Happy December! ‘Tis the season for handmade holidays . . . and being incredibly busy. That’s why I’m excited to announce a super-fun and simple quilt along that you can easily take part in, no matter how much more shopping, wrapping and baking you have to do!

Mosaic Tiles Quilt Along

Next Monday, 12/9 through 2/14 (that’s Valentine’s Day for all you romantics!), Craft Buds is hosting the Mosaic Tiles Quilt Along! This beginner-friendly quilt pattern was designed by Sukie for my book, Modern Bee—13 Quilts to Make with Friends.

Mosaic Tiles

Participants are not limited to making quilts, however. We’d love to see what you can create based on the original Mosaic Tiles block design. Is it a holiday stocking or tree skirt? How about an eBook cover or messenger bag? Whip up a mini quilt for your Valentine, an apron for your sister or your own quilt design inspired by the block. Anything goes, as long as you create a finished item!

During the 10-week quilt along, we’ll be sharing project inspiration, quilting tips and layout options with lots of help from our friends. If you don’t have time to get started in December, we invite you to go ahead and sign up anyway! You can join us in 2014 with plenty of time to finish a project before mid-February. Here’s the schedule:

Lindsay

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.

    I am addicted to quiltalongs! I told myself I was going to cut down my WIPS for 2014. I LOVE this QA!!! Of course I’m in. But then again, my other goal for 2014 was to bust my scraps. This looks like the perfect QA for me. Count me in for somewhere between a double or a queen-sized quilt. Whohoo!

      Margaret, I think a quilt top works, or a smaller project that is quilted and bound! We’re keeping it low key, here. Would love to see your finished projects when they are wrapped up, though, even if it’s after the date!

    Yay, I was able to finish and linkup today. I wish it wasn’t so dark and gloomy outside, but this is the best photo I could get with today’s light. Thank you for hosting this fun QAL!

    Lindsay, I just wanted to let you know that your book “Modern Bee” is wonderful. It has inspired me beyond belief. My quilt using the Mosaic Tiles pattern is still under construction. I got a late start. Ha! Ha! I sent a pic via facebook of some of my finished blocks. I have had so much fun admiring all of finished projects. Are you planning to host another event soon??? If so, I’m in!
