Hello Quilters!!!!
It's been a fast and furious summer here in the big City!!!! Lots of quilt shows, one retreat down and one to go and of course....lots of quilting!!! I hope you all have had a great summer with family, friends and activities! I had some issues with my site in the early part of May which resulted in being down and not completely functional. However, all issues have been resolved and we are up and running at full capacity again!
I still have several openings for the new digital Block of the Month Program by Moda, Greenpiece. It is a 76x76 quilt and includes fabrics from the Aster Manor line by 3 Sisters, Collections for a Cause-Alliance by Howard Marcus, Vine Creek by Kansas Troubles, Blessings by Brannock & Patek and Close to My Heart by Laundry Basket Quilts. All very beautiful fabrics with the option of wool applique' for the alternate blocks or machine embroidery. In the next few weeks Moda will have the instructions for hand embroidery as well if that is your preferred method! The prices and other particulars are listed on the site in the BOM-Kits section.
Also in the BOM-Kits section you can find my 4-Patch Frolic Block of the month. This is a twelve month program beginning in August. The first month will include the setting kit and the first month's block, each additional block will be shipped during the third week of each month thereafter. Each month's block is a basic four patch block, you will make four of them and then put them together for a finished block. How you twist and turn your four blocks will determine the look of the finished block! Super easy, great for beginner quilters wanting to do a block of the month program. The applique pieces are optional, if you choose to do them, you will notice that they are large and not very detailed which again makes this BOM beginner friendly.
I am still working on photographing my kit sampes and hope to have some new kits to add to the site so be sure to check back!
I've been going to the Quilting House in Breckenridge on the fourth Tuesday of each month with a Mystery Demo and that has been going really well, so if you are in that area during that time, be sure to stop and and visit with us!
The first summer retreat has come and gone and was great fun! I should have some pictures posted in the Quilt Gallery in the next few weeks or so. The next retreat is the last weekend in August and I am expecteding to have a full house and loads of fun! The variations in color in these quilts are remarkable! If you haven't got the book, Day & Night, by Eleanor Burns, you need to get it, trust me, it is a lot of fun and easy to do! The finished product is very stricking. T
I still have a few shows left for the end of the year, they are as follows:
August 14-15 - Quilt Plano - Plano, Texas
September 18-20 - Kaleidoscope of Quilts - San Antonio, Texas
November 13-14 - A Symphony of Quilts - Gainesville, Texas
Until next time, happy quilting - Angela
