Kathleen's Story Quilt

 

Kathleen's Story 

Marcus Fabrics is pleased to present its first Chunk-of-the-Month program, a fresh take on the BOM concept by Chris Schulte of Green Light Quilts. https://www.marcusfabrics.com/category/2-241474/kathleen-s-story/#link-item-241523

There are many Quilt Shops offering this "Chunk Of the Month Program"  All are not the same - some include backing; a discount for completing a "chunk" prior to the next month's release, etc.

A few that I have found:

Blue Hen Quilt - I preordered here, it's about an hour from my house

Keepsake Quilting

Sitchin Heaven

My Favorite Quilt Store 

The Quilted Boutique - very good explanation of the project

I have pre-ordered mine and the first payment is due on February 21st, 2026. I will blog as I go and I am still looking for a buddy to keep me motivated and sewing. Comment if you are interested....

Wait until you see the gorgeous fabrics included with the kit! I keep looking at them and can't decide which is my favorite.

Quilting Penpal

 I'm looking for a Quilting Penpal

About me --- mid 70s, Mother of two, Grandmother of 5. Retired librarian who reads and writes book reviews. I'm a member of two Quilt Guilds and make 1 or 2 quilts a year. I love Shop Hops and collecting fabric. I also love flamingos and Highland Coos. I've been married to the same man for 52 years and we still like each other! (he's a great guy)

Possible Requirements - must be in the USA (due to postal costs) 

• Someone who is looking for a quilting/sewing connection - can communicate through electronic or snail mail. 
• Some days I need motivation and a nudge to get me going
• Share tips and tricks
• Occasional FaceTime or Zoom meeting
• Likes to read and share book suggestions - I once belonged to a Group on Instagram where we shared a book and chose a fat quarter that related to the book and passed it on. Always a nice surprise when it came in the mail. (none of the books were quilt related) 
• No politics or social issues for this connection.  (not due to a lack of interest, just needing a break from reality) 
• Not a lifetime commitment, just an informal friendship to encourage each other! 

If this is something that speaks to you or that you will be interested in....comment and let me know...
