The Five Little Ghosts Quilt-Along! / Beauties Pageant 304

You’re invited! This fall, we’ll be sewing a project from the pages of Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts together. Meet Five Little Ghosts, a cute pattern to sew with friends and jump-start your seasonal sewing.

This runner is a fast sew, and you likely already have all the fabric you need in your stash and scraps. If you’re looking for a bigger Halloween-themed project, however, this quilt-along will include a free expansion pack to transform your Five Little Ghosts table runner into a Five Little Ghosts and Friends throw quilt. (Click here for the expansion pack!)

There will be YouTube videos, giveaways, and a small army of quilters to cheer you on!

What to Join the Fun? 

This quilt-along is free to participate. To sew the pattern, though, you will need a copy of Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts (available in quilt shops, online retailers, and my own pattern shop and Etsy storefront).

Weekly posts will appear each Friday in three places:

* On the From Bolt to Beauty blog 

* In the From Bolt to Beauty newsletter

* In the brand-new From Bolt to Beauty Patterns group on Facebook

I hope you’ll sew with us!

Prizes

What’s a quilt-along without a little motivation to get things going? Everyone who completes at least one ghost block is eligible to enter giveaways for the following prizes. (A second group of prizes will be announced on September 26th, too). 

1. $50 Gift Card to Camberville Threads (1 winner)

I love Camberville Thread’s carefully curated selection of fabric, notions, and EPP supplies. I have no doubt you will, too! One winner will receive a $50 gift card to the shop.

 

2. An ebook from C&T Publishing (2 winners)

C&T has released some super fun (and eagerly anticipated) new titles recently, including Rashida Coleman Hale’s Zakka Sewn and Lindlee Smith’s Lone Star Legacy Quilts. Two winners will pick the ebook they would like to receive.


3. Pattern bundle from Megan Collins Quilt Design, Down to the Letter Quilt Co., and From Bolt to Beauty (1 winner)

One winner can pick his or her choice of one pattern from three different designers: Megan Collins, Janie Brady, and Michelle Cain. It’s just what you need to get started with your next project!
