This is the LAST post of the QAL series (well, before I announce the winners in about two weeks)!!
It was an amazing journey for me and I am happy that many of you followed along!!

I already started designing and planning the QAL for 2017.
THANKS to all the people that submitted their opinions and suggestions in the survey I sent out few weeks ago! I received good feedback but I have to tell you that you are a hard crowd to please :)
When I asked which kind of project you would prefer for next year (Traditional, Modern or Whimsical) the answers split EQUALLY between the three!!! :) the 2017 QAL design will be very original (I hope) and it may be able to make everybody happy... more on this next month, so stay tuned and SUBSCRIBE for email update if you don't want to miss out future announcements!!

For today's post I just want to list all the game pieces posts we already collected and you can use any of those to make the Snakes and Ladders game pieces.


Remember that the pattern for the boards are shared for free via email to the people that completed and shared last month pattern.

If you didn't get the pattern you can buy the current month pattern from my shop.

I am adding the linky to every post so it's easy to find. It's the same linky in every page!



Until next week,
Happy Stitching!!


Remember: all the details about the series are collected in the QAL web page.

Here some ideas how to make cute game pieces!

If you didn't hear about the QAL before, please visit the Play with Me QAL page! 
This is a wonderful Skill Builder, because every month I will be featuring a different technique and we will have step by step instructions to walk you through the entire process, from cut to finishing.

Visit the QAL page to find all the quilt layout, all the future boards and rules to participate.
I recommend you to subscribe to the QAL announcements via email, so you don't miss out on future posts! You find the subscription form on the same QAL page.

Now let's take out small scraps of fabric, and let's put together these pieces!!
This is a general technique you can use to make hexies, but it's good for game pieces because the extra bulk of the fabric on the back will create more stable pieces.

Remember that the pattern for the board is shared for free via email to the people that completed and shared last month pattern.

If you didn't get the pattern you can buy the current month pattern from my shop and get back in the QAL free patterns list.

So are you excited about this QAL?
I surely am!! Grab my button and share the love (button on the side bar)!
The more people join in, the more fun it will be!!

I am sorry but this month I won't be able to share quilting ideas or instructions to make game pieces for our Ludo board!

Work has been crazy and I didn't have the time to even quilt my own board, let alone making the pieces!

However I hope to see your Ludo board in the linky soon.
The QAL is still ongoing and I will be back next month with a new game board!!

Remember that the pattern for the board is shared for free via email to the people that completed and shared last month pattern.

If you didn't get the pattern you can buy the current month pattern from my shop and get back in the QAL free patterns list.
If you need more information, please send me an email at tweloq(at)gmail(dot)com.
For the full list of rules and explanation on how/where to share your projects, please refer to the post listing all the QAL rules!

This month is a little different...  the pattern for the board is shared for free via email to people that get in touch with me and ask for it!

If you shared the previous month pattern, you should get the pattern by the end of today!
Otherwise, just write a comment below with your email address and I will send it to you.

I am sorry I changed the rules (just for this pattern) at the last minute. I didn't mean to trick you!
I realized that it is extremely difficult for me to make clear illustrations and schema for embroidery stitches! In my pattern I have the links to wonderful places where these illustrations and schema already exist (and are available for free), so it wouldn't be fair to make a paid pattern that just put links together.
In the pattern there are also the usual instructions on how to assemble the roll-up travel set, but that is not enough (for how I see it) to make the Go pattern a paid pattern.

So this may also be used as an opportunity for people to jump back in the "free" patterns mode.
The rules for all the following patterns will be the same as before (free only for people that share the previous one before the deadline).

So are you excited about this QAL?
I surely am!! Grab my button and share the love (button on the side bar)!

It has been a crazy month... and I couldn't find the time to make a sample for the Backgammon game pieces!! :(
However I can put a link to the tutorial I was planning to use (suggested by Elaine one of the wonderful people quilting along).

Using Aluminium Washers, glue and strips of fabric!

Depending on the size of your backgammon board, you could use washers that are about 1'' in diameter. Instead of strips of fabric you could also use ribbon, or washi tape. I don't know, I would have tried all these options if only I had time :)
These pieces are also great to be used outside, because they are heavier than our previous options so it may be worth to try it!

Remember that the pattern for the boards are shared for free via email to the people that completed and shared last month pattern.

If you didn't, you have two options:
  1. you can buy the current month pattern from my shop and get back in the QAL free patterns list
  2. you can buy the previous pattern from my shop, complete the board, share that with me in the linky/email and then I will send you the current pattern for free and you can get back in the QAL free patterns list
Next week I will share the new board, so enter your finished boards in the linky if you want to get the next patter for free!

Now let's take out the crochet hook, and let's put together these super easy pieces!!


TIP: if you don't like this technique, or you want pieces done with different techniques, I suggest you to wait :) several future boards have pieces that are round and of similar sizes. I will share different techniques for each board pieces so you could make checker pieces with the technique presented as Go pieces and viceversa. All those future posts are secret, so I cannot tell you what they are :) but if you don't like this one, just don't feel obligated to make the full set now.
