Kick off this year with a bang by making one of my favorite small quilts for the January 2020 small groups, small quilt challenge. Civil War Stars. Yes, it's an oldie but still a good one. There are many who are new to my groups, my blog and my books who haven't made any of the quilts that were made in the earlier challenges. (We've been doing these challenges in groups since about 2008.) Since my next book won't be out until later this year, some asked to make quilts from a different, earlier book and the suggestion was The Civil War Sewing Circle. If you have the book, follow along and make the quilt why don't you? If you make it now it'll be ready to display on the Fourth of July. If you'd like to join in and need a book, I have a few copies available on my website.
Here are some of the other quilts from The Civil War Sewing Circle book that we might be making this year -
We'll be alternating projects every month. Odd-numbered months will be a quilt from the book and even months will be a small themed quilt that will be a free pattern or perhaps just a suggestion to be creative in some way without using a pattern. Stay tuned for the quilt for February. I'll bet it will be something like - "Use red or pink fabric to make a quilt . . . ." Ha ha. Okay, maybe I'll try to be a little more specific than that.
Have a good weekend! If you haven't started the first block of my Mystery quilt yet, time's a wasting.

How do I join?
I was wondering the same thing. If you go to her website, Country Lane Quilts.com, there is a tab for mystery quilt. Then you click on free patterns.
Hi Kathleen, Happy New Year to you and your family! Will be looking forward to getting your new quilt book...exciting for you and all of us!

Je ne pourrai malheureusement pas acheter le livre "Civil War Sewing Circle" car en Belgique beaucoup trop cher.
J'apprécierais cependant de suivre la courtepointe gratuite dont j'ai déjà commencé les premiers blogs que tu proposes.
Quant aux autres modèles, je peux toujours m'inspirer des photos que tu nous montres.
Bien amicalement

Monique - if you wish to do the challenges, purchase an e-book from my publisher that you an download to your computer or iPad. It's an instant download. No shipping. Here's the link to buying an e-book - https://www.shopmartingale.com/civil-war-sewing-circle.html
If you are looking to do the Mystery quilt, the free patterns will be posted in the Facebook group files or on my website every month. www.countrylanequilts.com
If you want to do the challenges, the patterns are in my book The Civil War Sewing Circle.
I am working on a star quilt. Jmi am new at making a quilt.
Merci Kathleen pour cette information. J'ai effectivement trouvé sur Martingale le livre et je l'ai acheté. C'est en effet une très bonne solution car d'abord cela évite des frais d'expédition et ensuite cela ne demande pas de place dans ma bibliothèque déjà bien fournie.
Amicalement
Lovely!
