A block with a modern touch
We have come to week 4 in Fat Quarter Shop’s quilt along, Sewcialites. Are you having just as much fun as I’m having? I love quilting the blocks made by the different designers Fat Quarter Shop engaged in this FREE quilt along.
Kimberly Jolly, the owner of FQS is doing an amazing job by showing us every Friday in a Livestream on their YouTube channel how to best piece every block together. This is especially great for beginners and us, quilters who might want a little refresher or for the one, who wants to learn new techniques. Why don’t you quilt along with Kimberly this Friday at 9 am CDT?
Now let’s look at this week’s block, shall we? The free block for this week is called Spirited by Vanessa Goertzen.
Vanessa is one of the modern designers for Moda. I’m always amazed by how she manages her business and on top of that being a single mother of 2 children with all the responsibilities that come along with that. She truly does an amazing job.
If you wanna show Vanessa and your online quilting friends what you’ve made this week, be sure to post a photo of your block on Instagram. Mention #SewcialitesQAL and keep your fingers crossed because you can win some amazing prices! That’s right, companies like Aurifill, by Annie, and Stella Lightning give away products to participants in this free Quilt Along. Maybe your name will be drawn, who knows?!
Not on Instagram, no problem. Join the Facebook group, the Sewcialites Lounge. This group of quilters is very enthusiastic and ow so willing to cheer you on and showing each other which fabrics they’ll be using and how their block turned out. You don’t wanna miss the fun.
Don't miss the other designers involved in this project:
Can you believe the Sewcialites Quilt Along is almost over? I almost say, because even though the free blocks are all shared in the quilting community, we still have a quilt to make. In this blog post I am giving some tips on how to put together the final layout I created and what materials you will need for it. And last but not least, let's take a look at what the other quilters made of this beautiful sampler quilt!
