Announcing the Great Granny Sew Along

Are you ready for more Bee in my Bonnet Sew Along Fun? To celebrate the release of Lori Holt’s new book, Great Granny Squared, we teamed up with Lori of Bee in My Bonnet to plan an exceptionally adorable blog tour and sew along. Want to join in?

Lori’s version of the Mama’s Crochet Quilt

For the Great Granny Sew Along, Lori designed the Mama’s Crochet Quilt Pattern using some of the blocks in Great Granny Squared. Starting on April 21st, we will start sewing this quilt one block at a time. We are teaming up with some of your favorite bloggers and will be giving away plenty of prizes along the way. We even designed two different finishing patterns for the quilt. You can sew Lori’s Version or Kimberly’s Version of the Mama’s Crochet Quilt! We love both versions equally:)
