The Livestream Calendar That Keeps Crafters Coming Back

David Smith · 2026-10-01

There's something special about gathering with fellow makers, even when you're miles apart. Our weekly livestreams on the Fat Quarter Shop and FlossTube channels have become the heartbeat of our community—and honestly, they're the highlight of our week too. Whether you're a quilter, a cross-stitcher, or just love being around creative energy, these streams are your invitation to stitch, laugh, and learn alongside us. ### Why We Started Sharing a Monthly Schedule A few years back, we realized something: life gets busy. Between work, family, and that ever-growing pile of fabric you swore you'd use, it's easy to lose track of when your favorite stream goes live. So we put together a simple monthly calendar to help you plan ahead. No more "Oh no, I missed it!" moments. Just pure, uninterrupted stitching time. Each month, we publish the full schedule right here on the Jolly Jabber Blog. Think of it as your roadmap to everything we're making, chatting about, and sneak-peeking in the weeks ahead. We also post weekly reminders on social media, so if you're scrolling through Instagram, you'll see a friendly nudge before each stream. ### How to Stay in the Loop We know not everyone lives on social media—and that's totally fine. Here are a few easy ways to keep up: - **Follow us on Instagram:** For quilting livestreams, follow @FatQuarterShop. For cross stitch, follow @FQSXStitch. We post reminders, behind-the-scenes clips, and occasional giveaways. - **Download the calendar:** If you prefer a paper copy or just want to save it to your phone, simply right-click the calendar image in our monthly blog post and download it. It's yours to keep. - **Check the blog:** Every month, we drop the new schedule on the Jolly Jabber Blog. Bookmark it, and you'll never miss a beat. ### What Makes These Livestreams Different We don't just show up and sew. We bring the same energy you'd find at a local quilt shop—except you can join in your pajamas. You'll get first looks at new fabrics, tips and tricks from our team, and real-time answers to your questions. Plus, there's something magical about creating together, even through a screen. > "The best part of livestreaming is the community. It feels like we're all sitting around the same table, sharing stories and stitches." — A note from our team ### A Little Reminder for October October is packed with cozy vibes, and we've got a lineup that'll make you want to curl up with your WIP (work in progress). From fall-themed quilts to spooky cross-stitch patterns, there's a little something for everyone. So grab your favorite beverage, settle into your craft corner, and join us when you can. Even if you can only catch part of a stream, you're always welcome. ### Stay Connected—We'd Love to See You At the end of the day, this isn't just about schedules or calendars. It's about connection. It's about that shared joy when you finally nail a tricky seam or discover a new favorite thread color. So whether you're a longtime follower or just found us, we hope you'll pull up a chair and stitch with us soon. Don't forget to download the October calendar, follow us on Instagram if you haven't already, and mark your favorites. We can't wait to spend another month making beautiful things with you. Happy stitching, friends!
