Welcome to Sunday Sip & Stitch! Sewing is sew much more fun (see what I did there?!) shared with others! Join us once a month on Sunday morning for a quilt-along, or just open sew if quilting isn't for you. We'll enjoy coffee or tea while we work our way through a pre-selected quilt pattern in the company of other amazing sewists. If quilting isn't your jam, grab your W.I.P (work in progress) and hang out with us while we fill our metaphorical cups with crafts and out literal cups with coffee. Feel free to stay the entire time or come and go as you please.
Our first self paced Quilt-Along Pattern will be Embroidery Flower Quilt by Tilda Fabric, which is a free quilt pattern. The pattern can be found here: (Embroidery Flower Quilt Downloadable PDF Quilt Pattern | Free PDF by Tilda Fabrics | Fat Quarter Shop(https://www.fatquartershop.com/embroidery-flower-quilt-downloadable-pdf-quilt-pattern-free-pdf-by-tilda-fabrics)). There is no homework here - work on as little or as much of the quilt as you'd like whenever you like! If you have found us after the September start, jump on in at any time!
Please note that this is NOT a quilting class. Our events do not include instruction but we are happy to offer advice and assist with troubleshooting or decision making!
Attendees will need to bring their own sewing machine, notions and materials for quilting. We will have communal pressing and cutting areas (but feel free to bring a tabletop mat and iron and your own cutting mat if you'd like) and a selection of scrap cotton. Additionally, for this particular pattern we will have 2" square die cutters available for use to help speed up the cutting process.
Tiffany, our co-host, was gracious enough to create a spreadsheet of the needed fabrics (there are a lot of colors in this quilt) with a fat quarter conversion so you can get a feel for how much of each color you need. If you'd like a copy of that spreadsheet just shoot me or Tiffany a message and we'll get it to you!
If quilting is not your thing, or if this pattern doesn't tickle your fancy - please feel free to come and work on whatever your heart desires. Our intent is to create a welcoming, collaborative, communal sewing space for anyone interested.
Sewing can be a solitary hobby, but it doesn't have to be!
