Hello dear friends,
How are you keeping? I hope that you are managing through the unprecedented times in which we live. I won’t even mention the “C” word here, but I’m sure you are being affected by it in some way, shape or form. In times, like these, I want to retreat to sewing. I find it offers me a moment of comfort and stability in a world of instability and change.
If you are looking for a new project to distract you in these times, consider the 2020 Summer Sampler.
I am thrilled to be a designer in this year’s quilt along. As you can see from the photo below, I’m in very good company! 
Here are this year’s designers, from the top left:

The theme of the quilt along is “Easier than it looks.” Each week features one of 16 blocks that look more complex than they really are.
Of course, I had to make my block in pink and orange.
The quilt-along runs from June 1 to September 21. If you use the code MAMALOVEQUILTS, you can save $5 from now until May 31st.
