The Celebrate Quilt: Block 1 Tutorial from Patchwork Sampler Blog

Since releasing the pattern for Block 1 of The Celebrate Quilt block of the month last week, I decided it might be helpful to create a tutorial of the block construction. First, grab a copy of the pattern from the Free Resource Library. Make sure you have the updated version (I made a couple of minor corrections). If you don’t have the password to the resource library, sign up on the home page and it will be sent to you right away.

Okay, here are step-by-step instructions with photos of the block I made.

Following the pattern instructions, cut ...

New Projects for 2023 from twiddletails

I signed up for a couple of BOMs this year, actually in 2022. I also may have started a couple of other new projects...

This is how I circumvented my self-imposed rule of not starting any new projects in 2023. Clever right?

The first one is "The Secret Garden" by Sarah Fielke.

The colors and fabrics I chose are completely out of my comfort zone, but I love it!

I also actually purchased some fabric for this project, which I haven't done in YEARS!

Next up is The Quilt Show's 2023 BOM, called Homeward Bound. This was also ...

Introduction to The Celebrate Quilt from Patchwork Sampler Blog

The Celebrate chunk of the month quilt

If you are on my email list you got the first look at The Celebrate Quilt in Saturday’s newsletter. This is a free 12-month program, but instead of making a block every month, we will make a “chunk” of the quilt. Each month, there will be a 12-inch block and some small filler blocks. When all the chunks are complete, they will fit together like a puzzle to make a 54″ x 66″ quilt. If you want a larger quilt, you can add borders or make extra blocks some months. I will ...

December's One Monthly Goal from Sew........This Is My Blog

In January I started the Block of the Month hosted by Sherri McConnell at A Quilting Life. My friend, Denise, is always finding projects to talk me into, and I usually go along with her. I'm always glad, though, so that must be a good thing. The last BOM I made with her, went to my SIL, Jan, and she loved it. I did, too! (You can read about it here.)

This time I decided to go with Christmas fabrics. I started with these -

None of the rest of the prints I used were really very "Christmassy". Maybe you ...

Chunk of the Month-Coming in January from Patchwork Sampler Blog

Many years ago I made this quilt as a block of the month. It is really a “chunk of the month quilt” as it is made with a 12″ block and small filler blocks. I still love the quilt, but the Thimbleberries fabrics, not so much (it’s not a good photo, but you get the idea!).

I think it would be fun to offer an updated version of this as a skill-builder chunk of the month quilt. Starting in January, I will offer a pattern that will make a chunk of this quilt. The quilt shown is throw-size, but ...

Licorice Allsorts update from Wendy's Quilts and More

I've finished all the hand embroidered blocks for my Licorice Allsorts quilt, so now it's time to start machine piecing the other blocks.

There's actually one more embroidered block in my cupboard, but how do you fit 10 photos in to a grid!

Here's the first machine pieced block that sits in the centre of the quilt:

It's only 6" finished which is smaller than I imagined. But I do love these colour combos and am looking forward to making more blocks next week.

Here's what the finished quilt will look like:

Licorice Allsorts from Wendy's Quilts and More

I must have been living under a rock because I didn't realise that Bloglovin is dead! I still get my daily emails updating me on new posts from blogs that I follow, but I didn't realise that everything is frozen in time and we can't select new blogs to follow.

Follow by email seems to have gone the same way. So how do you keep up with blogs that you follow? Or do you just keep checking back until there's a new post to read?

Anyway, on a brighter note, I've finished another two blocks ...

Licorice Allsorts from Wendy's Quilts and More

Material Obsession in Sydney, Australia sent out the last package for the Wendy Williams Licorice Allsorts Block of the Month last week.

So naturally I decided it was time that I actually started stitching this quilt before the next round of Block of the Months get released in July.

Don't get me wrong - I love this quilt, and I'm very keen to make it, but I just had too many other things on the go at once. Even I have a limit of how many things I can juggle at the same time.

I love that this quilt ...

The Secret Fairy Garden Block of the Month from Jacquelynne Steves

I’m excited to announce our next FREE Block of the Month – The Secret Fairy Garden! This whimsical block of the month will run from July through November 2022, with new blocks released on the last Monday of the month.

When I’m planning my Block of the Month projects, the quilt design and fabrics that I use for making the sample and for making the optional kits comes down to “timing”. I have to make sure the fabrics are available in enough time so that we can have kits cut and ready for shipment, and then I have to ...
