sponsor | Night Quilter

I’m excited to kick off the week by announcing a new sponsor: Fat Quarter Shop. Many of you most likely know about this pinnacle online fabric shop that not only stocks a wide selection of fabrics, but also engages the community in a big way through free video tutorials and patterns, quilt alongs, block of the month clubs, and more. I’ve worked with Fat Quarter shop in the past during two separate quilt pattern blog hops: Layers of Charm and Welded, and they are also a big sponsor of the 1930s Farmer’s Wife Sew Along hosted by Angie at Gnome Angel, for which I’m an official blogger. Fat Quarter Shop has long been very supportive of independent bloggers. When they reached out to me wanting to sponsor my blog, I graciously accepted.

Here are some of my favorite features about Fat Quarter Shop:

They have a *really* extensive selection of fabrics that span from traditional to more modern.
They stock gorgeously curated bundles of solids, some of which have matching Aurifil threads!
The shop is searchable by color, which is always a good starting point in finding the perfect fabric for a project.
They seem to have an endless supply of novelty fabrics, which helps tremendously with eye spy or any other themed quilts.
They have many free tutorials and patterns that are great for both quick projects and skill building, not to mention learning short cuts that can help in all future quilt projects.
They have great sales including a 24 hour flash sale each day.
Their customer service is always stellar.

Fat Quarter Shop is generously offering a Contemporary Splendid Sampler Fat Quarter Bundle, consisting of twenty (20) gorgeous fat quarters by Moda Fabrics, to one of my readers.

Thanks again to the Fat Quarter Shop! Blog sponsors help me to keep this blog going by helping cover the costs of hosting, photography equipment, supplies, and of course time. Sweet, precious time. Many many thanks to all who support me!

I’m excited to introduce you to a new sponsor: Pile O’ Fabric. Many of you may be familiar with Pile O’ Fabric, an independently run modern sewing shop and blog by Alyssa Lichner. It is rare for me to find a shop in which I love ALL of the stocked fabric, but Pile O’ Fabric just may be such a shop.

Here are just a few of the great shop features that keep me coming back:

Curated bundles complete with both prints and solids.

You know me and color. I play with color palettes every week, so when I visit Pile O’ Fabric and see that the curated bundles include not only coordinating color palettes with matching solids, but ALSO a bundle of said coordinating solids, I swoon.

Easy fabric search-ability based on different characteristics like color family, scale, and material in addition to manufacturer, designer and collection. For example, you can search for all fabrics in a specific color family, including fun unique colors like pickle and persimmon, or you can browse only fabrics with large scale prints. This definitely makes it easier to find the perfect fabric for your project.

A great selection of kits.

Not only does Alyssa carry kits for her Skill Builder Block of the Month quilts–have you SEEN the Technicolor Galaxy Quilt for 2015!?–but she also has kits to help get you started with a new craft, such as an English Paper Piecing Starter Kit, or make one of your favorite patterns, such as a Sew Together Bag.

The Pile O’ Fabric blog also provides a great resource full of tutorials, patterns and inspiration. I’m thrilled to be partnering with Alyssa and Pile O’ Fabric, and definitely recommend checking out all her shop has to offer.
