Featured Panels
Sew Journal by J Wecker Frisch
Sew Journal is the latest sewing collection by J Wecker Frisch for Riley Blake. It arrived between newsletters so it's high time to feature it! Sew Journal is a lovely blend of vintage sewing motifs, and typewriter prints with the usual panels in several sizes. The Journal panel and book covers are perfect for adding stablizer and embellishing by hand or machine (use all your decorative stitches and fun threads!) to make your own personal junk journal. Use the postcards to make real postcards that you can mail or gift to your sewing friends. We've put together a quick quilt kit featuring some of the collection.
