Northcott Block Party Challenge
Peggy Urban purchased our first block sold yesterday and today, Northcott published our blocks on their Facebook page (which I shared on our FB page) and we got our first out-of-state order from Colorado! I am SEWWWWW excited about this.
We have them on our web site under Shop Online, Kits. They are $12 each. We also have the full line of competition fabric in house with more bolts coming. The Amy "edition" of the rules which we included in the kits is below.
