Our Winter 2024 SAL is almost here! We will be making an Everett Star Quilt and I can't wait to sew along in community with you to make this pattern! This blogpost will provide all the basic information needed to participate in the Everett Star SAL!
The Everett Star Quilt Pattern is our newest TCJ pattern. This pattern is named after my son Everett and is inspired by my love of vintage looking quilts with a modern twist. I love stars so much and so I wanted a quilt that used a lot of them but also created visual movement no matter the Design Style chosen! I can't wait to jump into this project and sew with you!
