  1. Hi there Cheryl! We just checked and all seem to be working on our end! 🙂 What can we help you with? The FAQ page link should have a lot of helpful information for you! 🙂

  2. I'm really excited that this fabric is finally here, and this quilt along is beginning! I can't wait to receive my kit, which I pre-ordered. I think it has shipped and will hopefully arrive tomorrow! I love the fabric by Bonnie and Camille that we're using for this quilt!!!

  3. Finally got my donation in, this is my second year with the Make-A-Wish PQAL! It will be another fun year! You hanks Kimberly Jolly & everyone at the Fat Quarter Shop ????

  4. Loved making the Snapshots quilt last year and have decided to join in again this year Kimberley but will donate to the Make A Wish foundation in Aussie, hope that's okay ??
