Sew Much Fun Tour

We are participating in another blog hop. It is Quilting Around the Block Sew Much Fun Tour and we are week 38 – with a Bolts of Fabric complimentary block. If you missed the previous blocks, there is a link below to see all of them on the tour website.

This blog hop features 6-1/2″ quilt blocks by designers that feature everything quilting and sewing.

Please go back to our March 28th post to see my March Island Batik Ambassador project. We have two Spring quilt patterns for sale during the month of April. They are Golden Gate Park Table Runner and Spring Friends Table Runner.

This is an appliqué block showcasing three bolts of fabric in yellow, blue and rose. This block can definitely be made by an advanced beginner. If you think that you can’t do it, all I have to say is if an old retired attorney can do it, you can too!

Here is a photo of the Bolts of Fabric block that has been sewn with fabrics from my stash.

I did the blanket stitch machine appliqué around the raw edges of the fabric with my Janome 6600.

If you are new to our website and are interested in downloading a complimentary PDF pattern of our Bolts of Fabric block, all you have to do is look for the box on our blog, on the right hand side, that says “Like this content? Sign up for free updates” and sign up to receive our newsletter. When you have done that, you will receive a welcoming email from us that will contain a coupon code and a link back to the complimentary pattern. If you are on a cell phone, you may need to turn your phone horizontal to see the newsletter signup box. If you still can’t see it, here is a link: newsletter signup. You will act as though you are purchasing the pattern and in the cart, you will apply the coupon code, which will make the pattern free. You will need to fill out contact information, but no payment method will be necessary. Don’t worry, we do not send out newsletters very often and we never sell email addresses or contact information. Here is what the pattern looks like. It is in a format very similar to most Blue Bear Quilt patterns, so if you see what you like in this free pattern, you will like our other patterns as well.

Please note: This pattern will only be complimentary until the end of July 2022. after that it will be available on our website under digital downloadable patterns.

Current newsletter subscribers, don’t despair! You will be able to download the complimentary pattern as well. You have already been sent a newsletter on April 17th which gave you the coupon code.
