My daughter and son’s girlfriend want to sew but find a quilt to be daunting. So I came up with 12 quick and easy sewing projects to appeal to the beginner sewist. Giving them a way to succeed with out feeling overwhelmed. Using the blocks in my Summer Nights Sampler quilt you can easily create beautiful items for your home and lifestyle. 
Why beginners love this:
First there are minimal fabric requirements. Next there is not a big time commitment to get to completion. Finally they are a great way to practice basic skills.
Why shops love this:
These projects make for a quick make and take class. Next they appeal to new and younger customers, while enabling experienced quilters a quick way to whip up homemade gifts. Finally the 12 projects can be spaced over the year to keep customers coming back. When you become an Aunt Em’s Shop, you’ll receive a packet of full color patterns, instructions on how to kit the project, (no need to buy packaging for the kit. It will fit in the pattern packaging.) and social media content to promote the project. Get details here.
