We’re celebrating our quilting community with a free block of the week quilt along called the Sewcialites Quilt Along. We’ve joined forces with 18 talented designers to bring you a free 38-week quilt along with amazing sampler blocks and sew many options! If you’re just joining us, you can find all of the details over on the Sewcialites Landing Page. We’re sewing up block #33 this week!
This week’s designer is Lori Holt! Lori is an amazing quilter, and she is also a talented pattern designer, author, and friend! Kimberly and Lori have been friends for 10 years, and their friendship and collaboration have brought us many incredible patterns and projects. If you’re ready to make this block, follow along with Kimberly for a tutorial in today’s video on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube channel.

Lori sewed her block from Prim and used Bee Cross Stitch. She will be showing off her block on her YouTube channel as well! Visit Lori on Instagram for more details about her block!

Kimberly is sewing with the Homestead collection by April Rosenthal for Moda Fabrics. She made her blocks in all three sizes for a fun challenge.
We invited some FQS staffers to join
