I'm so excited to announce that the 9th annual Jen Daly Quilts Christmas Quilt-Along will start on Monday, November 27th. This year's project was inspired by New England's winter weather and the cozy clothes we bundle up in to keep us warm when it's cold outside.
We'll be making a 26¾" x 53¼" sampler quilt. It's a bit longer than a typical wall-hanging—more like a banner—but it's the perfect size to hang on a door. We're going to celebrate the cold by making a knit hat, merry mittens, snug socks and four different "snowflakes"—and for a little extra chill (and because I had so much fun piecing letters during last year's QAL!), we'll throw in the exclamation "Brrr" for good measure.
The Bundle Up Quilt-Along will begin on Monday, November 27th. It's free for all and there's no need to sign up. Every Monday and Thursday through December 21st, I'll release an instruction sheet for a different part of the project. Instruction sheets will be posted on the quilt-along page and email subscribers will receive emails containing links to each day's instructions. If you'd like to sign up for email notifications, you can do so on the quilt-along page. The instruction sheets will be available through the end of December.
**For those of you who'd like to work at your own pace or finish the project earlier (it would make a great gift!), this year I'll also have the complete "Bundle Up" pattern available for download/purchase in my Etsy shop on November 17th.**
I'll do regular posts on Instagram and Facebook using the hashtag #bundleupqal. If you post pictures of your progress, be sure to tag me @jendalyquilts and use the hashtag #bundleupqal—I'd love to see what you come up with!
