It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! Please read the following important instructions to join our FREE Winter Twist stitch-a-long!
Winter Twist is the last of our seasonal wall hanging series– Spring, Summer, and Autumn are already finished. (Click the links at the end of this post if you’re new and would like to see the other three– they are 50% off!)
Winter Twist will be in the exact same format– we’ll be releasing four free blocks randomly over the course of December and January. Then there will be a finishing kit with borders and instructions on how to stitch your project together as always.
This year, instead of charging for the finishing kit, we’re asking you to help with our social media presence– support us without spending a dime! For this week, we’re asking you to click the blue FOLLOW button located on the right–
You are NOT signing up for emails at all– it is just a number that helps us shows how many people are interested in our blog and increases our social media profile. You might be surprised to know we have up to 2,000 readers– our number of Followers and comments does not reflect that at all. We’re not setting a goal– it stands at 123 this morning– see if you can change that– it helps the algorithms more than you know, and we’d love to do a free finishing kit this year!
Of course, a special thanks to our 123 original followers! If you would like to be notified of new posts, enter your email above. Or just bookmark this page and check back occasionally. The blog is full of sewing inspiration, quilt kits, tips, cross stitch, machine embroidery and reflections on our new life and studio in Sugar Meadow, in the foothills of the Western Maine mountains. We’ve come a long way from San Francisco!– we’d love to hear from you as well.
That’s all we have to say about that! We all want to get stitching. So here’s just a couple quick facts about our FREE stitch-a-long you’ll want to know:
The four blocks will release at random, but they will be free for an entire week. So if you just pick a day to check the website, say Monday, over the course of the next couple of months you won’t miss anything. If you want to make sure not to miss one– just join our mailing list at the bottom right of the website homepage. Or check this blog. After the free week is over, the design will be for sale on the website for $1.99.
Pick a medium or darker color fabric for your background– all of our creatures will be WHITE and won’t show up on light fabrics. We chose a medium grunge gray. Blues, purples, pinks, or any neutral would also make good backgrounds. You’ll need four squares of 8″ x 8″ for the four blocks. Don’t worry about sashing fabric for now. Trim your blocks to 6″ x 6″ and tear or cutaway extra stabilizer when finished.
Post your blocks on our Facebook group or Instagram with the hashtag #wintertwistblock and we’ll find you and cheer you on! Ask any questions here with a comment.
Without further ado– the King of the Ice!
