2010 Block a Month
- Block a month for 2010 will begin in February and continue until December. Two class times will be offered: the 3rd Thurs. of the month 7-9 PM and 9-11 AM on the Tues. of the same week.
For the first time you will have a choice of quilts to make--both versions include the same blocks!
The first option is 'Old Glory'. A flag of sorts made with 6" blocks.
The second option has not been named yet. It is simply a two color quilt (of course, you can use more fabrics if you like, we'd be happy to help you figure that out!) made with 12" blocks. You can choose from the size shown (approx. 64X64) or information for a queen size will be available.
Instructor: Jill Shaulis   |   Date: 7-9 AM on the 3rd Thurs. of the month, 9-11 AM Tues. of the same week.   |   Cost: $70 + supplies (pattern is included in the cost)
Block A Month To-Go!
- This project is from our Civil War March 3x6 pattern. Sound familiar? The larger version was our block a month for 2009.
For eight months we will include the pattern & fabrics to complete a row (even the setting triangles) for $18. We'd be happy to ship to you for an additional $4. The final month will be sashing, border, & binding for $24 (+$5 to ship). The final month is optional - that way you can choose your own fabrics for this last step if you'd like.
Packets can be picked up or will be mailed on the 20th of each month. At sign-up you will pay for the first two months. Each month you pick up a packet (or it is sent to you), you will pay for the next. Those wanting their supplies to be shipped will be required to pay by credit card.
