Heartfelt Quilt and Stitch Along - Release 2 Buttercup

 

I'll chat about quilting first ...so if you are only a cross stitcher - just scroll a bit for the stitching information. 

It is time for the second release for the Heartfelt Quilt and Stitch Along!!! We are making five of the Buttercup Blocks. 

 OVER $60,000 has already been raised for Make-A-Wish, which is amazing!  Fat Quarter Shop has released a bonus Heartfelt Table Runner AND Quilt pattern to celebrate (here) !!!!

As I'm making my Heartfelt Quilt with One Fine Day fabric, I was able to mix and match fabrics until I found my favorite combos! I'm totally smitten with this fabric! 

I made the top of my hearts with a matching pair of fabric ... it was not how the pattern was written, but I didn't want to unpick the seams after I finished the blocks and luckily I like it!

I save the trimmed off triangles from the bottom of the heart shape and sewed them together. I will need to trim the bonus half-square triangles to one size once I decide on the bonus project! 

Heartfelt Quilt Along Details:

It is time for the 9th Annual Charity Quilt with Fat Quarter Shop! The way the fundraiser works is that Fat Quarter Shop offers the Heartfelt patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $5 each to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. Or feel free to make a larger, one-time donation of $50. No amount is too small and every bit counts. From February to September, we will publish a new pattern here on the blog on the 1st Friday of each month.

Heartfelt Stitch Along Details

                                         

It is time for the second release for the Heartfelt Stitch Along!!! I was excited to stitch the sweet hearts plus stars! I began stitching with my color conversion to the Classic Colorworks Floss, but then decided to change it a bit as I wanted more color (less gray) in my stitching compared to the model. So I'm just choosing my colors per motif, but using the same Classic Colorworks flosses as I list below under supplies.

The way the fundraiser works is that Fat Quarter Shops offers the Heartfelt patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $20 for the whole cross stitch pattern to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. No amount is too small and every bit counts. From February to August, Fat Quarter Shop will publish a new pattern here on the blog on the first Friday of each month.
