Seminole Sampler Block of the Month
We’re so excited to partner with Morning Glory Designs again in 2016 for this gorgeous “Seminole Sampler” Block of the Month! Our fabric kits will be sent out each month to coincide with Morning Glory Designs’ newsletter (sign up HERE!), which provides the FREE block pattern for that month. Seminole Patchwork is a traditional technique employed by the Seminole People of Florida to decorate garments and regalia. It dates to the earliest days of the 20th Century when sewing machines were made available to the Seminole, who quickly employed them to make these elaborate pieced bands. Seminole patchwork is unique in that it employs strips of brightly colored solid fabric pieced in strip sets then recut and combined to form new and complex-looking designs which are pieced in rows or bands. These bands form the basis for the highly elaborate skirts, shawls and capes for Seminole women and jackets and shirts for Seminole men. This rich cultural tradition is still carried on today in both clothing and ceremonial wear for the Seminole and in tourist goods offered to the public. The beauty and simplicity of the construction technique have made this a favorite with quilters, and you will quickly recognize that you have used this technique in other pieced projects you have made. For more information and to sign up for the Block of the Month fabric kits, go HERE. As with all our BOMs, there is no registration fee and shipping is included in your monthly cost. Deco Garden Block of the Month
Evocative of the Art Nouveau period with the look and feel of Tiffany stained glass, Deco Garden is a stunning design you will be thrilled to display. We're delighted to be partnering with Morning Glory Designs on this project! Our fabric kits will be sent out each month to coincide with Morning Glory Designs’ newsletter (sign up here!) which provides the FREE block pattern for that month. Beginning in late January or early February 2015, you can download the free block pattern from Morning Glory Designs’ (keep an eye out for the newsletter with the link!) and we will ship you the fabric kit for that block. (If you miss a download one month, you can buy the block pattern later from Morning Glory Designs.) This is a 13-month program that will include all the fabrics you need for the blocks, sashing and borders shown here for this 56"x62" quilt. The fabrics are all Anthology batiks with black Pimatex as the background fabric. As always with our BOMs there are NO registration fees and NO additional shipping charges. The cost you see here is what you will be billed each month.For more information and to sign up for the Art Deco Block of the Month, go HERE.
Bad Girls of the Bible Stained Glass Window Block of the Month
This second block of the month quilt in our three-part series highlights “Bad Girls of the Bible”, and is a follow-up to “Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible.” This program features familiar and not so familiar women in the Bible: Eve, Potiphar’s wife, Lot’s wife, Sapphira, Delilah, Rahab and more. Each block represents the story in which the women appear, and it’s up to you to read the stories if you choose. The pattern itself includes a brief description of the story represented by each block, and the last page of the pattern booklet provides guidelines on setting up a book study in your home or church if you have an interest in doing so. Our generous-sized lap quilt (54” x 72”) is made of premium batiks with solid black Pimatex on a limestone-brick background and encompasses both traditionally piecing and easy paper-piecing techniques. (If you’re new to paper-piecing this is a great project with which to start – super easy foundations let you see how easy and rewarding this technique can be!) We also include our exclusive tips and tricks for success with each block along with directions for framing each window and enlarging the quilt to the size shown (54" x 72"). Choose from the 5-month program for $28/month (USA), the 11-month program for $15/month (USA), or the full kit (available HERE). As with all our BOMs, shipping is included in the monthly price, and there is no registration fee. First kits will begin shipping in early October. Life on the Reef Block of the Month
From Barbara Bieraugel Designs, we’re thrilled to offer this follow up to Colorful Tropics: “LIFE ON THE REEF”. Life on the Reef is a 10-month program that results in a large (48” x 52”) wall hanging or small lap quilt. The easy patchwork background gives beautiful movement to this design. Swimming through the patchwork “reef” you’ll notice a sea turtle, Achilles Tang, Yellow Tang, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a (aka Humuhumu or the reef, rectangular, or wedge-tail triggerfish), Moorish Idol and a sea horse or a bottom of sea grass, kelp, elk horn coral and fan coral. The applique can be done with fusible or by hand – it’s your choice. Barbara’s excellent directions and tips make this an easy project to complete (even for those of us who shun the dreaded “A” word).As with all our BOMs, there is no registration fee and shipping is included in the monthly cost – no hidden charges and no surprises! You pay exactly what you see here: this 10-month program is $21 per month for our USA customers, $27 per month for our Canadian friends (to cover the additional shipping). First kits will begin shipping in mid-October and quantities are limited! Go HERE to sign up and for more information. Appalachian Memories Block of the Month
We call this "Grandpa's Barn Quilt" because each one of these beautiful barn blocks were lovingly hand stitched by Grandpa! Designed by Beth Dix of Primrose Lane in North Carolina, "Appalachian Memories" is one of a series called "Mama's Quilts" dedicated to Beth's mother Dolores.We created our Block of the Month program to be as simple as possible so that beginners and experienced stitchers alike can enjoy making this beautiful 74" x 92" quilt. All the fabrics for the top & binding are premium quilt shop batiks and the thread is Sulky's 12-wt in a beautiful chocolate brown. Additionally, we provide you with pre-printed embroidery designs on Fabri-Solvy so there is no tracing required on any of these blocks! We offer this program in a 13-month program for $22/month, or if you're an over-achiever we have a 6-month program for $40/month. As with all of our BOM programs there is no registration fee and shipping is included in your monthly cost. You get no added charges and no surprises! For more information and to sign up, go HERE. North by Northwest Block of the Month
This gorgeous new Block of the Month designed by Chris Hoover for Whirligig Designs features piecing plus applique in our gorgeous batiks. The fabrics we’re using are all premium quality Anthology batiks with a nearly-white batik background that has the barest hint of pastel color in it. We use all the same colors Chris used in her original design. This is a 12-month program and you’ll love Chris’ easy-to-follow instructions! The pattern does require the Easy Angle ™ and Companion Angle ™ rulers to complete, available here and here. The quilt finishes at 95” x 112”, an extra-large queen quilt or smallish king size. This quilt uses nearly 20 yards of fabric, and we have two block-of-the-month options. The 12-month program is $28.00 per month, which includes shipping within the USA. If you want to get it done faster, we offer a 6-month program for $54.00 per month.

In just five short months you can complete this lap quilt top that tells a story with every block! Each month you'll receive the fabrics for two (2) blocks or sections, and at the end of the program you'l have a beautiful top (approximately 33"x50") that can also be used to tell stories of some of the rebellious women in the Book of Genesis (although these days we'd think of them as independent thinkers!). If you don't want to go into those stories you'll simply have a lovely quilt to use yourself or give as a gift. This is a GREAT beginner project with quick gratification.
