We are so excited to announce our Quilt Along for 2022! Tammy and I worked hard on an amazing sampler quilt called Sisterhood. The quilt celebrates the supportive and wonderful women in our lives and we can't wait to share it with you! So...we are hosting a Sisterhood Quilt Along! Woot woot!
Starting in April 2022, we will sew our quilts together. There will be weekly newsletters with tips and video tutorials for some techniques; there will be 3 different sizes you can make and a few giveaways for those on the newsletter list.
Don't miss out on the fun! Sign up today!
Sisterhood: The Quilt
The Sisterhood quilt celebrates women who have been an important and influential part of our lives. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, daughters and friends who are our support system.
Women who have supported us, nurtured us, laughed and cried with us. Women who we value and love.
We have taken 30 quilt blocks and renamed them with the names of all these wonderful women. In the newsletters during the quilt along, we will share a little story about each of these women that have shaped and influenced us.

Skill Level: Intermediate
While the pattern is written for the intermediate quilter, this pattern can be
A wonderful skill builder for the quilter ready to take on the challenge. The
Blocks range in complexity, but use many common units. Helpful tips and
Video demonstrations will be part of the quilt along (another great reason to sign up!)
Setting
The Sisterhood Quilt Pattern offers three different size options, each using the same 30 star blocks. For the traditional quilter, we have designed a charming lap quilt that finishes at 67” x 80”. There are two more contemporary layout options, each with some negative space. One finishes at 83” x 93”, while the largest is 90” x 94”. And of course, any of them can easily be made larger by simply adding borders!
