Hey again! As promised I’m back to tell you about the latest quilt challenge that’s been causing some buzz around the studio lately – The 2023 Moda Charm Pack Challenge! This challenge was designed by Moda to celebrate one of their most popular pre-cuts – the Charm Pack! All you have to do to join the Moda Charm Pack Challenge is start working on a Moda Charm Pack quilt and then share your progress on social media between January 14th and 16th, 2023 using the hashtags #CharmPackChallenge and #CharmPackChallenge2023 . Simple as that! Here’s what the project looks like…
Finished, this quilt will be 32″ x 32″ and take one charm pack to complete (or 42 5″ squares). According to the folks at Moda, the “challenge” part of this is just to get you to push yourself to sew through the weekend while using your favorite charm packs to make this fun and easy quilt along side Moda, and all your online quilting buddies. They will not be voting on the “best” quilt, or picking a number one favorite – this is just for fun. It’s more about being creative and and virtually hanging out with other like-minded creative people for the weekend. Oh, and did I mention the pattern is FREE? Yeppo! The FREE pattern we will be using is the Moda Love Pattern in the CHARM pack size. All you have to do to download it is click the button below!
Since I’m not at home right now I’ll have to miss this challenge, but I know Jess was in the middle of figuring her fabric out when I called the studio to check in. She decided to go with Nantucket Summer, the first solo collection by Camille Roskelley of Moda’s first mother-daughter design team Bonnie & Camille. As you can see, Nantucket Summer is a gorgeous collection of earthy greens, blues and whites. I think it’s a great choice for this challenge – what do you think?
The moda challenge sounds like such fun. Thanks for promoting it, Lisa
I can never get enough Red and White Quilts in my brain, on the cutting table or under the sewing machine needle. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, charm packs. what a wonderful winter weekend of sewing to meet and share the challenge. Thank you Moda and Lisa and Lissa!! Here we go again…. Too much fun.
I think I’m going to try this little quilt. Happy Sewing ladies
This really looks like fun! Can’t wait to start.
I was lucky enough to score some Needle & Thread Gatherings charm packs from a destash page, and will use them for the Moda challenge this weekend. As a bonus, I will have a red and white quilt, finally! 😊
I’m jumping on the challenge bandwagon and starting this adorable quilt. Now I need to decide which charm pack to use!! Thank you Moda and Lisa for promoting it.
The Moda challenge is going to be sew much fun! The hard part is deciding what charm pack to use!
Love to hear from you & especially love your you tube channel
What a great way to encourage those of us that love to collect charm packs but can’t bring ourselves to use them. Also a great way to coax people to sew something scrappy.
great Idea!!
So many good ideas. I’m always struggling with my fabric pick, but loved the red and white gatherings idea and have enough scraps left from American Quilters Stitch Along. Perfect and it’s already starched. I did listen to Stitch with Lisa and that Alpine Quilt is on my radar.🤗
I won’t be doing this charm project as I have end of the year tax prep to work on.
I so love quilt/sew alongs. So fun! I think I’m going to use my urban gatherings charm packs!
I am a sucker for sew alongs. I love them. They keep me focused and I am up for the challenge keep up and not get behind. I get bored easily and these let me channel my secret ADHD. I cannot wait to get my Oh Say Can You Sew back from the longarmer. Have fun on your western trip. By the way, the red and white gatherings charm project looks awesome.
What a great pattern and I have the perfect charm pack. Back in 2012 I purchased “Mamma Said Sew” by Sweetwater from a quilt shop (now closed) in Boulder City, Nevada. The minute I saw it I fell in love but as a very new quilter didn’t know to buy more than one with additional yardage. O well we learn as we go. I haven’t been able to bring myself to cut it up so it’s been waiting for just the right pattern and I Moda Love ❤️ is it. Unfortunately I don’t do any sort of social media so I won’t be able to participate in the giveaway.
Love seeing all the different Moda Charm Square Challenges folks have done. I’m traveling but can’t wait to get home and try my own.
I had a chance to watch Live with Lisa today (with Jess too!). I’m a newbie to both the quilt and wool boxes. I can’t wait to get started! I have already picked my background fabrics and they are in my shopping cart. I hope to work on the charm pack challenge tomorrow after work. Have fun in Vegas.
Just love that you keep us updated on quilting happenings with Moda! I love Nantucket Summer fabric, of course green and blue are my colors. Working on my Charm Pack Challenge, using up a charm pack from my stash!
