Deco Glam Sew-Along DETAILS!
WHERE? On this blog and on the Gingerly Quilt Co Instagram Account!
WHEN? Our "Deco Glam" sew-along will run for 5 weeks, from August 4th to September 7th, with weekly prizes!
WHAT? We'll sew a different section of the pattern each week, with a few more tips and tricks on this blog. By the end of each week, you are welcome to post your progress on Instagram, and cheer each other on!
WEEKLY PRIZES: All public Instagram posts are entered into a raffle for prizes each week, as long as they follow the rules stated in that week's Instagram post. You may also be required to follow that week's sponsor of the prize, which will be clearly spelled out in the Instagram post. If you post each week, you're also eligible to win a GRAND PRIZE at the end of the sew-along!
PATTERN: You can buy the "Deco Glam" pattern on Etsy !
EMAIL REMINDERS: Are you excited to start? If you haven't yet, you can sign up for weekly reminders here
KITS (US): Sewfinity has kits in KONA and Riley Blake fabric and Pear Tree Market has kits in Moda Bella Solids
KITS (Germany): Quiltzauberei has kits in KONA fabrics and Floyd The Fox has kits in AGF fabrics (in cover colors AND in some fun new colorways!)
YOUR OWN FABRIC COMBO: If you want to make your own color combo, you can play on PreQuilt to make your own colorway!
Other supplies you may need are:
- 12" Add-A-Quarter Ruler: Makes FPP so much quicker and seam allowances more consistent
- Your favorite FPP paper - A Throw size quilt uses 72 pieces of paper for templates, so I use a ream of letter sized
Pacon white newspaper. Regular printer paper works as well,
but it is harder to remove at the end.
- Seam presser - I use Clover Roll & Press (I like it because I don't have to have a hot iron next to me when I'm sewing FPP!)
- Batting - I highly recommend a black batting for quilts that have a black background fabric. For quilts with a medium to light background fabric, a natural or white batting is fine!
- A cutting mat that's at least 8" x 24" (bonus points if it fits next to your machine for FPP)
- 50wt thread that matches your background fabric or a neutral grey/dark grey thread works as well.
I’m looking forward to kick this off with you on August 4th!
