Woohoo!! I'm going to put a linkup on FB so we can all share our blocks.

Hi Missy! Gosh, there are so many variables. Depending on how often you use your mat, how often you cut blocks of similar size, the amount of sun that hits your mat, whether you live in a moist or dry climate, how often you run the heat in your house, etc. - all vary how often a mat needs to be moisturized. At minimum, I recommend cleaning your mat monthly by removing loose fibers and wiping it down. When it feels like fabrics are getting snagged on it, you can give it a proper moisturizing facial treatment :)

@@FaithandFabric thank you !

@@missybarrett2061 Anytime, Missy! Good luck, and I hope you continue to get many years out of your cutting mat!

Hi Joyce! I'm going to answer that two ways. First, there will be a new block released on the first of the month throughout 2025. You'll want to sign up on the newsletter (bit.ly/fafnewsletter) in order to make sure you receive info on each new block. Second, this is the only video for the Women of the Bible quilt along as each block is assembled in a similar way; all are foundation paper pieced. I'll be releasing new videos in the weeks to come, but they won't be related to this quilt along.

Joyce, no problem!! You can join in anytime. The block comes together SO quickly, so no stress at all :) Thanks for sewing with us!

Hi Carmel! What a beautiful name. I'm so glad you'll be sewing with us! So excited for this quilt. Here's to a wonderful year!

Hi Dee! Of course! The link is in the description, but here's a direct link for you to pick up the pattern: faithandfabricdesign.com/product/quilt-block-eve-genesis-2-4

Hi Denise! As you can imagine, the time spent to come up with a design, create the design digitally, test it out with fabric, modify as needed, and publish is a LOT of work...that would be a bit much to do "for free", as this is my job and how I make a living. Thank you for supporting small businesses!

Jessica, I'm so glad you're joining in! It's going to be a lovely year exploring these women one by one and relating parts of their lives to our own <3 Looking forward to sewing with you!

@ my Bible study group just finished with a series of women in the Bible, this is a wonderful follow up.

@@jessicamalley6201 I love how God makes connections like this in our lives!

I love this!! So SO excited for this quilt along. Are you an Eve as well? We'll be mostly focusing on OT women so, if you're not an Eve, hopefully we'll sew your name, too!

​@@FaithandFabricI'm a Rachel, and soon I'll be a Rachel enrolling in this project. 🍀 It's just too cute. I made your Holy Week table runner last year, it's outstanding and can't wait to break it out again this year.

​@@thatwifeofhis7815 Rachel is such a beautiful name. It was second on our list of potential child names if we had a girl right behind Anna. Thank you for your kind words about the Holy Week runner; that made my day! We pull ours out, too, and it's truly meaningful to see - those momentary glimpses of it on the table bring me back to the Lenten season. So glad you'll be sewing this, too, with us, Rachel. Enjoy your new year!

Not finding where I can get the pattern. I definitely want to do this ❤

@@stephaniemartin8219 No worries! I'll post the link directly for you here: faithandfabricdesign.com/product/quilt-block-eve-genesis-2-4

Aww, Emma, thank you so much! I'm so glad this helped...and I hope your health journey is going well.

Harry, great! I'm so glad it worked for you. I just re-cleaned mine the other day; it was so needed! Wishing you a wonderful 2025!

Hi Ellen, of course! Please email me at: faithandfabric <at> yahoo <dot> com and we'll try to figure out what's happening. I'm seeing other orders come through, so perhaps there's something happening on your computer that's blocking the order? We will figure this out together :)

Haha, thank you so much! It was fun to "bake" my quilt, and even more fun to film it. My son, who helped film, and I laughed through the entire thing!

I can imagine that pretty well. My son would had a blast, too. 😂😂😂 I wish you a very mehr christmas. Lots of greetings from Germany

Thank you! I'm so inspired by the creativity of the Faith and Fabric community. Everyone did such a great job!

Oohhh...I like this idea! In fact, I have a block of the month starting in January that could be perfect for this. Thanks, Fran! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season.

Thank you so much! This video was a special one to make as it highlighted all the amazing talent in the Faith and Fabric community. They're all such great quilters!

Hi there! The link is in the video description, but I'll paste it here for you, too: faithandfabricdesign.com/product/pattern-christmas-tree-napkins

Beth, yes! The worst is when fabric scissors get used to open packages and end up with that sticky gum on them. I've tried labeling my scissors as "fabric only", but that doesn't seem to keep them from getting used for other purposes :)

It was such a fun conversation - I loved hearing about all the different ways we approach the holidays and how we've evolved over time!

Raylee, I always enjoy chatting with you! ...and hahaha, many or minimal for the win!

Yes, self healing mats are so important!!

Hi Debbie! Thanks for reaching out. Here's the link to the free pattern in the shop: faithandfabricdesign.com/product/pattern-christmas-tree-napkins

I know...I'm so bummed but this product was discontinued. The woman creating it no longer sells it.

Patricia, YEAH!! So glad you were able to clean your steam iron plate and that it's worked so well for you!

Aww, Diana, THANK YOU!! That means so much! I have a new Block of the (mostly) Month starting soon that I can't wait to share!

Haha! I really didn't even notice.

Sandra, I know...it's such a bummer. It's SUCH a great tool!!

Lisa, yeah! I'm excited to see how it turns out. I have a white top sheet that I"m planning on using for a quilt back as well :) The bottom sheet became part of a Halloween costume so this is a great way to use the top!

Lisa, this is *literally* my go-to free motion pattern :) I love the little flowers it makes and it's such a forgiving design. Happy sewing to you!

Nvm I found it 😁

@@tiabramlett2378 I was just about to reply! The link to the pattern is in the video's description, but I'll post it here as well: faithandfabricdesign.com/2022/09/woodcut-blossoms-fabric.html

Molly, how awesome that you'll be able to continue harvesting for a few more weeks! We are literally in the MIDDLE of a major yard transformation (I'll have to share in the next update) but once the new garden beds go in I'll be planting garlic as well. Do you plant hard or softneck variety?

Carolina how wonderful that you and your family are missionaries!! Yes, truly such a great vocation that we have been called for.

Peg, yes, they are beautiful all year. Even in the early spring, when the snow is melting and there are these snow streams everywhere tricking down the rocks...so gorgeous. I look forward to seeing your blocks!

Rachel, I'm so glad you like it!! Your thoughtful comments mean so much <3 I look forward to seeing how your table runner turns out!

Interesting, Henrik - I actually didn't waste any fabric in making this pattern. In fact, I even showed you how *not* to waste fabric. Where, specifically, did you see fabric being wasted?

@@FaithandFabricI understood “using scraps” love your patterns.

@@jessicamalley6201 Thanks, Jessica, for understanding what I meant! It's great to have projects that use up leftover (or scrap) fabrics. Happy sewing to you!

Hi Linda! Thanks for reaching out. Here's the link to the free pattern in the shop: faithandfabricdesign.com/product/pattern-christmas-tree-napkins

Thank you, sweetly iced! :) I've popped many a thread using thread that's probably past its expiration date, so this is a handy technique to keep in your pocket. Happy sewing to you!
