In this episode, Sherri and Chelsi welcome back Kimberly Jolly of Fat Quarter Shop to talk all about the Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along. This year's Make-A-Wish charity quilt features Sherri and Chelsi's Strawberry Lemonade fabric. There is also a special navy print made especially for this quilt's background. This quilt pattern is free to anyone who wants to join along, but Kimberly hopes that everyone who gets the pattern will donate at least the cost of the pattern ($10) to the Make-A-Wish foundation. The quilt along will begin shortly after the Strawberry Lemonade fabric ships to stores. We anticipate it will begin in February or early March of 2024. Sherri and Chelsi also ask Kimberly about her sewing routines and how she manages her personal sewing, her business, and her family time. Kimberly then shares her insights on the current state of the quilting industry and discusses some trends she sees heading into the new year. More information on the Moonbeams charity quilt, and a link to donate to the Make-A-Wish foundation, can be found below.Help Support our Show Here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1118069/supportShow Notes Blog Post: https://www.aquiltinglife.com/a-quilting-life-podcast-episode-101-show-notesCozy Earth: https://cozyearth.com/Cozy Earth 35% Off Sitewide with the code: AQUILTINGLIFEMoonbeams (Quilt on the Wall): https://blog.fatquartershop.com/announcing-the-moonbeams-charity-quilt-along/Moonbeams Quilt Kit Reservation: http://shrsl.com/4d971Fat Quarter Shop Make a Wish Donation Page: https://secure2.wish.org/site/TR;jsessionid=00000000.app20060a?px=3293294&fr_id=5587&pg=personal&NONCE_TOKEN=7EACE7C524AAE9D0E0779E917D98F34ALaurastar Smart System Iron: http://shrsl.com/4dab7Kimberly Cuts Rotating Cutting Mat  http://shrsl.com/4bt9kSign up for the Sew Sampler Box Subscription here: http://shrsl.com/3to9eFat Quarter Shop Home Page Link: http://shrsl.com/3iq9aNOTE: Some of the links provided here are affiliate links.Where to Find Us:Facebook: A Quilting Life with Sherri & Chelsi: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459389991531728/A Quilting Life Blog: https://www.aquiltinglife.comChelsi Stratton Blog: https://chelsistratton.wordpress.com/A Quilting Life Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aquiltinglifeA Quilting Life Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aquiltinglife/Chelsi Stratton Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chelsistratton/A Quilting Life Pattern Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SherriQuiltsChelsi Stratton Pattern Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/StrattonHandmadeVisit the A Quilting Life YouTube channel for more great video content: https://www.youtube.com/aquiltinglifeEnjoy what you heard?
