Sparkler BOM Month 4 Member Makes

Block of the Month Program· Sewing with Triangles· Uncategorized

18 May

Sparkler BOM Month 4 member makes are here! Month 4 features three filler blocks to complete the quilt’s center medallion. Center medallions create big *ta-da* moments around here!

More Quilt finishes

Everyone makes progress in their own ways and on their timetable, not mine. I was sooo excited to see the finishes of other BOM quilts like Wildflower and Solstice. GAH! A beautiful quilt is welcome here anytime.

Celebrating Sparkler BOM MOnth 4 Member Makes

As the Sparkler BOM month 4 member makes were posted in the community, we glimpsed into the future (only this quilt’s future – sorry!) and liked what we saw! While the center medallion blocks came into view, the wait was almost made bearable.

While we seesawed between celebration and anticipation…

Our expansion block pack was released to members and they happily dug in this past month. The 12-block expansion pack features bonus modern triangle blocks. In fact, you’ll see a few below in the gallery. You will also see blocks from previous months as members join in.

Ready for a look-see?!

This sweet, springy print triangle speaks to me!

I love yellows and value play between them. And the prints give this pattern a new look.

I am so excited for our members! You did it!

I’ve just released Month 5 – instructions for assembling the center medallion – and we’ll start our creative break this month. We’ll catch up on blocks or create new versions with Sparkler triangles in our first ever “Pillow Fight”! (I’ll post some pics next month).

We’re almost halfway there – stay tuned for more Sparkler sparkle!

    Lynn K. That solstice block is outstanding. The subtle shading of purples and greens is utterly masterful.
    I loved so many of these finished, blocks , and the ones that are on their way to completion are truely invigorating. Makes me want to get on with the baby quilt.

This time of year in the sewing room is always so This time of year in the sewing room is always so lovely. 

We FINALLY get to have the windows open, the world outside is getting colorful again, and the extra daylight is a big bonus. 

This is my recipe for a PERFECT April sewing day...

✨ Self care: plan meals/snacks for eating right & getting your exercise (booooooo! I know, I know.) Maybe a fun wee treat tho!?

✨ Entertainment: if it’s just you, get your show/ sporting event/ audible, etc. Or if you’re with your quilty buds, you know what to do! Sew, gab, laugh!

✨ Something you’re excited to sew: latest bingeable project at the ready!? Latest fabric stack that arrived in the post? Or...finally get that WIP d.u.n!

✨ Essential responsibilities taken care of: feed the dog, respond to that time-sensitive email, dinner for the fam? Take care of what you must get done so you can check out more completely.

Finally, set a timer for your hard stop time.

I set my alarm for when I need to pick up my kiddos from school. That way, I can get carried away by my creativity and indulge in “me” time!

Shut the laptop, check out, it’s sew time! 🧵 Everything else on your to-do list can wait. It is time for you!

What are you working on for a perfect April sewing day? ⬇️

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

One thing that will NEVER get old with freezer paper piecing... ⬇️

The number of blocks I can sew from just ONE foundation! 🙌

It always amazes me, and it’s one of my favorite things about the technique. 

I save so much time not having to make a new foundation for every single block, and that’s not to mention the time saved from not having to rip the paper bits of those foundations out of the seams. ✨

I’m hosting a free class where I teach you this technique, and give you a modern triangle block pattern to start sewing!

Spring is in the AIR! (and in the sewing room!) 🌸 Spring is in the AIR! (and in the sewing room!) 🌸 🪡

Here’s a photo dump of some of my favorite quilts that feel like spring. 😍

This season is always so inspiring, as everything starts to come back like, you can open the windows in the sewing room, and the whole world just gets more colorful and bright. ✨

There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting wor There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting world to finish what we started. 👇

But if you’re stuck staring at a stack of unfinished blocks, and it’s keeping you out of the sewing room because it’s the last thing you want to sew right now, this is the advice that I would give you. 

It’s okay to put a project down for a while. 🫶

I’ve had projects and quilts that sat folded up for weeks… months… even longer. Projects I avoided because I got stuck, or lost momentum, or honestly just wasn’t in the mood to sew that anymore. AND IT’S OKAY! 🙌

Every single time I came back to them after putting them down for a while, I felt that spark for sewing again. I felt the inspiration that I started the project with, and I started ENJOYING it again. ✨

So if you have something that you’re avoiding sewing, let this be your permission slip to just put it down and know that you’ll come back to it when the time is right. 

Put your favorite emoji in the comments if you needed to hear this. 💕
