Melody Quiltalong

Make your own melody in 2022!

The Melody Quiltalong has closed. Check out the Dreamlines Project, my free monthly art project for 2023.

In 2022, I offered my newsletter subscribers a free PDF pattern for my power-stripping project Melody 33 which uses 33 selvedge-to-selvedge 2 1/2in strips. Ideal for jelly rolls and stash-busting.

For too long, things have been sitting idle and out of sight: quilts, fabric, patterns and more. It’s time to release them out into the world. This is my gift to you and a gift to myself.

I first made this piano key inspired quilt back in 2010 as part of my “power-stripping” series of designs. Recently I wrapped up Melody 33 with a bow and dispatched it to the other “other” Copacabana – the one in Rio de Janiero where there is a lively 18-month old Cecilia who will get to enjoy it. So much better than having it folded up in a cupboard.

Of course, I have lots more fabric in my stash so I have started a new melody. I invite you to quilt-along with me. Reacquaint yourself with those precious fabrics and start power-stripping! Send me a photo, add your own images to the padlet below with the fun Padlet app or use these hash tags on Instagram:
