As Jess always says, we do some of our best work flying by the seat of our pants around here, so on top of all of the creative meetings, brain storming, designing, and planning going on, there were several quilt-along blocks that also quietly released over the last few weeks. In case you missed them, recent new block releases include clue numbers Six and Seven in the Scandinavian Christmas Quilt-Along, and the debut of the fifth Weekend Edition Series quilt, “Short Cut.”
Now it’s time for a little confession I must make… With all the hustle, bustle, and creative energy flying around, I’m not afraid to admit that mistakes can happen… annnnd one did. It was recently brought to my attention that there is a misprint in the instructions for clue number Six in the Scandinavian Christmas Quilt-Along. You will find it under “NOTIONS NEEDED” where the instructions call for 2″ Triangle Paper. THIS IS NOT CORRECT! The pattern for clue number Six in the Scandinavian Christmas QAL does not require any triangle paper at all. Whoops!

If you’ve already purchased the pattern, don’t worry. All you need to do is simply omit “NOTIONS NEEDED” from the instructions and you’re good to go! If you haven’t purchased your pattern yet, no worries. We’ve got the instructions corrected and updated, so everyone can keep stitching without a hitch! Still need to purchase and download your pattern? Remember, you can find information, links, and downloads for all of my quilt-alongs at www.lisabongean.com under the “Quilt-Alongs” tab. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to call the shop at 920-722-7233. You can also email us at store@primitivegatherings.us.

Betty L. and Kathy H. – check your emails! You’re this week’s lucky comment winners! I’ll be sending you both a little token of my appreciation as soon as Heidi gets your information… Don’t forget to LIKE, comment, and share, and YOU could be a prize winner too!
