After the Rain: Prizes

This post is part of the After the Rain Sew-Along! See all posts.

Next week we actually start sewing the After the Rain quilt. Are you ready? I am! We’ve considered about what the quilt means to us and who it might be for. We’ve thoughtfully chosen colors and exciting fabrics. Let the stitching soon begin!

Today I’m sharing the prizes gifted by The Confident Stitch to make our sew-along extra fun. Each week I’ll be giving away a little something special over on Instagram. To be eligible you simply need to:

See, that’s easy! You can sew at your own pace and in your own order. Think of the sew-along schedule as just a suggestion for those of you who like a bit of structure (like me, haha!). Simply post one progress picture on Instagram each week. Multiple photos = multiple chances to win!

The winner will be chosen at random and announced via my Instagram feed.

A big thanks to The Confident Stitch for graciously sponsoring the After the Rain sew along! It looks like they still have a few quilt kits for my Ombre Efflorescent fabric choices. Once they’re gone, that’s it.
