The Liberty QAL and SAL are starting today! If you haven’t gotten your supplies yet, don’t worry we have until June 29 to get your progress pics posted, so grab some supplies and join in the fun!
What are a QAL (quilt-a-long) and SAL (stitch-a-long)?
It’s a fun group of friends who quilt and stitch together on the same project at the same time. Hanging with friends makes everything more fun, and sewing with others gives us all a little extra motivation too! And of course, there will be some fun patriotic prizes involved!
Here’s how to participate:
- Join our LIBERTY Facebook Group
- Post your pics using #libertyqal or #libertysal
- Quilt and/or stitch along following the schedule below
- I’ll choose winners from the hashtags once we are all done!
- Have fun!
