Block Of The Months

This is a truly unique BOM. First we will be having monthly meetings (if you choose to attend) to chat about the block construction, use of the fabrics you receive, how to use templates without fear, and finishing your quilt. Bring your color pencils! This program is set up to get everyone to work outside their box, and to make their quilt truly their own. You will be receiving your pattern, and 3 fat eighths of batiks each month, along with a set of templates and your finishing pattern.

Meetings are the 4th Tuesday of each month 9:30 am or 6:00 pm beginning Feb 28th. Register for the meeting of your choice

$11.00 monthly

Each month you will receive historical info, stories and quotes from the children who lived through the civil war. There is flexibility with this BOM in that you have a choice of creating a queen size quilt, or you can choose to create a smaller quilt each quarter.

For all the gals who love embroidery, this lovely project will have your fingers and needle flying, as you complete one larger, or two smaller squares each month. Each month you will receive your background fabric, pattern, and Cosmo variegated floss. Also this year, your finishing fabrics will be included in the monthly cost, which you will receive in month 12. Next year at this time you will be enjoying a beautiful embroidered work of art!

These lovely wool mats will be a delight to appliqué each month. They are simple enough for a beginner, and easy to embellish for the more advanced hand appliquér (I think that is a word).

We did Patch Abilities Monthly Mini's last year, and the program was a huge success. For 2012 they have come out with 12 new designs, and 12 new metal toppers that are show stoppers! They are just too cute to pass up. This year's Mini's use the fabric paint sticks and stencils for embellishment, which are included.
