Patterns, patchworks and projects
Joanna of Applique Today intends to get her blogging mojo back by participating in the A to Z Challenge. Each day in April (except on Sundays) she will write a blog post corresponding to that day’s letter. Since today is the kickoff it’s the letter “A”. She shows us some of her applique work, like this section of an orange peel quilt. Just lovely. Go HERE to see more.

To get started, you can grab the pattern for the alphabet quilt as a PDF download from the Fat Quarter Shop. Moda has also made some tweaks to the sashing requirements to make the quilt truly special. Plus, to add even more charm to your quilt, Moda will be providing free filler blocks – think ornaments, trees, and other delightful motifs – to place between your words.
Now comes the fun part: deciding which words you want to include in your quilt! You can choose from the suggested words provided or get creative and come up with your own meaningful phrases. Whether it’s names, quotes, or personal mantras, the possibilities are endless.
So, how do you join in on the quilting fun? Simply follow along as Moda shares the step-by-step instructions and inspiration for each part of the quilt. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just starting out, this project is perfect for quilters of all skill levels. Get ready to embark on a creative journey filled with fabric, thread, and endless possibilities. Let’s quilt!
Could you help me. My mom moved with the sewing machine I started working on. Should I buy the same type since I am now familiar or could you suggest one so I can get my mojo back. Thanks
