Hi everyone! It’s prep-week for the Candy Cane Lane SAL! We’re going to be sewing together this year, so in December you have an adorable quilt ready for the holidays.
Below you’ll find a basic schedule for you to follow along with! Video tutorials for each quilty star block will release on YouTube every 2nd Thursday of the month. The SAL schedule below is just a suggestion, you’ll have a month between each star block release on YouTube, so take your time and enjoy it!
For the SAL, you can make anything from the Candy Cane line! That includes the full sized quilt, stitchy ornaments (or whole cloth version), and the CCL Ornaments too! Make sure to post your progress pics in our Sew With Me Facebook Group ! And that’s it! Have fun sewing and stitching along!
Here’s how to participate:
- Get the Candy Cane Lane Pattern (You can use any CCL product, ornaments, stitchy, and quilty versions count!)
- Join our Sew With Me Facebook Group (post your progress pics there!)
- Watch the YT Video Tutorials Here! (The star block tutorials release the 2nd Thurs. of each month)
- Have fun!
Quilt-a-Long and Stitch-a-long Schedule:
I have a lot packed into the first month, so feel free to take your time! That said, I do like to get my borders and sashing sewn/stitched early on. If you’re sewing along, it’s a great way to get ahead. Use January to get the borders, and houses sewn and stitched. Then as we progress through the SAL you can work on one star each month.
When we get to December, which can be a busy time, you’ll already be all set to assemble your quilt! If you’re stitching along, having the stitchy borders, houses, and shelves done helps give you a frame of reference as you’re adding each motif!
You an always sew ahead too, the schedule below coordinates with the YouTube video tutorial releases. You’re welcome to join me on YT to watch the tutorials for a visual guide and a few tips for each block.
