At Home Jolly Bar plus Exclusive Garden Gala Quilt Pattern
I was sooooo excited to receive the At Home Jolly Bar designed by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics. A Jolly Bar is a Moda precut exclusive to Fat Quarter Shop and contains (42) 5 "x 10" rectangles. I especially love this Jolly Bar as it contains BOTH color ways for the At Home Collection. The Garden Gala Quilt is a must make pattern! I absolutely looooove it!
The Garden Gala finishing kit is available HERE.
Here is a peek of a Jolly Bar Project I'm sewing with At Home (the pink fabric is from a different Bonnie & Camille collection)
Another Jolly Bar bonus is that Fat Quarter Shop includes a free pattern (see below) with each Jolly Bar so you also receive the included Jolly Bar Quilt pattern too - it's rolled right up in the fabric!
The Scallop & Waves Quilting Template is brand new at Fat Quarter Shop. The template is made of thick acrylic plastic so you can trace with your favorite marking pen onto your quilting project and stitch on the marked lines for perfect scallops and waves. Click on the picture above to see all the designs larger.
Alphabitties are a must for me! I use them when assembling quilt blocks AND when sewing my quilt rows together! Alphabitties keep me organized and help me know, which piece I need to sew next! The expansion pack is needed as so many patterns have numbers 10-19 and double alphabet letters (Lori Holt large patterns).
I'm excited to try the Posey Handmade Beeswax Thread Conditioner for cross stitching! Hopefully no more floss tangles ;). It would also be great for paper piecing and hand stitching binding. PS - it smells like honey!
Each month, Sew Sampler Members receive a block pattern for the current Sew Sampler Mystery Quilt. This year- Greatest Hits Album features Moda Bella Solids and will be a large 70.5" x 90.5" sampler quilt! You can find Track #1 (pattern), Quilt Kit, and Thread Set available at Fat Quarter Shop! Purchase the Quilt Kit and you will be ready each month to sew your Greatest Hits block! I'm still thinking if I want to make my quilt with the Moda Bella Solids OR a different collection OR scrappy from my stash.
