Unveiling the Cabin Spark SAL Quilt Adventure!

Christmas sewing anyone?🌲🎁

Since launching my first fabric collection with Art Gallery Fabrics back in 2014, I’ve been designing quilt patterns that highlight my fabric prints in a simple yet unique way, always using traditional piecing techniques.

With the release of my Adventale fabric collection this year, I wanted to design a quilt that feels easy to sew and simple to organize, but still results in something truly special and beautiful. 

The original Cabin Spark quilt made with Adventale fabrics (pictured on the quilt pattern cover) was stunningly pieced by my friend Alicia from Wild Blooms Quilt Co., and I’m so excited to finally be making my own version alongside you, using my Adventale prints with addition of a few prints from the Plentiful collection, to add a mix of green-ish prints;).

Adventale is a cozy, Christmas-inspired collection that includes a few unique panels—perfect for creating handmade gifts. For this sew along, I’ll be working with the Welcome Home panel, which I designed especially with this quilt in mind.

The original Cabin Spark quilt also features the Alphabet panel, using the letters XMAS across the center row. You’re welcome to follow that idea, or make it your own by using something else for your 6" centers—perhaps a small quilt block, a fussy-cut print, or even a solid piece of fabric if you’d prefer to keep things simple and avoid directional orientation.

The Cabin Spark quilt pattern should be appealing to a wide range of skill levels although all my patterns are written for the beginner to advanced beginner/ intermediate sewer. The SAL will start on October 24, but there will be the giveaway on Instagram sponsored by AGF happening on October 22-24, so make sure to follow my IG account. 

There will be another giveaway during the first week of November, generously offered by Golden Girls Fabric Co with the FQ bundle of my newly released Barcelona Fabrics!

Because this quilt design is both precut- and scrap-friendly, the fabric requirements—and the quantities needed—will depend on the size of quilt you choose to make (unless you’re diving into your scrap bin, which is a fantastic option for this pattern!).

For my throw-size version, as stated in the requirements table, I used a mix of 20 different fabrics for the logs, 1 fabric for the stars, and 2 fabric-panels for the block centers.

I am making my quilt using FQs for the logs and as this version has 20 blocks, I will be using 20 FQs.

So, what is sew-along?

 

The sew-along is collaborative event where participants follow a specific pattern or design to create a quilt together. It's a fantastic way to learn new sewing techniques, complete projects and connect with other sewing enthusiasts. 
I will provide the preparatory instructions, fabric options/color palettes, post videos and diagrams that will help you complete this fun quilt pattern! 

According to the following schedule, I will make a blog post each week with a video follow-up. 
If you have any thoughts, questions or suggestions, please just post them in the comments, either on my blog or on Instagram. 

While you will be able to learn how to create the blocks, you will still need to get the pattern, if you already didn't. 

 

Cabin Spark quilt-along schedule:

 

• Week 1, October 24 - Kickoff + Fabric Pull 
• Week 2, October 31 - Cutting Party
• Week 3, November 7 - Block Construction
• Week 4, November 14 - Layout + Assembly
• Week 5, November 21 - Quilting + Finish

 

Throughout the sew-along, I will be glad to provide guidance and address any issues that you may encounter. 
To gather all the projects, pics, comments and information together, please just use the hashtag #cabinsparkSAL on Instagram.

I hope that you will join me during this Christmas sewing event and that you will enjoy the process and have fun! 

If you are interested in purchasing the fabric KIT and make the quilt using the same fabrics as I will, you can find the kit in these two shops:

• Golden Girls Fabric company - US

• Tulips 'n Quilts - Canada

Can’t wait to start this SAL and make something beautiful — hopefully with you sewing along too!
