Your commitment? Zero. No pressure what-so-ever. We don’t need anything from you. Isn’t that nice for a change? We don’t even need an email address unless you want the once-a-month newsletter to remind you to download your free pattern. Yes, receive 12 free patterns, once-a-month download, no cost, no commitment.
Our theme is “Home is Pieced One stitch at a Time“.
What’s the catch? I don’t think we have a catch. Maybe it is our a way to introduce you to how wonderful the Material Girlfriends Patterns are. Maybe its a way to invite you to be part of our community. Maybe we like quilters just like you. All three are true. But remember, the free pattern download link is only available from the 15th until the end of the month.
How does it work? Each month, on or close to the 15th, receive an email that the monthly free pattern download is ready (or set yourself a reminder to come back to Materialgirlfriends.com) The monthly newsletter will have a link that will bring you to the 2025 Sew Along page. Go ahead and click on it. The link is also in the header. All the information plus the free download links will be on the 2025 Sew Along page.
Introducing the free January download, My Little Cottage Quilt. It is place mat size, 20″ x 16″ and constructed with ten 4″ little houses. The pattern includes two ways to make the houses, paper-piecing and regular piecing.
Introducing a New Pattern by Material Girlfriends, Boujee
Boujee has multiple sizes and multiple layouts! Queen 88″ x 88″ (shown on the pattern cover), Throw 64”x 64″, Twin 64” x 88″, and King 112” x 112”.
Boujee is American slang for bourgeoisie, meaning a person aspiring to be higher than one’s social and economic class. The Boujee quilt is made of a simple quilt block, appearing to be more complex than it is. The clear and detailed cutting and sewing diagrams make the block assembly quick and easy! Enjoy 9 Layout Options!
Introducing a New Kit
Open Options has long been a favorite pattern of our. It is a disappearing L block and very easy to make. It looks like you have a bunch of triangles to sew when you’re really not sewing any! Check out our basic demo tutorial on the Open Option block.
Both paper pattern and digital pattern include the new cross layout. Now Open Options has 15 different layout options!
New Video Release
We’ve Teamed up with the Missouri Star Quilt company again. They really are a great crew to work with. Natalie did a fabulous job creating a tutorial for our Wowza pattern.
Finished Size: 56″ x 71″
From the Missouri Star Quilt Company Site: There’s a magic spark between identical twins—or sew it seams. Because when Material Girlfriends Lisa & Lora start to quilt, the whole world falls in love! Their patterns are so lovely, we’ve featured FOUR in past and this week, we’re adding one more to the collection. The Wowza quilt is made with simply pieced layer cakes from Kona Cotton and Essex Linen. It’s timeless, fresh, and delightfully versatile with 13 layout options. Instructor, Natalie Earnheart
Wowza quilt pattern includes 13 layout options. Below are a few we played with before sewing the cover quilt together. Have you picked out the layout Natalie used? Which layout would you choose?
Yes we have the Navy and Cream kits in stock, $79.99. Kits include all the fabric for the front, binding, and the Wowza pattern. Kits do not include backing and batting.
Road to California Show
The Road to California show is right around the corner! January 22-25 in Ontario, California. We were assured the LA fires are not close enough to affect the show. We will be fully set up in booth 318/320, right next to Connecting Threads. We hope to see you there!
Happy sewing!
