Theresa and Joanne hold a sample of the
2012 Block of the Month.
After
several month of dwindling participation, our Block of the Month Program
has been totally revamped and members are very excited about it!
Beginning In January 2012 (and continuing
through November), Joanne Spencer, will give detailed instruction for a
block in this new series. Techniques for the blocks are varied and
she will use this program as a teaching tool to expand and develop
members' skills. Instead of making blocks for a drawing, quilters,
you will now keep your monthly blocks and receive instruction at the end
of the year for assembling them into a quilt you can keep! The quilt
will finish approximately 84" square (a 48" square wallhanging option is
also available).

Naturally, there is a fun catch! In
January everyone will receive the pattern for the first block at no
charge. Those who bring in their completed January block to the
February meeting will receive the next pattern at no charge while those
who do not will need to pay $1 for the second pattern and so on.
