Ok Kids, Let’s Sew

003

Ok, girls, let's rev up our engines and plan to make this adorable quilt!  Several of you guessed that this might be the pattern I was was going to be working on, and you were right.  You also asked if you could sew along!  Of course you can.  It will be so much fun to see what folks do with this amazing pattern that lends itself to any kind of fabrics!  Seriously, EVERYONE needs one of these hanging in their sewing rooms! 

We are being super casual about this sew along, with no deadlines or other restrictions.  It's summer and we want to go with the flow.  As you make progress with your Spools blocks/quilts, send me pictures and I will post them.  When summer is over, we will be done.

Here are the correct answers to my little giveaway quiz:  The pattern is Spools by Thimble Blossoms, the primary fabric I am using is a jelly roll of Marmalade  (although I may toss in some Bliss, Ruby or other collections that "go"), with some Vintage Modern thrown in for the spool tops (because yardage of Marmalade is not available to me at this time), and the gals who started the Sew Along idea with me are my friends Thelma from Cupcakes 'n' Daisies and Lisa from Stashmaster.

Several of you guessed correctly, but the first person to do so had the email address of mvorefamily @*********.  Dear mvorefamily, you didn't sign your name, but you were the first to guess the right answer.  Email me your address and this little goodie pack will be on its way to you.

  1. You better cross out “Bibelot” and put “Thelma” on that pattern, didn’t you get the memo! I am so excited we’ve picked up some folks to join in on the Spool-along. What quilter doesn’t want to make that adorable pattern! It continues to be a summer of fun and the more Spool quilts the more fun!

  7. Hey, I guessed your friends were called Thelma and Louise and they are actually called Thelma and Lisa! How close was that?
    Look forward to watching your sew-a-long….

  9. Cute spool pattern and congrats to Marcy for winning!!
    I have zero wall space in my little sewing room so may have to pass on this quilt-a-long. Besides, life is rather busy now with both in-laws in rehab and our younger son moving out (boo-hoo!!).
    Hugs!

  11. At least I knew it was Thelma and Lisa. They tend to be your partners in crime, LOL!
    Marmalade is very lovely but I held off from picking it up because I have Ruby and Vintage Modern sitting on my shelf. I tried to be VERY good this summer and focus on getting out instead of bringing stuff in… I hope I don’t regret it!
    I hope you enjoy the quilt along. It will be fun seeing your version.

  15. I think I’m going to join the group making wall hangings for this pattern. I’m just now starting to ’embellish’ the walls in my sewing corner (of my guest bedroom), and I know that the Marmalade will be the perfect fabric to make it bright and cheerful. I look forward to seeing all the posts on the quilt-a-long!! Thanks Nicole, Thelma and Lisa!!

  17. Congratulations to Marcy!! What a great prize. I have made the spools quilt for my friend’s 60th surprize birthday. It is easy and goes up so fast, hope everyone enjoys doing it! (I wish I had time to do another, it would look cute hanging in my sewing room, but I REALLY want to make it in marmalade, the last one I made was scrappy reds and yellows.)

  21. I might be able to make a mini-sized one along with everyone. That is, after I have finished the “X-Rated” Schnibbles that I just started. 🙂 I have a photo on my blog.

  23. Very fun! I saw the one that Quilting on Main Street did… this will be so fun and you are right… everyone does need one in their sewing room.

  27. I might have to join in! I already have the spools pattern, so would just have to pick some fabric and get started!
