Harvest Happenings

When I see the combines out in the field and kids out on the football fields, I know we are nearing in on the end of summer. I also know that means things won't be slowing down anytime soon! I've been able to step outside and enjoy the sunshine and my flowers, both of which always make me happy.

We have had so many fun classes and makes! Look at how cute Cathy looks in her new quilt coat!

The amount of quilt kits that have been created are astounding! Definitely keep scrolling to see the beauties that are ready for you to make!

A gentle reminder that we will be closed on Monday, September 7 in observance of Labor Day. Be sure to plan ahead with your quilty adventures!

 

 

 

 

Six-Pack Party Starts August 20

Spilled Salt is made using six half-yard cuts, and the pattern is wonderfully flexible. You can sew it using: 6 different fabrics, 3 shades of 2 colors, or 2 shades of 3 colors. No matter how you build your six, contrast is the key that makes the 4-X or pinwheel design shine.

Two Easy Ways to Join the Six-Pack Party 

Option 1: Purchase a Spilled Salt Six-Pack Bundle Our curated bundles include seven coordinating half-yard cuts selected to create strong contrast and a crisp finish. This is the easiest, most stress-free way to get started — and our top recommendation. 

Shop Spilled Salt bundles here: SHOP HERE

Option 2: Sew from Your Stash. Prefer to use fabrics you already have? Quilters may also join the Six-Pack Party with [any 3-yard fabric purchase]. 

Inside the Facebook group, our Fabric Guide video will help you choose fabrics that work beautifully together. 

All participants are invited to our private Facebook group, where you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step instructional videos
  • Fabric and contrast guidance
  • Quilter progress photos and encouragement
