Episode 101: Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along with Kimberly Jolly of Fat Quarter Shop

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this episode, Sherri and Chelsi welcome back Kimberly Jolly of Fat Quarter Shop to talk all about the Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along. This year's Make-A-Wish charity quilt features Sherri and Chelsi's Strawberry Lemonade fabric. There is also a special navy print made especially for this quilt's background. This quilt pattern is free to anyone who wants to join along, but Kimberly hopes that everyone who gets the pattern will donate at least the cost of the pattern ($10) to the Make-A-Wish foundation. The quilt along will begin shortly after the Strawberry Lemonade fabric ships to stores. We anticipate it will begin in February or early March of 2024.
Sherri and Chelsi also ask Kimberly about her sewing routines and how she manages her personal sewing, her business, and her family time. Kimberly then shares her insights on the current state of the quilting industry and discusses some trends she sees heading into the new year. More information on the Moonbeams charity quilt, and a link to donate to the Make-A-Wish foundation, can be found below.

    Terrific interview with Kimberly Jolly. I've tried the Oliso iron for my pet biz and was going through 2 to 3 irons a year until I got my Rowenta steam iron, so may try the iron Kimberly was talking about. I buy a lot of fabric for my biz, but as a monthly treat to myself subscribe to the fat quarter shop monthly box. The more I see the make a wish quilt, the more I like it. I made last years make a wish quilt and donated it to a hospital charity organization. They loved it.

    When you guys started talking about escape rooms with Kimberly Jolly I knew I had to tell you about the Escape room adventure that I nicknamed “Grandmas’s Basement Quilt Mystery” I created for my kids this last Christmas for a family group activity. I made the blocks for Edyta SItar’s Alaska quilt and locked each group of 4 blocks away in different places in my house with either combination locks or keyed locks. I then created fun interactive puzzles they had to solve to find the key or combination for the locks. There were a total of 13 puzzles they had to solve to unlock the blocks. Each of the four block groups were marked and there was a key code that they also had to put together and solve that showed where all the blocks were to be placed on my giant design wall that would reveal the quilt design. The puzzles all involved things that I had around my house from my grown kids childhood. I even made a baby quilt that had the code in fabrics that coordinated with one of the puzzles to one of the locks. It took me over 4 months of planning to put it all together and I had a ball.

    I "clean up" my fabric at the end of a quilt project. I use men's shirts as the backs of pillows. But I don't want to waste the left over fabric from from the shirts so I'll take the leftovers and cot it up into the sizes I use like 5, 4, 2.5, and 1.5. Then I do the same with projects.

    For the creative grid rulers, I thought of an idea to make a wooden box with a drawer for smaller rulers and on top of the box, raised slot holders (like square trim you would use for shelving to hold dish plates), for the larger rulers to display and for easy access. I just need someone’s carpenter husband to make it. Lol! Great interview - love Kimberly’s interview. She is just so open and funny!
