Yesterday, I introduced the Lantern-a-long, and we already have a few people participating on Flickr! Woohoo! If you link up a finished quilt top (can be any size) or finished quilt at the end of the Lantern-a-long (August 12-August 19), you are in the running to win the following prizes, chosen at random:
Christa from Christa Quilts is offering a $20 gift certificate to her shop!
Caitlin from I Don't Do Dishes is offering a $15 credit to her shop!
And, last but certainly not least... because my original lantern quilt top was made with Kate Spain's Good Fortune, Nicole from 1 Choice 4 Quilting is offering a charm pack of Kate's new line (that I'm already trying to decide in what capacity to buy): Sunnyside!

Thank you so much again to the sponsors of this QAL/LAL! You can click the buttons above to visit their shops!
The first block tutorial will be out on Tuesday. I love how quick these blocks come together, so you should totally join! :) You need a jelly roll or 2.5" strips of your fabric, plus background fabric (see yesterday's post for more specific materials).

Tues. July 2 - Mon. July 8 - Gather supplies
Mon. July 8 - Lantern Block 1
Mon. July 15 - Lantern Block 2
Mon. July 22 - Lantern Block 3
Mon. July 29 - Lantern Block 4

Mon. August 12 - Linky goes up for finished quilt tops/quilts (open for one week)

Now you have even more of a reason to - so please join us on Flickr! :)
I'll be back soon with more recent sewing and to set my July goal!
Hi Jess:
ReplyDeleteWe are still needing many quilts for the families of the Arizona Firefighters who perished. If you can't help at this time perhaps you can post our need on your blog: http://layersofhopequilting911.blogspot.com/
We have several that have come on board, but we still need many more!
Haha well probably the last thing I need is to join another QA, but who can resist something as intriguing as an /L/A? Looks like another fabric pull is in order ;)
