Lava Lampalong: Week 02
It’s week two of the Lava Lampalong, and I’m starting to see more and more lava flowing across the socials! The stated goal this week is to complete four lava lamp blocks. I’ll show you mine next week, if you show me yours! For now, make sure you read on til the end of this post for a special giveaway announcement open to all participants! First though, I wanted to give fiery shoutouts to our prize sponsors for the Lava Lampalong!
You may have seen my recent unboxing of my new Mettler thread cabinet on Instagram (IG: molli_sparkles). I didn’t know I could have a favourite piece of furniture, but I’ve got one now! So I guess it goes without saying that Mettler and I are joining forces for some colourful times ahead. They are a proud sponsor of the Lava Lampalong and have several decorative swag bags full of Mettler thread, Vliesofix, Soluvlies, and Prym products to give away throughout the next few weeks. If any of you are going to be at the Australasian Quilt Convention in Melbourne on Saturday & Sunday, 13-14 April, you can come check out Mettler and Molli together! Selfies are encouraged! #mettlerandmolli
Here locally, Wendy from The Next Stitch is shouting one Lava Lamper a $50 gift certificate to her shop The Next Stitch. I’m a frequent shopper of the The Next Stitch, and if you’ve never perused, be prepared to set aside a few hours! This shop will fulfil all of your Ruby Star Society daydreams. If solids are more your vibe, you’ll find large selections of both Bella and Devonstone available as well. Don’t forget to check the sale sections, because I know I’ve found more than a few don’t need, must have fabrics there to fill up my cart! If you’re needing a few more wallpapers for your Lava Lamp blocks, start here!
For my groovy American friends, Julie at Intrepid Thread has an incredible prize on offer. She’ll be sending a special someone the Quilting with Liberty book along with four Liberty charm packs. (Excuse me, am I eligible for this prize?!) If you’ve known me more than a hot minute, you’ll know that Julie and I go waaaaay back. Intrepid Thread actually hosted my very first giveaway way back when I was a baby quilt blogger! Julie and I have been friends ever since, and I make sure every visit to California includes time with her! Her shop is now the premier place for all things Tilda, Liberty, and Dutch Heritage. If you’re looking for your floral fantasy, Intrepid Thread is the place to start! Can you imagine a Liberty x Lava Lamp quilt?! TDF!
So about that giveaway, right?! I wanna see all y’all showing off your lava lamps. Let’s get lit! Post a photo of your Lava Lamp block with the hashtag #lavalampalong on Instagram or Facebook to be in the running for a fabulous thread prize from Mettler Thread! This is open to anyone, anywhere letting their lava flow! I’ll do a random scroll / draw at the end of the weekend 31 March. Good luck, and don’t worry, more giveaways on their way, so keep making those blocks! Can we get a round of applause for our sponsors!! Whoop! Whoop!
