If you love to sew or machine embroider as much as we do…especially for the holidays….then come sew with us! We kicked off August with our “Inspire-Along” featuring the “Jingle All The Way” collection for both sewing and machine embroidery. This collection features a gorgeous quilt, table runner, wall hanging, small pillow and a bench pillow! You can learn even more about these projects on THIS blog post!
What is an “inspire-along” you ask? Well…unlike a traditional sew-along, our “inspire-along” is designed to motivate and inspire you to get your “Jingle All The Way” projects done…and by the holidays without having to follow a specific schedule. I mean…raise your hand if your sewing room is bursting with UFO’s! (un-finished objects).
We have set a deadline of Nov. 1st for you to stitch your way to holiday bliss in less than 12 weeks. The best part? You can start where you are…at anytime…and we are all here to help motivate you along! We will post tips and tricks – share images and videos – and help answer questions as you sew. You can start with the quilt…or maybe you just want to do a few of the smaller projects, like the pillows first!
You will want to join our private facebook group – Kimberbells and “fellas” too. This is the place where the inspire-along happens. Just ask to join and we will approve you! Next, you will want to gather your supplies – you will need the sewing book (if you are a sewer) or the machine embroidery CD and book (if you are a machine embroiderer). Check your local shop to see if they are kitting the fabrics or even offering a class to get your started! You can also find a fabric list in THIS blog post.
Love all the Jingle all the way projects.
thank you!
I wrote to ask about Mylar for your Jingle all the way projects and you were great. Next day I had my answer and I got it and made my lights. Thanks so much for such a prompt reply and for being so helpful. Been teaching your bench pillows in classes at my store and everyone loves them. Great directions. Thanks again
Can’t wait to get started. On the jingle all the way projects.
This quilt is wonderful! I have completed all the squares. I just have to do the lights and message cards. I am looking forward to putting it all together. A big “thank you” to Jeremy at Thimble Towne in Bakersfield for promoting this project and encouraging me to finish it.
I am reading the instructions for the quilt and am confused as to whether I use the 4×4 hoop or the 5×7? We bought the embroidery book and fabric kit from you at shop hop and they have been shipped and we are finally getting to the sewing. If I choose the 5×7 does it increase the overall size of the quilt and will I have enough fabric? I am Claudia King and I bought the book and my daughter Glori Thelin bought the fabric kit. This way we can do it together.
HI Claudia – In the pattern book it says which size hoop you will need for each type of quilt block. You will use both 4×4 and 5×7 hoops. Enjoy!
