SEWIALITES SEW ALONG, BLOCK 14 - free quilt along hosted by Fatquartershop. This block is called SERENITY, brought to you by Chelsi Stratton. Fabrics used in this block are SPOTTED and PAPER by Zen Chic.

Let’s start the year with “Serenity”

Welcome back, my quilting friend. It’s been a few weeks since we had a new block for the Sewcialites Quilt Along. So whether you used this time to catch up with some blocks you still needed to make or you took some time off and spent it relaxing, I bet you are up for a new quilting goodie.

This week the lovely Chelsi Stratton is our designer. Chelsi is a mother to 3 kids, a wife, and she designs fabrics for Moda together with her mom. And she is also a podcaster. 

With her mom at the other side of the table, she hosts The Quilting Life Podcast. Now that is something not all quilters do, right? I think it’s awesome. They talk about all things quilting, their favorite blogs, project organization and so much more. Go check them out someday, you can find them on YouTube. 

Chelsi created a lovely block for our sampler quilt this week and she called it Serenity. What a perfect name for a block after such a hectic year, and what about that holiday season, right? We all could use some serenity right about now.

However, if you’re up for some quilting time with friends and you would like to quilt along with Kimberly from Fat Quarter Shop, Friday at 9 am CDT is the time to log onto YouTube and join their channel. 

When you have the Serenity Block ready and done, show us in the Facebook group, the Sewcialites Lounge. In there you can connect with other quilting friends and talk about the block, ask questions, and just have a good time looking at all the eye candy.

Another great channel to show your work is Instagram, right? I like to connect with my quilting friends there too. And when you use the hashtag #SewcialitesQAL it’s easy to find so much beauty. It can even get you a nice prize from one of our sponsors, like Aurifil, Creative Grids, or Martingale. 

So quilt along with us, snap a picture, and share it with us on Facebook and Instagram.
