I live in California, at the very southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and the mountain town that I live in is affectionately known as “The Land of Four Seasons”. My husband and I look forward to the winter snow, and my husband has been known to capture and photograph snowflakes using a chilled microscope, macroscopic photography, and a lot of patience. Inspired by the beautiful snowflakes he has photographed, I wanted to create a snowflake quilt design that would keep me warm on the cold winter nights using techniques that would keep the quilt accessible to all levels of quilters.
The FREE Snowflake Shimmer Quilt Along will yield a 72 ½ʺ x 88 ½ʺ lap size quilt top. The quilt along will NOT be a mystery quilt, and I will be unveiling the design along with the first set of instructions on July 1st!
To stay up to date and join in on the fun, please consider joining my Quilting Jetgirl Facebook group. The Facebook group will be a fun place to share pictures, ask questions, and post finishes of Quilting Jetgirl patterns and tutorials as well as a home for discussions on the Snowflake Shimmer Quilt Along.
