Quilt Kit Ideas and thegreatdestash#

First up....Quilt Ideas

Join Sandra and me this year the first week of each month as we create this heirloom quilt designed by Lisa Bongean  Words to Live By BOM fabric and wool kits have arrived.  February's block is JOY.    Included with each month's kit is the wool applique fabric and the cotton background.  The words are inked in.   (Note -the corner triangle fabric of each block is included in the cotton finishing kit.)

We will be offering this for purchase in 2 ways.  You can purchase the 12 blocks separately by month or receive 3 Blocks each quarter.  Purchasing 3 block kits a quarter will save you a few dollars on shipping.  Also, if you want to stitch your squares together in a different design or fabric, just purchase the wool applique kits separately.  You will need to also purchase the pattern designed by Lisa Bongean.  CLICK HERE to see your options.

 The first 10 customers to purchase the Cotton Kits Finishing Kit receive a FREE roll of 2" paper triangle guides - the easy and quick way to make several half square triangles.  Stitch right on the paper guide and then pull the paper away.  Have you seen pictures of this quilt?  CLICK HERE  to the see the Quilted Pinapple's beautiful quilting on Lisa Bongean's quilt.  I love all the birds included in the applique.  Can't wait to get started.

 We just love this Mixed Bag Chevron kit designed by Studio M.  And it includes a FREE Pattern.   Just download the pattern from the link listed by the kit.  This quilt is made with one Mixed Bag Jelly Roll and one Bella Solid White Jelly Roll.  How simple is that!

This Charming Stars Quilt Pattern is from Moda Bake Shop designed by Stefanie Roman. It is one of my family's favorite quilts.  It is a fairly easy quilt - easy enough for Beginners with some quilting experience.  It is made with Charm Packs.   This year we are offering the kit with the Grant Park Charm Packs.  Another great red, white, taupe, and blue collection.

Gorgeous prints from the Grant Park Collection designed by Minich & Simpson for Moda.  Choose the borders and binding from any of our Grant Park fabrics in stock!

The Great De-stash is an instagram sensation!  Join in the fun.  Quilters are posting their overstock.  All kinds of treasures!   After Sandra listed a few LAST ONE bundles on instagram they sold immediately.

We decided it would be easier to take it to our ETSY shop.  So we listed over 180 "LAST ONE" or "END-OF-BOLT" PIECES ! They are selling fast.   Here is the LINK  

Also remember to see what is going on at SewMuch2Luv.  This week we are giving away a free fat quarter bundle.  And you might just find a discount code to use on either our Etsy shop or our sistersandquilters.com quilt shop!  :)

Happy Sewing!
