Serendipity Quilt Along

 

The kick off for the Serendipity quilt along has arrived.  Are you sewing along with either the quilt along or stitch along?

If you are unfamiliar with the Serendipity quilt along, you can read all about it here.  I plan to sew along using Apricot & Ash fabrics and you can read more about my fabrics and the skus you’d need to use Apricot & Ash here.

This is the stack of fabrics that I will be using:

Instead of using Moda Bella solid in 9900-200 for my background I am using the white tone on tone from Sugarcreek for my background.  It is the prettiest little flower print and I quite like it with the Apricot & Ash prints.  It’s the same background print I used on the larger Beholden block below.

If you wanted to use a tone on tone white for your blocks just to give them a little bit of something special, the Spring Brook orange peel print is very pretty.  As I’ve mentioned before, I really like using a white/white print for backgrounds–they press up so nicely within a block.  And they give it such a nice finish.

I can’t wait to see all of your Serendipity Spring Brook quilts start popping up.  Since the quilt that I am making will be auctioned off along with Kimberly’s quilt, I wanted to use something different.  I think Apricot & Ash will be so pretty!

You can find the information for the first row of the Serendipity quilt here.

These are the blocks that I have created for Row 1.

And my bocks sewn together:

The first row is finished!

Kimberly will be hosting a video tutorial on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube channel for making this row tomorrow (03/11/2021) if you’d like some tips.  You can tune in here.

And, in addition to the Serendipity quilt along, there is a stitch along.  The details for this can be found on the Fat Quarter Shop blog.

And lastly, I wanted to share about my brand new Spring Brook selvage mugs.  In case you are making your Serendipity quilt in Spring Brook and you want to sip and sew in style!

They feature the little bee prints on one side of the mug and the quote from the selvage on the other side of the mug.

And they come in Blue or Yellow.

I think they are just the cutest mugs.  I plan to release more selvage mugs to coordinate with my future fabric collections and have some plans for previous collections as well.

The mugs are available for purchase in my Etsy shop.  Please note that patterns and mugs ship separately should you happen to place an order that includes both.

I am looking forward to sewing along with all of you during the Serendipity quilt along!  Have a wonderful Wednesday! Corey
