Dapple Quilt Pattern

 

Say hi to this month's quilt pattern, called Dapple.

I'll be sharing my assembly process on social media throughout the month. If this resonates with you, then make sure you are following me on either Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and/or Snapchat. You can find me on all of those platforms as @bysandraclemons.

Free Valentine's Day Cards

 

Friends, I have a free Valentine's Day cards printable for you as a download on my website. There are 4 types of card to choose from. Each page has the same design duplicated 4 times. Print as many as you need onto card stock at home, then cut them apart. Do all 4 or just one, it is up to you.

When you have downloaded the pdf, you'll notice each type of card is duplicated 4 times for each page. Choose to print four types or just one. Print as many pages as you need and be sure to select "fit" in page setup.

For this card, all you need is a bag of red Starburst. After you have printed and cut out the cards, then glue or tape a starburst onto each card.

For this card, you'll need a package or two (depending on how many cards you're making) of pencils or pens. After you have printed and cut out the cards, I used my rotary blade cutter to make two 1" cuts to insert and hold the pencil. I have a rotary blade cutter for paper use only. I keep my nice one for fabrics. 

After you have printed and cut out the desired number of cards, then simply buy a bag of squishies. Simple glue or tape a squishy on each card.

For this final card, buy a bag of hair ties. Use washi tape to attach the hair tie to the card.

When you have made your desired number of cards, fill in the "from" and "to." Now you're ready to deliver this adorable card to friends.

Sandra's JANUARY Newsletter Recap

 H E L L O  +  R E C A P

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year. I'm so grateful for your encouragement and support when I refocused my business to deliver you free quilt patterns in May of 2021. With thoughtful content and careful planning, I've been able to produce for you, monthly quilt patterns and assembly content on my social media outlets. During December, I was able to reflect on all that we've accomplished and created. Look at all of the beautiful quilts we made this year. (Quilt patterns are available for sale through my website.)

















Now is the time to look ahead, for my newsletter subscribers, I'll continue to provide you with  free quilt patterns. I'm looking seriously at starting up a YouTube channel to help you assemble with visuals. Stayed tuned. In addition, I'll provide monthly art printables and weekly words of encouragement. 

This month's free quilt pattern is called Sanctuary. See more about Sanctuary below.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Say hi to this month's quilt pattern, called Sanctuary.

Hello. The Sanctuary quilt pattern was inspired by the Red Cross organization and volunteerism. The pattern is an easy peasy quilt to assemble. We will cut and sew with the straight of grain. The quilt is set on point. Think about going through your scraps to increase your variety of fabrics to add more interest to your quilt. I’d encourage you to think of a color palette of 3 colors to harmonize your quilt. Read through the instructions carefully before beginning. 

I'll be sharing my assembly process on social media during the month. If this resonates with you, then make sure you are following me on either Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and/or Snapchat. You can find me on all of those platforms as @bysandraclemons.
