Today is National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!!!! And I am celebrating with a Giveaway (see end of post!!)
Just in case you don't have a project picked out . . . Here is some last minute ideas if you need a little Jelly Roll Inspiration :)
Petal Pop is probably my most popular Jelly Roll friendly pattern. I have taught this class so many times, and it is always a favorite among students. It would be a great one to sew up tomorrow, and it comes in multiple size options, so you don't have to make this big King size ;)
And I am super excited to be starting my own Jelly Roll Project today as well!!! I am joining in the Simply Jelly Rolls Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop!!! All you need to join in is a Simply Jelly Rolls book, a favorite jelly roll (I am using Evermore!!) and some yardage :) I can't wait to get started!!!
And for today's giveaway . . . I have a Simply Jelly Roll book for one Happy Quilting reader!!
To enter . . . Simply leave a comment of what you plan to do to celebrate National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!!! It's that simple. I will choose a winner on Tuesday ;)
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting (and Jelly Rolling) Weekend!!!
My local quilt group had a Jelly Roll retreat yesterday - so I have some blocks to finish!

ReplyDeleteI spent a few hours in my sewing room this afternoon simply cleaning and organizing it, so it's ready to go next time I can sew! It was a mess. No jelly rolls were harmed or stitched today, but I was dreaming about it!
ReplyDeleteI had to work or I would have been tempted to start a new quilt using one of your patterns.
ReplyDeleteToday I am keeping one of my grandkids, so no time for sewing!! But still a fun day!
ReplyDeleteThis was a day of service, not sewing, but there are several quilts from this book that I’d love to make.

ReplyDeleteFound a blue and cream jelly roll in my stash, so think I'll do Petal Pop!

I was busy finishing a commission so I didn't get to play along on the "Sew a Jelly Roll" day.
ReplyDeleteMy plan was to spend the day sewing trying out a new jelly roll pattern, but, life intervened, and I spent the day at my Aunt's 3 hours away, helping her clean up her garden for fall. We had a good visit, and, a great day, but, sewing would have been noce, too..... :)

ReplyDeleteI love the reading quilt you featured. I would love to do that!
ReplyDeleteThis past week, including yesterday, was taken up with spending time with and helping family members with a new house. But I have a jelly roll project ready to go when I finally have time!
ReplyDeleteWell, I did get a bit of sewing in, but it didn't involve a jelly roll. I worked on some pillowcases to donate.
ReplyDeleteI’ll be pre washing some flannel fabrics so I can make a few burp cloths later in the week. Assisting a convalescing family member and then a quick trip to evaluate if some broken jewelry parts can be used in a different format. Thanks for the chance for this book. Of course I have a couple of jelly rolls and I’ll be home more with the cooler temps coming to create a quilt of two.
ReplyDeleteI’m ejaneemerson@yahoo.com and that petal pop pattern is really striking a cord within me.
DeleteContinue to work on butterflies and cream pattern with blue, white and yellow jelly rolls!
