The Crossroads Quilt Along - Friendship Block

by Leave a Comment

Hello again and welcome back to one of your stops on the 2016 Crossroads Quilt Along hosted by the Fat Quarter Shop., Joanna Figueroa and the Fat Quarter Shop blogging crew. #teamFQS

Father time doesn’t always allow us to make a quilt in one sitting ….. but working on a few blocks each month is not only fun ….. but allows you to make a quilt in smaller increments.

It’s time to grab your fabric, your alphabitties, a rotary cutter & download your friendship block pattern, right HERE.

The Friendship Blocks are on the sewing table this month and don’t let the look of them scare you …. they aren’t quite as hard as they appear.

The monthly pattern downloads, fabric requirements and all of the support from the blogging team & Fat Quarter Shop are FREE for all of you ….but don’t forget this quilt along is also to benefit the March of Dimes. #payitforward

We have already made ten total blocks so far can you believe it?

I know it seems like an awful lot of greens and blues so far as we move along further into this project …. the red colorway will start to make an appearance. I can’t wait!

Happy stitching friends & I’ll see you back here next month when we make the Family Block. Until then …… toodles.

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the web!

It’s blog hop time again with The Fat Quarter Shop ….. and today we are having some fun with messenger bags and a pattern by Fig Tree & Co. called Kimberly’s Sac.

Purses & planners. Two of my favorite things & a fun way to keep everything all together and organized.

So what could be more fun than pulling some fabric from your stash and making a cute messenger bag????

Making two cute messenger bags. Of course.

These bags were really fun to make and there is even a Fat Quarter Shop video you can watch to help you as you sew along!

Now it’s your turn …… the pattern for Kimberly’s Sac can be found right HERE. And guess what???

Your planner will fit inside too!
