(Sweet) Home Base

August 10, 2021

Hello Sweet Home members! I’m so happy you’ve signed up to sew along with myself and my co-host Maureen Cracknell on the 2021 Sweet Home Quilt Along! This blog/email newsletter will be your Sweet Home QAL home base throughout the event.

It’s just two weeks out till the August 25th starting day of the QAL and as I write this this blog post we’ve got 618 members signed up to sew along!

Most of you already have the pattern and are gathering your fabric pulls or ordering kits. If you don’t already have your Sweet Home quilt pattern, then pop over to my Shop and purchase the PDF pattern.

Don’t forget to visit the Kit Directory page in the QAL Members Area to be inspired or order a kit for the quilt along. Many shops are running low on available kits so don’t delay too long!

Maureen and I have been busy behind the scenes lining up sponsors for the quilt along, making our sample quilts, and creating helpful tutorials so you’ll have the best QAL experience over the six week long QAL event.

Here’s a look at the six week schedule that begins August 25th. The first week is devoted to Fabric Selection and cutting out all the pieces needed to start piecing the Log Cabin blocks on week 2.

Each week there’ll be a new blog post newsletter sent to members. In the newsletters you’ll find pattern tips with extra tutorials available on the Sweet Home QAL Tutorials page.

Plus each Wednesday (starting nex week) a weekly newsletter will announce which wonderful sponsor and prize(s) are part of that week’s giveaway package. You’ll need to log in to your Members account and leave a comment on that week’s blog post to be entered for that giveaway prize(s). More details to come on giveaways that start next week—definitely something you wont want to miss!

I’m excited for the quilt along to begin and to make my two new Sweet Home quilts! If you’re on Instagram, post your Sweet Home progress and blocks using the #SweetHomeQAL2021 hashtag so Maureen and I can see what you’re creating—I can’t wait to see what you make! While you’re on IG, be sure to follow both Maureen @maureencracknell and myself @sharonhollanddesigns as we post about the QAL, our pretty images of our Art Gallery Fabrics collections, and whatever other the projects we’re working on—we love staying connected that way!
