Block of the Month
I really like the idea
of block of the month projects. By the time that I've finished the
project, I've pretty much mastered or refined a new technique, didn't
have the whole project to finish in a short period of time (talk
about your fun buster - I can actually enjoy the learning process),
and I love being able to rationalize the cost because I'm only paying
a small amount at a time! That's my idea of a bargain! I don't know
about you, but rationalizing these days has become a fine art!
With these thoughts in
mind, we carefully chose our block of the month projects for this
winter. We wanted to have beautiful quilts that were a learning
process, but not so daunting that they scared us! You laugh! It
happens! Each of the projects were chosen to teach - a form of machine
appliqué, some background history of how our fore-mothers
began this "hobby" we elected to pursue or advanced piecing.
We hope that you'll enjoy whatever journey you chose to take with
these projects.
It's sometimes an unnerving
thought to start a project if you are unfamiliar with the technique.
We want to allay some of that nervousness and are holding "starter"
classes for anyone registering for the block of the months. Find
a scheduled class and actually come in and make your first month's
block. We'll have your kit ready and you'll walk away with the confidence
to continue with the process. There is no charge for the class if
you are registered for the block of the month.
So take a look at the
projects below and see if any of them tickle your fancy.
