You may have heard a rumor my next sew along was Christmas memories.. and you were right!
This is my 2nd year of Wednesday sew alongs, I’m having so much fun with it!
For my Christmas Memories I’m calling it ‘Merry & Bright’ and I’ll be using Christmas Delivery fabric
My Project Details:
- Start date July 25, 2018.
- End date Nov 28, 2018.
- The Blocks come out each Wednesday around 7am EST
- ENTER YOUR EMAIL to get the weekly notice
- They are SIMPLE and FUN
- I weave memories in my Wednesday blocks. I have a title for the block and talk about that memory. The block does not LOOK like what I’m talking about. (ok.. sometimes it does, wink, but not usually).
- I design, write, create, and sew along with you & work with a fabric bundle
- The GOAL is to sew easy blocks with fun fabric that you love! Good goal right?
I’m using a FQ Bundle of Christmas Delivery by Riley Blake + a few 1/2 pieces a background & border. My supply list gives you what my working bundle is.

My friend Joanna of Fig Tree designed this yummy quilt, put it in a book and gave us bonus companion projects. The photography is incredible and I LOVE the blocks! It will be a sew along with the Fat Quarter shop.
Once a month we’ll sew blocks that are assigned. Not sure when the start date is as Joanna’s fabric is not in yet. But you can see what it looks like and there are Jolly bars!
I will be creating a page for Merry & Bright of all the blocks. And letting you know when the Christmas Figs starts!
Are you going to sew Merry & Bright with me?
I use this GREAT Rolling cart to help me keep projects straight! Other colors HERE

did I miss the aurifil bom for Febuary? March 15 is coming up and I don’t want to get to far behind. Im doing threadology too, and flower bouquet.
Looking forward to this “Merry and Bright sew along😌. I may even have to do double, as my stash of Christmas fabric is, well, more than enough😁
Since I already get the SS2 patterns do I need to sihn up each time a new group is offered. By the way I just love you site! You are the best!
I just found you! I have signed up for the email notifications of the M&B quilt. I have two questions: are the blocks the same ones on the cover of the Fig magazine? (I was a bit confused if that quilt is for the M&B or an earlier one). Also, is it possible to use precuts instead of the fat quarter bundle?
Thank you for giving to the quilting community in such a generous manner. I am on my second quilt so I’m still a beginner but I’m hopeful I can keep up!
Peace & Joy
Would love to join your merry quilters for this Sewalong
