I’d like to stitch the witch but not a cat person so trying to think of something to substitute instead.
You have had several really intriguing quilts as of late, but when one looks into joining the quilt alongs there is always a book or rather expensive pattern….
Times are changing and most quilters have lots of fabric, but need interesting patterns that either are very reasonable or free.
I am specifically addressing things like Jolly Snowflake which wasn’t just jelly roll strips, but made a pattern with pizzaz. Also great in patriotic colors. It was free….
Thank you for listening
Hey Barbara, Fat Quarter shop offers many free quilt patterns. Just made one Halloween one. Meowy Halloween (and as you said, ‘from my own collection’ of fabrics. Another one is “Bats and Boos”. Haven’t made that one yet. Yes, I’m old and retired and can’t afford the fabric budget I once had, so yes, I’ve collected lots of fabric.
Hope you spend a little on fabric and patterns though, because we have to keep them in business.
you could do a bat or anther star or how about a spool of thread.
How do I join a quilt along. Thinking of the one in October. Do I have to buy the pattern? Can I use may own fabric? What else do I need to know? Thanks

All of the supplies you need are listed above or in the announcement post along with how to join this sew along!

Thank you Kimberly for offering choices whether it’s free patterns to use with our fabric or w=encouraging us to use our own fabric with your patterns to purchase or free QAL’s .I wish I was I was retired to do all the things. Thank you again for all the ideas I appreciate.
I’m trying to see if I understand this correctly you don’t have videos of the sewer long you just have people showing their progress on Instagram is that correct? Because I’m looking for videos and I’m not finding any. Thanks.
Hi Carla! That is correct there aren’t video tutorials for this sew along. We’re sharing our blocks on Wednesdays over on Facebook and Instagram though.
Additionally, we have people sewing and stitching along who are also sharing their work throughout the sew along as well.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
FQS… Can you please make the dates of the QAL into a printable PDF so I can easily print it out & keep it with my pattern, please & then you!!!
Hi Joanna! We pulled one together for you and anyone else to be able to download!
