Hey Everyone,
Since I am working alone I have decided not to do a BOM this year. It is just too hard to build the kits and get them shipped all alone. Instead I am going to do two Quilt Alongs. They will be free but I am hoping you will support me by buying some fabric to make them. Both quilts are designed in LemonTree by Tilda.
LemonTree arrives in February and I will have some kits up then for both of the quilt alongs.
This Quilt along is all about beginners. I am writing tutorials to make blocks that I made my first year of quilting (25 yrs ago). That is where the name came from my beginnings. I drafted the blocks that are not traditional blocks (the farm blocks) and as far as I know they are my own. I made a farm quilt my first year of quilting and a cat quilt but those patterns are long lost to time. So I made them somewhat how I remember them, but they are my own.
It
has long been on my list to do a quilt along for beginners because I
want to teach things you don't hear often anymore. A lot people teach
themselves with YouTube or Google, and that is great, but sometimes you
miss something when you don't learn from experience. I am here to help
with that. We will get started this week and I hope you will join along
with me.
This quilt is baby size 40" by 48" and would be totally appropriate for a girl or a boy (just change the fabrics).
The other quilt will be an intermediate quilt and I will show you a preview of that this week. It will be a large lap size.
Since I am doing this for free I do reserve the right to make minor changes to blocks or fabrics if I feel I need to.
Stay tuned for more info coming this week.
Love,
Julie

ReplyDeleteSo excited to join and sew my 1st QAL! Thank you for creating this for us all.
ReplyDeleteLooks very fun, Julie! I am drawn to the row by row look, and the sampler look, and am a beginner, so this sounds so perfect. Glad it is not a larger quilt! Looking forward to quilting with everyone! Linda B
