This week I finally get to show you my finished shop hop quilt that is currently on display at Hip Stitch in Albuquerque, NM. There were 10 participating shops, and each one created a unique block and also created a unique layout for all 10 shop blocks, and this was my take on the theme "Enchanting" while staying true to the Hip Stitch "vibe". You can tell I'm still kinda tired from the last couple of weeks of preparation and longer store hours, but I'm very happy with how both my block and my quilt layout were received by customers.

The shop hop block kits and all related patterns and kits are available on the Hip Stitch website (or will be soon).

You can learn more about Scrappy Sewcial also on the Hip Stitch Website.

Believe it or not, this video was NOT sponsored by Hip Stitch, I just work there, and much of the sewing/crafting I do tends to be related to my time there.

This week I show off a sneak peek at the Bird Watcher BoM September bird and talk a bit about my first Dresden, but mostly talk about the 2024 Albuquerque Shop Hop happening this Thursday-Saturday. I finally get to show you the block I designed for Hip Stitch and I spill the beans about the cool prizes you have a chance to win if you turn in a completed passport by Saturday at 5pm at any of the participating shops. Next week I'll be able to link directly to the block kits, pillow kits/patterns, and quilt layout kits/instructions.

Let's go to the hop, y'all!

This week I show my completed August blocks from the TTMT Internet Sampler Block of the month, Twisted Pinwheel and Monster Teeth, designed by Michelle of Corner Curve Quilts. I also show my completed August block from the Wonderfil Bird Watcher Block of the Month, the Pine Grosbeak, and a photo of my previous 6 birds from that BoM that I’ve already sewn together into rows. I’ve finished the sampler quilt I designed for Hip Stitch featuring the blocks designed by all 10 shops and it will be on display next week during the ABQ Shop Hop.

Stay Crafty y’all!
