Happy Heartfelt Friday!! ❤️❤️❤️⠀ To Happy Heartfelt Friday!! ❤️❤️❤️⠀ Today, on my blog, I'm sharing block #3, Darling, of the Heartfelt Charity Quilt Along ✂️ from @fatquartershop, as well as a little story about my very "heartfelt" ❤️ quilt made with Grandma, who started me on this life-long, crazy, happy path to quilting! ​​​​​​​​ Stop by my blog for a read, and be sure to visit https://blog.fatquartershop.com/2022-heartfelt-quilt-along/ for all the details about the quilt along AND stitch along!​ ​​​​​​​​ #FatQuarterShop #Quilt #Quilting #Fabric #QuiltingFabric #ShowMeTheModa #ModaFabrics #MadeWithModa #HeartfeltQAL #HeartfeltQuilt #CharityQuilt #QAL
Happy Friday, everyone! Today is block release #2, Happy Friday, everyone! Today is block release #2, Buttercup, of the Heartfelt Charity Quilt Along from @fatquartershop. You can get all the information and download the pattern at https://blog.fatquartershop.com/2022-heartfelt-quilt-along/.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ In Kansas, we don't have any buttercups blooming yet, but small green shoots are already sprouting up. Yesterday, it was nearly 80 degrees here. Mind you, I believe the forecast for Monday is snow. I don't really mind, though, because the cold weather makes staying in the sewing room that much more cozy and enjoyable!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ In the meantime, these Buttercup Blocks are just as bright and cheery as a fresh bouquet of flowers, so I'll enjoy them.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #FatQuarterShop #Quilt #Quilting #Fabric #QuiltingFabric #ShowMeTheModa #ModaFabrics #MadeWithModa #HeartfeltQAL #HeartfeltQuilt #CharityQuilt #QAL
Today launched the 9th Annual Charity Quilt Along Today launched the 9th Annual Charity Quilt Along from @fatquartershop, and the first block release, Beloved, is now available. Folks, every year I say they can't make a prettier quilt than the last, and they prove me wrong every time. If this is your first time hearing about the Charity QAL, a few details: ~ the goal is $100,000 in donations towards Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas ~ each donation gets us closer to the goal of granting 10 (TEN!!!) wishes ~ for each milestone goal ($40,000, $60,000, $80,000, and $100,000), FQS will celebrate by releasing extra finishing patterns you can use to finish your blocks and post it on the Heartfelt Quilt Along page. And guess what? The first milestone, $40,000, has already been reached! FQS has an adorable table runner pattern available that uses these gorgeous Beloved blocks. There's so much more to know, so head to @fatquartershop to get the links for the quilt along as well as the Heartfelt Stitch Along. I've got my needles threaded and stitching away, so more to share on that soon. #FatQuarterShop #Quilt #Quilting #Fabric #QuiltingFabric #ShowMeTheModa #ModaFabrics #MadeWithModa #HeartfeltQAL #HeartfeltQuilt #CharityQuilt #QAL

It's Jolly Bar Monday, a fun quilt along from @fat It's Jolly Bar Monday, a fun quilt along from @fatquartershop, featuring their newest Jolly Bar Book, Volume 3. Today, we're on to Block 3, Springtime Bliss. I feel like that's a perfect name, looking at these springy fabrics.⠀🌼🌷⠀Did I mention I'm using Sophie by Brenda Riddle for Moda Fabrics?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are three more releases after this one, so technically we're not even halfway, as we will have the top assembly and the backing to make, as well. I'm saying this because I know there are plenty of folks that feel like if they didn't start on day one with block one, it's too late. No way! Jump in there and join us! ✂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Show some love and visit the other bloggers in the Jolly Bar QAL!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @gina_tell_threadgraffiti⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @thesmittenchicken⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @Sew_Sweet_SeeBee⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @intheboondocks⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @mona.phelps⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quilterpatsloan⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @elmstreetquilts⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #quilt #quilting #craft #fabric #fabrics #quiltsofinstagram #fatquartershop #thejollyjabber #fqsfun #JollyBar3QAL #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove
Here's my Release 3 of the Serendipity Quilt! ✂️ This was my first time doing a courthouse steps block (center of the star), believe it or not. I started a log cabin quilt years ago - emphasis on years because I stopped after one block. Maybe two. It's been so long ago, I'm not sure. It's somewhere, in a box, probably in another box, of UFOs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If I had been using foundation papers from @fatquartershop, I think I may have finished it. I've done some paper piecing over the years, but this time I thought, "I'm doing it exactly like they do at the Fat Quarter Shop." I bought the same glue stick (fell in love with this thing) and all the tools, watched Kimberly on her YouTube 🖥️ videos showing how to use the foundation papers and.....it was a game changer! If you're not watching those, it's definitely worth your time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Fat Quarter Shop's 8th annual charity quilt along, benefiting Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas. 🧵 There are lots of us quilting along on our blogs, so drop by. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤️❤️❤️❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @livingwaterquilter ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @thesmittenchicken⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @dougleko⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @corianderquilts⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quilterpatsloan⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @modalissa⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @abitofscrapstuff⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quiltjane⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @sondradavison⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @happyquiltingmelissa⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤️❤️❤️❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SerendipityQAL #fatquartershop #modafabrics #showmethemoda #quilt #quilter #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #quiltersgonnaquilt #coreyyoder #corianderquilts #springbrookfabrics #fqsfun⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coreyyoderfabric⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #serendipity #springbrook #beefabric #springbrookfabric #makeawishcentralandsouthtexas #bumblebeefabric #charityquilt #quiltalong2021 #foundationpaper #quiltingismytherapy

