Hand Pieced QAL: Week 2 Link-up

Hand Pieced QAL: Week 2 Link-up

Edited to add: Congratulations to this week’s winner Ann H.!

This link-up will be open for one week – until Thursday, February 7 (4am ET/1am PT). You are welcome to share any and all of the blocks you completed this week. When this link-up closes, a new one will open (magic!) so please don’t worry if you fall behind.

This week’s prize bundle includes a Jinny Beyer Perfect Piecer, Famore snips, and unicorn thread gloss from Robot Mom Sews. These items are never far from me when I’m hand sewing!

Hand Pieced QAL Weekly prizes

The Jinny Beyer Perfect Piecer is a simple tool designed to help quilters achieve perfect points and even stitching lines. The Famore EZ Stitch Snips are perfect for all sorts of needle arts and allow you to get under those tiny stitches for easy removal. And the Robot Mom Sews Unicorn thread gloss conditions your thread to make it glide easier through fabric and it helps eliminate unwanted knots.

Guidelines

  • Blocks must be entirely hand pieced.  
  • Block must visually match a block from the QAL.  The block can be constructed using different units (eg: using two HSTs to make a flying geese).  Blocks can also be made a different size.
  • Finished blocks can be shared in any link-up but can only be shared once.  Duplicates will be disqualified.
  • Multiple blocks created by one quilter may be shared in the same link-up.
  • Winners will be chosen randomly and notified via email.  Winners have 72 hours to claim their prize – if we don’t hear back, we will draw another name.  Once winners have claimed their prize, the link-up post will be updated with the winner’s name.
  • This prize is only available to be shipped within the US.
