As the weather gets colder (and living near Chicago, believe me...it gets COLD!), I start thinking about spending time stitching near a warm fire. This winter, I invite you to join me in this tradition by joining the Winter Stitching Club!
Each Monday in December, January and February club members will receive a new tiny pattern to stitch, make into a quilted hexagon, and then combine them all into a snowflake-shaped table mat! Have a busy December? Don't worry! Each week's pattern is quick to stitch or catch up on when things calm down in January.
The patterns will be a surprise, but you can expect to see some snowy things, items to keep you warm, and even a few friends that you might spot in the snow! The designs are not holiday related, but are simply some of my favorite winter things.
Previous Seasonal Stitching Clubs have used English paper piecing, but this time around we're doing something a little different...but that still uses hexagons! For this Winter Stitching Club, we'll make quilted hexagons. They're great because each hexagon is self-contained, which makes it even easier to put together at the end. (If you want to still use English paper piecing, the patterns remain the same size as in previous clubs!)
When you purchase your club membership, you'll be able to download the welcome PDF immediately. In that PDF you'll find the complete supply list, plus instructions for making quilted hexagons. Each pattern PDF will be emailed to club members on Mondays, starting December 2nd.
The price for Seasonal Stitching Clubs is just $8.00.
I was wondering if there is anything holiday/religious themed in the hexagons in December.
ReplyDeleteNo, just winter things. Snowy tree, red bird, hot cocoa kinds of things...
DeleteHi Mollie, this time I purchase the club membership on time :) and thank you so much for the awesome deal you are giving us :) I am sending you a private email please watch out for it :) thanks looking foward to work with you :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mollie, is it suitable for beginners? I can do basic embroidery but Ive never quilted but I can use a sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Yes! This uses basic steps that are easy to learn. And if have any questions along the way, I'm available to help!
DeleteSo excited!!! Cannot wait! I just went and purchased everything today. My local store only had sullivans embroidery floss. Has anyone else ever used it?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
DeleteThe colors look all right... I think it should be fine. As an aside, My daughter is absolutely convinced that the 3 inch hoop must be hers, since it's so much smaller than my other. Thanks, can't wait 'till the second!
DeleteHi, I am wondering what the best way to transfer the embroidery images to the linen would be? I love this stitching club!! I can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteI'm using Sulky Sticky Solvy, which is printable, but also very easy to trace onto with a pencil. The best part is that it's easy to see when stitching on the linen. You can find it on Amazon and I'm sure you'll use it a lot!
DeleteI'm in! I may have missed the bit where you said, but when do we get the pattern emails so that I can make sure i don't overlook it?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah
uh, it says right there, Mondays, starting December 2nd. Will I get the images I have missed already?
ReplyDeleteYes! You'll get all of the patterns even though you register after the 2nd.
DeleteHi - Can I still join the winter stitching club????? I have moved and been off line for several months. I LOVE all your designs. I look forward to hearing from you. Keep warm!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! You can still sign up! You'll get all of the past patterns right away, and then start getting the remaining designs through the end of February.
DeleteHi Mollie!
ReplyDeleteI am brand new to embroidery and sewing, as In never done it but I'd like to try this. May I still get the PDF's the frist week in March? Thanks so much! HAPPY FRIDAY! :)
Hey! If you sign up, you'll get all of the winter patterns so far...there's just one more coming out on Monday.
DeleteHi, just finding these now. Is it too later to sign up for these?