It makes me happy looking at these cheery, little abodes! 🏡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I purposely went for a "suburban" feel to my houses. You know, when you're driving through a neighborhood with a bunch of beautiful homes, then you notice they all look quite a bit alike??? 🏘️ Similar roofs, same siding, same architecture. I'm not knocking it. There are plenty of neighborhoods I'd love to live in and "look like" everyone else. :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be sure to visit the other bloggers in the Jolly Bar QAL!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @gina_tell_threadgraffiti⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @thesmittenchicken⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @Sew_Sweet_SeeBee⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @intheboondocks⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @mona.phelps⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @quilterpatsloan⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @elmstreetquilts⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #quilt #quilting #craft #fabric #fabrics #quiltsofinstagram #fatquartershop #thejollyjabber #fqsfun #JollyBar3QAL

Happy Monday! ☀️ The sun is shining and I'm re Happy Monday! ☀️ The sun is shining and I'm ready to share my @fatquartershop Bloomtopia Quilt Along Richmond Block. ✂️ This is release #10 and the final block!! I can't believe we're ready to start assembling and finishing next. The Richmond Block is a simple construction of 4-patch and half square triangle units. I fudged a little on the pattern (as usual) and chose to do some strip-piecing, cutting and assembly for my 4-patch blocks. I show how I did that on my blog, so check it out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outofthebluequilts #bloomtopiaquiltalong #bloomtopia #fqscharityqal #fqscharityquiltalong #fqscharity #fqsfun #quiltalong #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram

The Carolina Lily Quilt Along is live @fatquarters The Carolina Lily Quilt Along is live @fatquartershop Jolly Jabber blog where they are featuring this free downloadable block, as well as an entire quilt kit, featuring the new At Home fabrics by Bonnie & Camille for Moda.❤️ I'm just one of several bloggers "quilting along," and I changed things up a bit from the original block. I'm using #vintagehappy2fabric by Lori Holt for Riley Blake fabrics. I replaced bias trim stems with some super-fast rick rack ones instead. Stop by to read my tips and to learn more about the quilt kit and pattern (with four size options) and free block pattern!😃 #carolinalilyquilt #thejollyjabber #freequiltpattern #classicandvintageseries #flowerquilt #flowerquiltblock #rickrack #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqsquiltalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #beeinmybonnet #vintagehappy2 #rileyblakedesigns
Have you been quilting along with the @fatquarters Have you been quilting along with the @fatquartershop Bloom-Topia quilt? Did you know they have PASSED their original $30,000 goal for Make A Wish AND released all the bonus patterns? So many good things going on! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More good stuff is the road trip that the orignal Bloom-Topia quilt made, visiting the bloggers in this quilt along. "Bloom" made a stop by my house, too, and I wrote a bit about that on the blog today if you want to check it out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @fatquartershop for including me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outofthebluequilts #bloomtopiaquiltalong #bloomtopia #fqscharityqal #fqscharityquiltalong #fqscharity #fqsfun #quiltalong #makeawishfoundation

It's cold in Kansas today, and we even had some big snowflakes ❄️❄️❄️ earlier! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐱 {These Broken Di7she (this typo is courtesy of the cat suddenly walking across the keyboard. Let's try again...} 🐱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I was saying, these Broken Dishes quilt blocks will warm your heart, snow or no snow! This is one of the many blocks @fatquartershop has in its Classic & Vintage quilt block series. I wrote in detail about it on my blog today, if you want to drop by for a read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of one block, I used the @mellysews Blooms and Bobbins fat quarter bundle included in the July Sew Sampler box, stacking all six fat quarters and cutting my blocks at once. Even though I only made six blocks for a future baby quilt, there is enough print fabric left from my fat quarters to make another six blocks, so I plan to make two baby quilts! 👶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be sure to check out #fqsquiltalong, #brokendishesquilt, and #classicandvintage to see everyone quilting along. ✂️✂️ #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #bloomsandbobbins #rileyblakefabrics #rileyblakedesigns #sew #sewing #handmade #sewingproject #sewalong #mellysews #sewsamplerbox

Precious, the cat, seems to think this is the only spot where she should be...and she's sitting on my next block. #spoiled #catsofinstagram #catsandquilts
