Paper Lanterns Sew Along Week Twenty-Four

Wow we made it to the last block! I never knew what this quilt would mean to so many when we set out 25 weeks ago. I’ve received many messages of thanks for sharing this Sew Along with you in such a time and I really am so grateful for you all for joining me and keeping me sane through this incredibly strange time we’re all living through. Creating and making is an outlet for many of us and although lockdown has be tough for so many of you especially my friends in Victoria and other places around the world it has forced us to slow down and finish of some of those UFO we all have lying around as well as start new projects. Paper Lanterns came at a perfect time and it may look like it was planned but did any of us really know what was ahead of us back at the beginning of 2020? Even in the early stages we didn’t think that 7 months down the road some of us would still be restricted to the four walls of our home. So again I want to thank you all for continuing to support me and my team, we’ve been fortunate enough to stay afloat and keep our team employed.
