Sew Out Loud QAL

Hello everybody! Me and Julianna from Sewing Under Rainbow wanted to organize together some blog event. After long planning, finding talented designers and wonderful sponsors we can present you Sew Out Loud Quilt Along:

Witam wszystkich. Polska wersja bedzie zwiezla i dosc krotka. Ja i Julianna z Sewing Under Rainbow chcialysmy organizowac cos wspolnie. Wymyslilysmy 'Sew Out Loud' quiltalong (QAL), czyli 'takie szyj razem z nami'. Tematem jest szycie ze slowami - uzycie materialow w litery, slowa, czy szycie blokow ze slowami PP. No i to wszystko jeszcze dodatkowo zwiazane bedzie z samym tematem szycia. W projekcie bierze udzial 11 blogerek (lista jest ponizej). Kazda z nas zaprojektuje jeden blok zwiazany z tematyka QAL i pokaze tutek do niego. Na 12 blok zorganizujemy konkurs (10 lutego napisze wiecej szczegolow na temat konkursu). Zebralismy wspanialych sponsorow naszego QAL (fotki nagrod ponizej. Zwyciezca konkursu na 12 blok wyloniony przez jurora otrzyma Grand Prize, a 2 ostatnie to nagrody w rozdawajce ktora rozpoczyna sie dzis; szczegoly na koncu postu).

Eleven bloggers will create a unique 12" block (12.5” unfinished). For the 12th block we will make a contest, so you will be our 12th designer! There will be fabulous prizes to win in the contest and to spice up the competition, the incredibly talented judge will choose the grand winner - sty tuned for the details!

The theme of the QAL is Sew Out Loud {quilters’ wordplay}. Each of the quilt blocks presented by the designers will be related to sewing and words (egg. objects/scene connected with sewing, blocks sewn with wordy fabrics, pieced words connected with sewing, etc.). 

Fat Quarter Shop generously offered to sponsor fabrics for making tutorials during QAL!

Each week you'll find the block instructions available on designer’s blog. Within 2,5 month you will be able to complete the whole quilt top.

Here is the schedule for Sew Out Loud QAL. On the respective date, you will be able to find the block tutorial on the specified blog. You can also check back here anytime, to find links to the tutorials!
