Why Sew with a community?

Hello! Hello!

I’m Ange.

And I’ll be your host & Cheerleader.

I started 100 Days 100 Blocks™️ in 2005 as a way for me to practice my patchwork skills with accountability. However, over the years it’s evolved into a global virtual event where others are also learning, improving and making friends. (I still need to accountability and practice!).
