Tetris Quilted Square Week 1

This was the first week in the Tetris Quilt-A-Long over at Happy Quilting. Melissa's Quilt-A-Long Theme is what inspired the Tetris Crochet-A-Long that we are doing each week right here at Smalltown Dreamz. This is a first for me in both the Quilt and Crochet-A-Longs. I am so excited to see both when they are finished. The game Tetris was a classic for both me and my Husband.

Head on over to Happy Quilting and check out everyone else's blocks. There is still plenty of time to get involved. There are some awesome prizes to be won each week and then at the end.

Over the weekend I had started sorting through my already made 6"x6" squares of fabric to pick my favorites for this event.

Here is my square for the Week 1 link up

Fun Upcoming Blog Events

I have some exciting news!!! Next month I will be joining along in my first quilt-a-long. There is no hiding that my family loves the classic video games. My first patterns that I started to design was  Mario Inspired Characters. Well Tetris would be another one of those beloved classics.



Melissa over at Happy Quilting is going to be running a Tetris Quilt-A-Long starting in mid July. You can find the link over in my blog hop buttons. I am so excited to be joining a long in this event. Like I said this will be my first quilt along, so I have to admit I am a bit nervous...... However that is not the only cool Tetris news I have to share.

Drum Roll Please........

I will also be holding my very first Crochet-A-Long Starting the first week of July. This Crochet-A-Long is going to be in the same Theme Tetris. Every week I will release a new section of the pattern. This will run as a 15 week event and will go as follows:


Week 1-12  each week we will make 1 -7 in by 7 in square for a total of 12 squares.
Weeks 13 & 14 we will work on the border edging and to finish catching up for anyone behind. 
Week 15 we will present our finished afghans in a Link-Up Gallery 


Also everyone that participates will receive the pattern for free as the sections are released. However if you do not participate then after the Crochet-A-Long you will then need to purchase the pattern in one of my shops. 


After the Crochet-A-Long is finished the links to the pattern will be deleted.


 I am very excited in doing both events. I know my family is excited to get both a quilted and a crocheted version of our beloved Tetris Game. If you would like to join in on the Tetris fun make sure you become a follower so that you can get updates when the first pattern will be released. 




I will be updating you on both events as they progress. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for this crochet along please email me at smalltowndreamz@gmail.com 


I will be releasing the rest of the details as we get closer to the start of the event!
