Block-of-the-Month Clubs

 

 

Quilt in a Day – "Quilt Blocks on American Barns" BOM

                                                      

        ...Starting January 14th!

 

  This is a 12-month program.  In this BOM you will

  be able to do something unique and different this

  coming year!  For years people have asked, can

  I use a different color? ...or they like to BOM but

  didn’t like the colors. Well here’s your chance to

  try this one out!  This BOM will be different than

  no other.  You purchase the book and the rulers

  necessary and YOU pick out the colors of your

  choice!  Most of the quilt is done with Fat

  Quarters. I will teach you the cool methods that

  Eleanor Burns brings out in this book. Some are

  a little tricky but once you’ve done them, you will

  want to make a complete quilt using that one

  block. So many great ideas in just one book -

  Eleanor does it again!  Signups are being taking

  now.  Classes will be held on the 2nd Saturday

  of the month from 10:30-12:30 pm starting in

  January.

 

                                                              Cost:  $10.95 per month plus supplies.

From the Quilt Company, this is a 6-month

program. These barns have Country Charm! 

Each barn in the new 6-pattern BOM has its

own personality...”Animal Junction” has

Country Spool” has a quilt on the side of the

barn, “Lucky’s Barn” has a horseshoe button

displayed over Lucky the Horse, and “Liberty

Farm” has fireworks for sale!  So much more…

be held on the 3rd Saturday of the month

from 10:30-1:30pm starting in February.
