Reclaiming the home is partially about the ways we bring joy and beauty into our homes with our own two hands. In celebration of this act of love, I have redecorated the blog! The color scheme and banner are both based upon our first Reclaiming The Club Kit!
The kit will give you enough fabric to make a mini or doll sized quilt in the pattern of your choosing. It will include 18 strips of fabric 9x2", backing fabric, quilt binding, and batting! The only thing you will need to provide is a needle, thread, and a quiet corner to sit and stitch.
I decided to go with a very simple patchwork design using this
month's kit, but you could use any number of patterns, or even just
create something totally unique and your own! I will include
instructions on how to create a patchwork quilt like this one with the
kit! Also with the pattern instructions, I will include tips for those
who may be new to quilting and want to try it out. A mini quilt is
a great starter project, and also so much fun for those with more
experience!
The kit will be available in The Shop within the week, so be watching for an announcement! A surprise contest will also be posted that day for those who receive Reclaiming Club Kit, so there will be lots of fun ahead!
Drop a line sometime, and leave a comment if you like! I always love to hear what you all think, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have too! :)
The quilt is just lovely! I can't wait to see the other kits as they come about!

I posted here once already and it hasn't shown up yet so I will try again.
1st I want to say that I have been really loving your site. You have beautiful ideas and pictures.
2nd I simply cannot wait to be able to try your quilting kit! It is gorgeous and I love little homey touches. So a tiny quilt will be perfect in my daughter's dolly cradle.
Thanks for all that you have been posting!
