Raise the Curtain!

Presenting Twinkle, Twinkle for Quilt Concert 2023

Cassandra Beaver of The (not so) Dramatic Life and I have chosen 9 quilt block designs, all with starry features to entice beginners and experienced quilters.  The vast negative space allows for quilting exploration in the night sky.

Each Friday we will post the instructions for a block on our blogs, and that block will be FREE FOR ONE WEEK! The following week, a new block pattern will be released, and the block from the previous week will no longer be free.

If you miss a block, the block only pattern is available to purchase for $2 in our Etsy stores through the end of the Concert Tour.

If you would like to purchase this pattern in its entirety, it will be available at Quilt Pattern Mart for $18 starting June 2nd 2023 for all our Concert Goers who want a head start working on the blocks! Don’t forget to use QuiltConcert2023 for 20% off, good through June 9th on all our patterns in the Quilt Concert Shop.

Cassandra and I are so excited to hang out with you this summer as you create your version of Twinkle Twinkle.  Or, if you like our colorways, Cassandra has fabric bundles available for you all ready to go.

There are lots of fantastic prizes this year! Each time you finish the goal for the week, post a picture on Instagram using the hashtags for that week, and you will have a chance to win that week’s prize. (More on this next week!)

This year’s quilt focuses on learning how to paper piece and we are thrilled to introduce our first sponsor, Carolina Moore with her new tools specially designed to help remove the papers.

The Foundation Piecing Water Pen and Precisions Tweezers are a must have when foundation paper piecing. Carolina has offered one lucky Concert Goer a set of these tools.

To enter, post the I’m attending badge using the hashtag #quiltconcert2023 Make you are following me, Cassandra, and Carolina in order to win. Carolina has offered to ship world wide.

(please note that international winners will be responsible for any duties/fees on their end)

We will also continue hosting our Friday Night PJ Jam Zooms.  This year we have added a surprise, so make sure you are receiving my weekly newsletter to get the zoom link for that Friday night.  This link changes every week, stay in touch!

Looking Back

It’s that time of year again! The third annual Quilt Concert is almost upon us!!!

Cassandra Beaver of The (not so) Dramatic Life, and I, decided to host a quilt along during the summer of 2021. Filled with weekly Zoom Parties and Prizes it became an event we decided we would continue every year.

And now, here we are, 2023 and we are finishing up the quilt tops, getting sponsors organized, and thinking of new ways to spice things up.

We call it a concert because it was a concerted effort between the two of us, and I love to play on the idea of a musical concert. You may have noticed that from the titles of the past quilts.

First we had, well…. FIRST NOTES. Another play on words as it was our first quilt along and is also in the Sound of Music. You may remember the very first notes are do-re-mi. LOL!!!

That year I made two versions. One with various prints and another using solids and an Ice-dyed Tula Pink print. Both have been quilted, one may still need binding. Shhhhhhh…..

2022 was our Seasons of Love pattern. This year we added an opportunity for Concert Goers to vote on our colorways which we based on holidays. My options were Christmas or Valentines. Here was the winning colorway.

Cassandra and I enjoyed having you all vote for our colors so much we did it again this year. Just as a reminder, here is this year’s colorway that I am working with.

Let’s add to the excitement of the upcoming release!!! From now until June 2nd, First Notes and Seasons of Love are 20% off at Quilt Pattern Mart using code QUILTCONCERT2023

Are you excited yet? We are!!!

Lovingly, Lissa
