Sew Out Loud Quilt Along - Press On!

Today it is my turn to share my block design for Sew Out Loud!!
My block is called 'Press on!' and is all about the trusty old iron. I quite enjoy ironing as part of the sewing process but when it comes to ironing the laundry it is one of my least favourite chores. Funny how that works, I wonder if I had an iron like this it would change the way I feel ;)


 I have included templates for freezer paper piecing or foundation paper piecing. You can download the pattern here

I really enjoy being part of this sew along and seeing all the wonderful blocks you all have been making! You can add your blocks to our Flickr group here
And don't forget there will be a block design contest soon with some fab prizes, so get those thinking caps on ladies.
I am excited to see what you all will come up with!!

Sew Out Loud

Have you been wanting to have a go at paper piecing but not knowing where to start? Wonder where others find those pretty text fabrics? You may want to join Sew Out Loud {quilters wordplay} Quilt Along.
Sew Out Loud is all about sewing and text, with a fair dose of paper piecing thrown into the mix sounds good right?! 

Eleven of my favourite bloggers have come together to design a block each, I just consider myself lucky to be one of them. The 12th block will be designed by one of you. There are lots of fantastic prizes to be won and our winner will be chosen by a very special guest judge....I am bursting to tell you who it is but alas I can not ;)

Fat Quarter Shop has very generously agreed to be our sponsor and has sent each of us designers a lovely stack of fabrics to use in our blocks.

Are you excited yet? I really hope you will join us, it is going to be so much fun!
Now, head on over to Julianna's and Kirie's blogs for the full QAL schedule, details on the contest and to enter the kick off Give Away!
