I am super excited to share more about my soon to be released
Charming Baby Quilts book :) And today's it's all about the Sew Along ;)
This is the design for the Charming Baby Quilts Sew Along!!! I designed this quilt as a sampler quilt using a block or a portion of a block from each of the 10 quilts in the
Charming Baby Quilts book. It is a twin size quilt finishing at 66" x 88" and I think it is just so fun and I can't wait to sew along with all of you!!!!
The Sew Along stars in April and you can see
Fat Quarter Shop's post about it here ;) Kimberly,
from Fat Quarter Shop, is using
Bonnie At Home Charm Packs by Bonnie and Camille for her Charming Baby Quilt and she even shared the finished quilt top on her
Live Video Stream today ;) If you want to see if she shares it at 30:40 time on the video ;) It is so great!!!! I can't wait to see it all quilted up!!!!
And I am going to make mine using
Catalina Charm Packs by Joanna Figueroa from Fig Tree & Co. And I am actually using a few extra
Charm Packs as I didn't want to use the Low Volume prints in the design as I was worried it would blend into the background to much ;) So something to keep in mind when you get your fabrics!!!
And speaking of getting your fabrics . . . The Fabric Requirements are already posted!!!! So you can start thinking know about what
Charm Packs you want to use. And of course, you can use more than one fabric line, it would be super cute to mix and match
Charm Packs in this design ;)
This is going to be a super fun and super easy Sew Along to participate in. So if you are anywhere from a beginner to an expert you are going to love sewing along ;) And this will also double as my annual Sew Along so I hope you will join in and Sew Along with us!!!! All the fun starts April 8th, and of course, I will share more details as we get closer to April ;)
Oh, and one last note. You will need a Charming Baby Quilts book to Sew Along so just as a reminder . . . the Charming Baby Quilts Book will be released in March of 2020 and it is available for pre-order!!! You can pre-order a copy of Charming Baby Quilts directly from
It's Sew Emma, or from
Fat Quarter Shop (with a pre-order discount) , or if you would like to
pre-order a signed copy directly from me, that is an option as well ;) All pre-ordered books will ship out in March 2020
I am so super excited!!!! Only two more Months to March ;)
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!!
So exciting Melissa! Looking forward to your new book and watching the sew along unfold. I might whittle mine down to baby size :), but hope to sew along and try out each of the designs as I go.
ReplyDeleteWould you be cutting down the size of the 5" sq to say 4 or 3"? CAn Melissa give us alternate to make a smaller version?
DeleteHi Tanvisha, It would be difficult to cut the block sizes down as they are all different sizes based on the design. But you could always just make one of each block and then sew them together as a sampler ;)
DeleteYAAY looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI am greatly looking forward to this sew along.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Your new book looks great.
