Hi all. I am starting some new and exciting things! The first is this blog. The second is my Quilt Along! What is a Quilt Along? A Quilt Along is ~ I piece my quilt top at my quilt shop or home and post the instructions here for you to do the same in the comfort of your own home. That's it. If you can sew a straight line - YOU CAN DO THIS! I'll be posting photo's of my quilt in process. If you've always wanted to quilt - now is the time. I'm here to help and answer your questions as needed. And if you are local - come to the shop for help any time at all! That's what we are here for - to share our passion (and therapy) with you. We are the Quilt Therapists. So lets get started! The first project is a small one. You could piece this entire quilt top in one afternoon if you wanted to. This is my FAVORITE charity and gift quilt pattern. It's quick and easy. This quilt measures approximately 41" x 56" when finished. Your first assignment is to choose your fabrics. You need 1 yard focus fabric (novelty prints are fantastic for this i.e. the cows in the photo), 3/4 yard tone on tone (the solid looking lime green in the photo), 1/2 yard accent fabric (the black in the photo), and an additional 1/4 yard of binding from one of your fabrics if you would like it to match. That's it! Cutting instructions to follow tomorrow.
If you are into Christmas in July - Christmas fabrics look MAGNIFICENT in this layout. READY ~ SET ~ GO! I can't wait to see what you all do. : )
