Little Joys Quilt Along - Week 3

The Little Joys fun continues today with week #3! The 'Welcome Home' block, which you can find available on Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Jabber blog today! Find all the details about the Christmas-in-July sew-along here. 

This is my favourite block from the quilt, so simple to put together and really sweet. Wouldn't they look great as a Christmas mini quilt to hang in an entrance hall? So inviting. I plan to make some more and do just that (once I've got some August deadlines out the way). Have a great week friends. 

Little Joys Quilt Along - Week 2

Trim The Tree is our first block on the Little Joys quilt-along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop. You can find the free pattern over on the Jolly Jabber blog. They are nice, big, simple blocks, so putting them together should be nice and easy. We need three of these blocks for the wall hanging quilt we're making so you can chain piece galore and finish them in no time. Happy sewing! More on these next week. 

Little Joys Quilt Along - Week 1

Who fancies some good old fashioned Christmas In July sewing!? Well I do, as I'm sure a lot of you will too so why don't you join in Fat Quarter Shop's Little Joys Quilt Along starting this week! We are making this really sweet wall hanging quilt designed by Elea Lutz, the mastermind behind this adorable fabric collection by PennyRose Fabrics, and that other really cute line Milk, Sugar & Flower. Yep, you know the one. 

We are starting with week 1 today, but don't worry about being late to the party, the first block isn't released until the 8th July. This week is all about getting our fabrics ready, which of course you can pick up from Fat Quarter Shop. They are also offering a quilt kit so you can be ready to go in no time! What's more the block patterns are free! There's no excuse not to join. So be sure to stop by the Jolly Jabber blog and check the Little Joys Quilt Along page each Wednesday for updates when the patterns are released.
