The first release of the Bountiful Charity Quilt and Stitch Along are available today! I'm so glad that I am able to quilt and stitch along with Fat Quarter Shop for the 10th Annual Charity Quilt!
Fat Quarter Shop offers the Bountiful patterns (quilt and cross stitch) as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation to the Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. From now through August, Fat Quarter Shop will publish a free pattern to download the first Friday of each month! Please consider donating to: Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign.
Bountiful Release One: Basket
This month we are making (2) 24.5" x 24."5 beautiful Basket Blocks. I love these large blocks! The little star block in the basket is the cutest!
- Tip: Take the time to cut your gingham fabric (for basket handle) straight with the printed gingham.
Bountiful Quilt Kit:
I'm using the Bountiful Quilt Kit and Backing Kit with the gorgeous Sunwashed Collection by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics to make my quilt. The Bountiful Quilt Kit is amazing as Fat Quarter Shop is generous with the fabric cuts, printed directions, plus a fabulous decorative box to store your finished blocks and fabric are all included with your kit Bountiful Quilt Kit. Note: The Backing kit is separate.
--- Bountiful Cross Stitch ---
Bountiful Stitch Along Release One is the fabulous border. I haven't stitched my full border yet as I wanted to start stitching the inside to make sure I counted the border correctly. As I'm using 20 count Aida, I don't want to unpick any counting oops stitching ;).
My supplies:
- DMC 3328, 761, 353, 352, 3855,745, 3348, 3347, 3811, 3810, 3750, blanc. I chose to change a few of the DMC floss colors and I love them!
- 20 count Aida (I'm stitching one strand over one square)
- Bountiful Thread Box
- Pink Bee Needle Minder
- Gingham Love Thread Bling (floss ring)
- Heartfelt Flossbitties
I hope you are joining along for the Bountiful Quilt Along and/or Bountiful Stitch Along! Both are beautiful patterns that benefit children! Please consider donating to: Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign.
I will be back Friday, April 7 with Bountiful Release two!
