Good morning! I wanted to take a second to let you know about a very informal quilt-along that I am hosting on Instagram starting next week!

As I said, this is going to be very informal. There won't be any sign-ups, weekly blog posts or weekly emails. Just follow along with me on Instagram @gigis_thimble. I'll be posting…

If Molly has her way, these red chip blocks will fall to floor and become part of Buddy's playground. If I get my way, I'll link up with the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge before its tomorrow or a week or two have gone by.
