Tuesday was another Fall Quilt Along (QAL) that I am doing.  This QAL is also a Christmas themed one and began last Tuesday. 

Actually, I think the Fat Quarter Shop planned this for this past summer – maybe a Christmas in July event, but like so many things there were delivery delays with the fabric they planned to use to make kits. It is a wall hanging and will continue for three more weeks.  There is a companion Cross Stitch Sew Along. The patterns are free and for more information check out Fat Quarter Shops Blog.

Fall QAL – Tuesdays – Christmas Time, a Wall Hanging

So, last week we got Block #1 – a Cup of Cheer. #ChristmastimeQAL

I am using left over Layer Cake fabric & scraps from last year’s All the Trimmings Mystery QAL by Fat Quarter Shop & filling in with other scraps from my Christmas fabric.   I had purchased their kit which used the Christmas Morning collection by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics.

The 2nd block was released yesterday – Hard Candy Christmas. This one was a bit more of a challenge because it has 32 pieces that are 1-1/2″ square!

I am happy to say I am keeping up and getting my QAL blocks done the day they are released!

Other Tuesday Stitching

• Stitched 4 more 16-Patch blocks & cut pieced strips for an additional 8 blocks.

• Borders & more Borders – I added the White & Red Borders to my Old Glory Quilt of Valor. Now I have only the Blue Border to add and to piece the backing. Then it can be off to my Longarm Quilter.

Looking to October – Autumn Jubilee

There is one Blog event I look forward to each year and it is Autumn Jubilee sponsored by Carole on her blog, From My Carolina Home.  #autumnjubilee2022

Carole shares her many interests which include quilting & sewing, cooking, gardens/wildlife, books as well as travels and more. For Autumn Jubilee there are a variety of activities and prizes offered by a number of great sponsors. Join her on October 2nd for the beginning of a fun month!

Happy Stitching!
