Sewcialites 3 Block 22 - Down To Earth by Wendy Sheppard

Welcome back for week 22 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along as we celebrate our amazing quilting community! Each week, one of the 25 oh-sew-talented designers we’ve teamed up with is bringing you a new block pattern. This week, we’re excited to introduce the grounded Down To Earth Block by Wendy Sheppard!

Down To Earth by Wendy Sheppard

This week’s designer is the amazing quilt pattern designer, Wendy Sheppard. This week, she brought us the intermediate-level Down To Earth Block, made with flying geese and plenty of piecing! You can join Kimberly for a live sewing tutorial of the Down To Earth Block on Friday, July 24th, at 9AM CT, in the Behind The Seams Livestream on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel.

Wendy is sewing her Sewcialites 3 Quilt with scrappy red, white, and blue scraps from her stash.

Take a look at the Down To Earth Block in all three size options, using different collections! Kimberly sewed the 6″ block using Lyda Rose by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics, Gina Tell (@gina_tell_threadgraffiti) made the 3″ block in Wild Honey by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics, and Pat Sloan (@quilterpatsloan) pieced her 9″ block with Rosie by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics.

Three of our Quilty Staffers are joining in and making the 9″ blocks using Blueprint by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics, American Gatherings III by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics, and In the Garden by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics.
