We’re ready to start our 12th Annual Charity Quilt and Cross Stitch, Stardust! Let’s get started with the first of two pattern releases and take off on this stellar quilt and stitch along together. If this is the first you’re hearing of it, you can read all about it in the kick off blog.
Block One of the Stardust Quilt is ready for takeoff! We’re sewing with the Summertime collection designed by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics, and we also have three sample maker versions to get your creative mind dreaming.
We sold out of the quilt kit, so check out the Stardust Quilt Fabric Requirements on the Stardust Quilt and Stitch Along Product Page to make one with your own fabrics. With just four printed fabrics and a background, the color options are limitless. So, shop your stash or shop one of your favorite new collections today—we can’t wait to see what you make.
Sew Along with Kimberly!
On Friday, May 2nd, join Kimberly in a pre-recorded video as she sews block one of the Stardust Quilt. Whether you’re sewing along with us or just love to tune in and share in the quilty fun, we’re excited to have you there!
As we look to the skies and set off into our 12th Annual Charity Quilt Along, we are inspired by the generosity of this sewing community and the stories of the children who have been granted life-changing Wishes.
We had a very special visit from Sam Benesch in January when he joined Kimberly for a Livestream about this year’s Charity Quilt Along and the life-long impact of a wish. If you haven’t seen this Livestream yet, now is a great time to tune in to the recording!
Special Donor Gift!
We still have some bears waiting to go home with their generous donors. The first 500 donors to donate an amount of $75 or more will receive a special limited edition Stardust Bear as a thank-you gift and they will start shipping out soon.
This sweet bear comes with embroidered foot pads and a darling bowtie and will only be available to those who donate to the Stardust fundraiser this year. For each bear we send to a donor, we will also send one to a Make-A-Wish child, so it’s a gift that keeps giving! With every donation, we are closer to our goal of granting ten wishes and closer to awarding each special surprise.
We are constantly blown away by the generosity of our community of quilters and stitchers, and we are excited to tell you that we have already passed the $30,000 mark! During the fundraiser, please give what you can because every little bit counts toward granting a child’s wish.
Together, Fat Quarter Shop and Moda Fabrics will make your donations go twice as far and match up to $30,000 of the donations raised. With your help, we will be sure to hit our $100,000 Goal!
