We have now released all of the blocks for Segment 1. This post will remind you about how to enter for the Segment 1 prizes and will show you where to go for small project ideas.

What are the Giveaways for Segment 1?
We will have a prize package at the end of each segment. As well as a Grand Prize at the end of the Quilt Along. The prizes are open to all participants that are at least 18 years old. If you don't remember what I mean by segment, check out the Introductory Post. You will find additional information of interest there as well as a schedule.

How to Enter
To be eligible to win a segment prize, you need to make all of the blocks from that segment. Share a photo or photos of your blocks (in a single post) to be entered.
For segment 1, entries will be open from 12:00 am May 7 to 11:59 pm May 20, 2019 (Eastern time). There are three places you can share your blocks to be entered in the drawing:

• Facebook - Share in the Partners in Design Facebook Group.

• Blog Linky - Click below to post on the Segment 1 Linky Party.

​Segment 1 Prize Package

​Grand Prize
To be eligible to win the grand prize, you need to make all 13 blocks from the whole quilt along and turn them into a quilt or other project(s). Quilt tops don’t need to be quilted, but projects do need to be finished. Share a single post that shows all of the blocks in a quilt top or project. It doesn’t matter how many projects or what projects you make, or how many blocks you use in each project as long as you show that you’ve used all 13 blocks in a finished quilt top, project, or projects.

Important Note
To keep the contest portion of the quilt along fair and fun for everyone, only quilters that use all of the designers' blocks [in a quilt top or project(s)] will be eligible for the grand prize. Likewise, our segment prizes will only be open to those that make all of the designers’ blocks for that segment.

I am so excited to release my Quilt Along Mug which is Block 2 in the Let's Sew Along quilt along by Partners in Design! Why a mug block? I chose it because I love to have a mug of hot coffee or tea while I am sewing, especially if it is late at night. ​It seems like a sewing essential to me! 

Welcome to the 2019 Mystery Quilt Along brought to you by Partners in Design! This year our quilt along is called Sew Let's Quilt Along and features a sewing/quilting theme. For an overview of the quilt along, including how to enter the win giveaways, please see my Introductory Post. If you miss a block along the way, my Quilt Along Page will tell you where to find it. 

We are excited to announce that Partners in Design's newest mystery quilt along will begin March 12, 2019! It is called Sew Let's Quilt Along, and it is full of surprises. 

Welcome to the Pieceful Sunday Linky Party! This week I am so excited to announce the release of my new pattern- Christmas Tree Farm Table Runner. It is in plenty of time for Christmas! I am really happy about how this pattern turned out. It was inspired by my Christmas Tree Farm Block which I designed for the I Wish You a Merry QAL quilt along sponsored by Partners in Design. If you the would like to read about this block and the QAL, click here.  Of course, the original block was inspired by living at JANDA Bend Christmas Trees. My husband and I love living and running a Christmas Tree Farm.

The Christmas Tree Farm Table Runner measures 25" by 52". However, you can easily reduce or increase the length by reducing or adding the number of larger trees and the smaller tree border. The pattern is available as a pdf digital download in my online Quilt Shop. We accept PayPal and major credit cards at our McAfee secure checkout. Currently, we can only sell to US customers. However, we will be opening an Etsy shop in the next few weeks. We will be able to sell internationally from that shop. Stay tuned!

The pattern contains templates for the Christmas Tree blocks. However, information concerning which Quilt in a Day (not an affiliate link) rulers or Accuquilt (affiliate link) dies to use to cut the trees is included as well. 

Hope you like the new pattern! Please let me know if you have questions.
