Quilt Auction for The Sandpiper Project

I was so happy when Monique reached out to me.  Monique is part of The Sandpiper Project, a group of amazing volunteers who use quilting to raise money for organizations and programs that serve children who have been diagnosed with critical diseases.   Monique's daughter is a Wish Ambassador after receiving her Wish in 2019, which prompted her to begin The Sandpiper Project to pay it forward ever since.   I am honored to be a part of the many quilters, textile companies, businesses and others who are a part of helping these children.  

So to aid in the cause, I have donated my Baby Scrappy Carpenter's Wheel quilt to be auctioned.   This quilt and your donations will help "Camp UKANDU", the largest and longest-running provider of medically-supervised camp programming available to families battling childhood and adolescent cancer.  How cool is that!!!  

The auction will be live for the next 4 days ending on Sunday, March 26th at 2pm pacific time.  And of course, if you want to help but don't necessary want to bid, you can always donate.  All the details for bidding and donating can be found here.    And for more details on this Baby Scrappy Carpenter's Wheel quilt, you can see this post ;) 

Thanks again to Monique for reaching out to me!!!  I am just so grateful that this amazing love of quilting can help to bring joy into others lives, especially those who are so affected by childhood cancers.   And to find out more about the Sandpiper Project and see how you can help, visit here ;) 

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting day!!!

Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along - Materials Needed!!

Well I said the Fabric Requirements would be released on Friday and here they are!!!!   You can download a PDF of the Fast & Fun Sampler Fabric Requirements here!! 

This Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along is going to be so much fun!  I so hope you will be quilting along with me.  And just in case you missed the last post, this sampler is made with blocks from each of the 9 quilts in my Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book and will finish at   92" x 92" making a lovely queen size.  

The Quilt Along officially starts on April 5th , so by then you will want to have gathered up:

2 Layer Cake/10" Stackers - You can use 2 similar layer cakes, or use 2 different ones, or just cut 10" squares from your scraps.   Whatever way you want to mix it up ;)  

9 Yards of Background Fabric - And remember it doesn't have to be white.  And yes, I know that seems like a lot of background fabric, but 1 1/4 yards of it will be used in the pieced backing we will be making. 

5 1/2 Yard of Backing Fabric - And yes, I know that seems like a small amount for a queen size quilt.  That is where the pieced backing will come in and use the extra Background fabric.

A copy of my Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book

(and no need for a binding fabric, we will be making a scrappy binding from our 10" squares as well)

I will be sharing more on this quilt along in the coming weeks,  but I wanted to make sure you had plenty of time to gather your Materials so you would be all set starting next month!!!  

Oh, and you can always check my Happy Quilting Quilt-Along's Tab for all the Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along links and the most up to date info. 

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!

Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along - Coming Soon!!!

 Today I am super excited to be sharing a little teaser for my upcoming Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along!  I can't wait for this Quilt Along and hope you will be joining me in the fast & fun quilting.  

This is the sampler design for the Fast & Fun Sampler Quilt Along!  I had so much fun working on the design for this quilt along.  I used blocks from from each of the 9 quilts in the Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book and put them in this fun medallion/row quilt layout.   It is a queen size quilt finishing at 92" x 92" and I am so looking forward to quilting it up along with all of you!

The Quilt Along officially starts April 5th with the first block release, and there will be a new block release each Wednesday until May 24th.   The Fabric Requirements will be released super soon (like most likely this Friday) but for now, you can start thinking about your favorite Layer Cake/10" Stackers that you will want to make your quilt in.  You will be using 2 Layer Cake/10" Stackers and you can use 2 of the same or mix and match your squares.  

And I am going to make 2 quilts as shown above.  The first quilt I will be using 2 Sunnyside Layer Cakes by Camille Roskelley for Moda.   The second quilt I will be using 2 Ally's Garden 10" Stackers by Dani Mogstad for Riley Blake Designs.   I wanted to show you what the sampler would look like with both  light and  a dark background, and I am excited to be making 2 versions along with all of you.  

This is going to be a super fun and super easy Quilt Along to participate in.   No need to sign up or anything, just follow along each week and make the assigned blocks and then share them.   Of course, we will be having prizes along the way as well.    So from beginners to an experts alike, you are sure to have a great time quilting along! 

Oh, and one last note.  You will need a Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book to Quilt Along.  And this just leads to more exciting news to share . . . my Fast & Fun Lap Quilts book is now being published by C&T Publishing and will release on March 25th  and it is available for pre-order!!!  You can pre-order a copy of Fast & Fun Lap Quilts directly from C&T Publishing, or if you would like  a signed copy directly from me, that is an option as well ;)  And if you prefer E-books, you can get a digital copy of Fast & Fun Lap Quilts right here.   

So grab your book and start thinking about what fabrics you want to use.  The Fabric Requirements will be released soon along with lots more details for quilting along.   I am so super excited!  Only a few more weeks until April 5th and all the Quilt Along Fun ;)   

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!
