Have you seen the Snapshots Quilt Along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop in 2015? It’s been popping up over the last couple of months, teasing our interest. It appears it’s about to go live. I just received notice the introductory video is going up today. Just in case you’re interested. ;-D
Honestly, I’ve told myself I’m not picking up new projects for the first half of this year. I’ve got a lot of unfinished projects still in the works and I have at least two projects planned and prepped. I SO do not need another project!!
But I’ve caved. The blocks in this quilt are precious and, while I love the colorway in the mockup, I will probably choose to go more retro and low volume.. we’ll see. In all honesty, these patterns may be stockpiled for a project later in the year, or next year, or whenever.
What really pushed me over the edge on this one was the opportunity to donate to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital. And to sweeten the pot, FQS and Moda Fabrics have committed to match all donations up to $10,000 that are made through this project. See the donation page for details.
I’ve known more than one person who’s been treated through St Judes’s, but my earliest and dearest was a childhood friend battling leukemia. She fought hard and eventually lost the battle. I remember Beverly as being so kind and generous, one of those truly good souls. We weren’t from an affluent neighborhood and I know her family would have been bankrupt from the treatments if not for St Jude’s. I’m forever grateful for all St Jude’s does for these children and their parents.
My donation is made in honor of my three, healthy, beautiful girls…Jamie, Katie and Betsy. I’m always grateful for the blessings God has given me, but for you three, I’m most grateful of all.
A big thank you to Fat Quarter Shop and to Moda Fabrics for sponsoring this event and matching donations! What a wonderful gift.
