“I Love Home” Block of the Month (BOM) quilt along. Sewing LIVE from start to finish. Plus a GIVEAWAY!

It’s time for a new project over on Facebook Live. Yay!


Tonight we’ll be starting the Jaquelynne Steves, “I Love Home” Block of the Month (BOM) quilt along.


The project is the second in my Designer Series on the Penguin & Fish Facebook Live #RelaxAndCraft show.


For the “I Love Home” BOM, we’ll be stitching the cutest embroidered / appliquéd house blocks into the sweetest quilt. There are 4 blocks total that will be sent to your email every month. If you’re signed up, you should have received your first block in your email today.






I’ll be filming the whole process from beginning to end on Facebook Live. That means everything from cutting my fabric, to each embroidery and appliqué stitch, to sandwiching my quilt, and binding.


The awesome thing about working on a project Live is that we all get to help each other out while we work. If you have any questions, I’ll be able to answer them on the spot. And if I don’t know what to do, I bet one of the lovely people in the chat, just like you, will be able to help. There are some new-to-me techniques in this project (like half-rectangle triangles) and I may need a little hand holding. I’ll be there to hold yours as well.

This is going to be fun!

And for some more fun…

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  14. Appreciate your video very much. Always interesting to see how others select fabrics. However, it makes me think of a trip to Paducah, when one of my friends said, "Patti is helping me . . . make her stop!" And when several of us tried to locate suitable "cat" fabrics, she said, "Have any of you ever seen a cat?" All good fun!

  17. Cutting is also the scariest thing for me. I dread that first slice of fabric--always afraid I will mess it up. Hoping to win some Aurifil thread as I have been wanting to try it but my budget is really tight as a retiree.
