Who else is getting ready for the Sunset Isle QAL starting next month?! If you missed the news last month, the official 2019 QAL was announced – Sunset Isle. It’s a row of the month quilt design, in collaboration with Ava & Neve.
Planning Party
With less than a month until it’s time to get the Party started, we’re starting off with a little pre-party; some pre-dinner drinks if you will, with a Sunset Isle Planning Party happening over on Instagram. We know it’s a busy time of the year, leading up to Christmas, and for those of us with kids here Down Under, heading into summer holidays, so we want to encourage you to start thinking and planning for the year ahead.
And there’s some door prizes for this little shindig too!
First up, I’ve put together this little bundle of goodies that will help you next year:
- Quilter’s Planner Mini – get yourself organised, quite literally!
- Hexagon washi tape to cute-ify your planner
- A Celestial block zipper pouch – a hark back to the Milky Way Sampler, and to get the rainbow juices flowing
- Clearly Perfect Angles seam guide – sits on your sewing machine bed and allows you to accurately sew angled seams without marking them! Perfect for HSTs, flying geese, and easy corner triangles like in Sunset Isle.
- Warm Crochet scissors – these are perfect for snipping threads
- And two enamel pins just for fun – a Jubly-Umph ‘Crafty Girl Gang’ pin (because you’re joining a pretty cool group!), and a Pin Points measuring tape pin (so cute!)
And then stay tuned on Instagram by following myself @blossomheartquilts and Martina @ava_and_neve, because there’ll be some more prizes popping up over the next couple of weeks.
To win, simply share photos of your Sunset Isle planning and prep on Instagram using #sunsetislequilt between now and December 31st to enter! Some ideas of what to share:
- Your fabulous fabric ideas for each row
- Planning your quilt layout with the quilt colouring page
- The binder or plastic sleeve with the pattern cover for storing your printed patterns each month
- Your project tub stocked, labelled, and ready to go
Open internationally. Winners will be announced on Instagram on January 1st.
