Are you ready for the second half of Hayes Corner? This week we are making the Hayes Four Patch Corner. It goes pretty much like last week’s block, except there are four patches where the Half Square Triangles were.

Sorry about the digital drawing, this is the one block I forgot to grab a photo of when I was making them. LOL!!

Once again, please be aware of color placement, and directional placement when you sew the whole quilt top together!

Remember!!!! These instructions are only available for free until July 3rd at midnight Eastern. After that time you will be able to purchase them for $2 at ShoppeLovinglyLissa for a limited time.

Sew Fine Thread gloss is something you will find pretty much any place I sit and sew in my home. Don’t believe me? Here are a few photos I just went through my Instagram account and found.

I also have a little tutorial on my Instagram account on how to melt it back down and clean out the lint if it starts to get a little fuzzy! That small blue tin up there is almost empty, it is a lovely Pina Colada scent.

Why do I use Sew Fine for hand stitching? Honestly, it keeps the thread from tangling and knotting up. I feel like I can cut slightly longer threads because of that. I really do have three tins around my house and a few more unopened waiting their turn. It’s great to have them where ever I sit to sew.

Sew Fine is going to send one set of three tins to a lucky winner this week! USA and CANADA residents are eligible!

Woot! Woot!

It’s time to get started with the Quilt Concert 2022 Quilt Along. I am so excited for us!

As you have seen by now, my quilt is a lovely red/pink colorway for Valentine’s day. I’ve always wanted a red quilt, but I have always been terrified of the colors bleeding in the wash. These Painter’s Palette solids from PBS Fabrics were washed in hot water with color catchers and didn’t leave any dye behind, so I think I’m safe! Cassandra has this bundle for sale in her Etsy Shop if you would like to recreate it!

Are you ready to get started?

Remember!!!! These instructions are only available for free until June 5th at midnight Eastern. After that time you will be able to purchase them for $2 at ShoppeLovinglyLissa
