Tour. Five talented makers have been sewing beautiful items to post on their blogs as part of the tour. From my blog, I'll be posting two new free projects along with a tutorial on how to sew French seams. It's gonna be a sewing-packed week you'll not want to miss!
