Did you see Craft Night With Kimberbell on October 23, 2025? You might say it was "blooming" with creativity. You might also say the projects were "out of this world." 😊
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's first talk first about Craft Night With Kimberbell, just in case you don't know what that is . . .
Craft Night With Kimberbell
Craft Night With Kimberbell is a live broadcast that happens about once a month on our Facebook and YouTube channels. Kim and Cassie take Kimberbell designs and reimagine them in new ways!
It's fun, it's silly, it's creative, it's inspiring. (And there's a LOT of laughter!) This broadcast is an hour of hanging out with Kim and Cassie, giggling and being inspired and feeling like you've been with friends.
Also, later in the show, Abby comes on and shares a delicious recipe. It's delightful. (I especially like this segment because Abby brings the food to the office and we all get to enjoy it!)
And that, my friends, is Craft Night With Kimberbell. If you missed it, you can watch all of the episodes HERE! You can watch the past videos whenever you want, so don't worry if you miss the live. (We've got you!)

Here's how Cassie put her flower quilt together!
Cassie's Notes & Tips
Fabric Requirements
- (21) 10 x 10" pieces of fabric (OR 1/2 of a layer cake/10" stacker).
- 13 pieces will be used for the flowers.
- One will be cut into 2.5x2.5" squares to use for flower centers.*
- The other 7 will also be cut into 2.5x2.5" squares to use for Irish Chain Blocks.**
-
2.25 yards of fabric for the background**
-
Cut 13 pieces of 12x12."
-
Cut remaining fabric into 2.5x2.5" squares.
-
-
44" x WOF for backing
-
1/4 yard for binding
-

Kimberbell Project Batting
Cassie's Instructions
-
Make 13 flower blocks with 12x12" pieces of fabric as the base for Floral Applique 1.
(Cassie used the largest size flower, but any of the provided sizes will work great.)Note: Use a 10x10" piece of fabric for the flower applique and one of your center 2.5x2.5" pieces as the middle of the flower. For best results, use Fusible Backing to cover the full back of the 12x12" background fabric and your 10x10" flower fabric. -
Using 16 background pieces of 2.5x2.5" fabric and 9 pieces of 2.5x2.5" pieces of fabric, assemble an Irish Chain Block. Cassie used three colors from her layer cake. (Make sure to press seams as you go!)
-
Trim all blocks to 9x9" and arrange in the pattern you'd like.
-
Stitch blocks together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, pressing as you go (either open or to the side).
-
When quilt top is assembled, make a quilt sandwich with the top, a piece of Project Batting in the middle, and your backing fabric on the bottom. Using Clear Blue Tiles and Kimberbell's background quilting library, add your background quilting. (Watch Kim's Clear Blue Tiles webinar HERE!)
-
Add your binding! (Please see Common Questions About Binding HERE!)

Space Quilt
Kim had a lot of fun with the Astronaut Appliuqe 1 design! First, she put together this STELLAR space quilt (complete with photo astronaut faces) and Kimberbell's Space 2 background quilting design.
*Note: Kim printed the photo faces on a sublimation printer. She explains how this works at the 53:20 mark in the video!

Kim's Alien
As part of the quilt, Kim also made a darling alien stuffie! To do this, she used the Yeti North Pole Stuffie (the 6x10 size) for the main body. She then attached arms and legs (diagram found HERE )!

Alien Pocket
Kim also made a pocket on the quilt for the alien so he could be snugly tucked into his blankie, just like the child will be cozy in the overall quilt.
She made the pocket from the 8 1/2 x 8 1/2" Space 1 Block-by-Block quilting design AND stitched it with glow-in-the-dark thread! (Isn't that a fun touch?!)
To see Kim explain how she made her projects, click the video below and go to the 23:23 minute mark!
*Psssst! Kim put the quilt, the alien, and a couple of space books in the Kimberbell Mint Jelly Tote! What a fun gift idea, right?
