12
Days of Christmas Wool Block of the Month
with
Pam and Kathi
Taking the basic patterns and inspiration from Nancy Halvorson’s book 12 Days
of Christmas, we have put our own twist on it and are using wool and cotton to
make this quilt as you go quilt. In this quilt you will be doing wool
appliqué and also some turned cotton appliqué. You can decide whether to
machine or hand stitch your appliqué. The background is simply pieced
with wool and cotton, adding borders. The backing will be added to each block so
that block can be quilted. We will put it all together after the 12 blocks
are stitched and you will have a finished quilt. Monthly class meeting
will be offered, but you can also pick up your block monthly.

Magnolia
Wool Block of the Month
with
Nancy M. Roelfsema
Magnolia
is a wool appliquéd quilt by Sue Spargo that will surely become a treasured
heirloom to be cherished for many years to come. This is how Sue describes
how she came to design and stitch this quilt.
“My Magnolia Quilt was inspired by home, garden and family and by the setting
in which I experience those three things - the small towns of Ohio. There is a town in
Ohio
called Magnolia. It is a wonderful place that I drive through on my way
to my friend Cathy’s home on one of Ohio’s lakes. Magnolia has many old homes with lovely porches looking out
onto colorful flower gardens. In designing the quilt I challenged myself to use
many of my collection of textural fabrics and embellishments, as well as
hand-dyed wool and cotton prints.”
Each

Nancy will have the kits ready for you to pick up or you may attend the monthly class

Hoop
Sisters TNT Embroidery Block of the Month with Pam
We have combined forces with Hoopsisters to offer their unique Embroidablock of
the Month program. The quilt for 2010 is entitled, “TNT”, Textures and
New Techniques” and is absolutely exquisite. Their technique of
combining embroidery with piecing and quilting is extraordinary. Last
year’s quilt, Crazy Compass was a huge hit, and we are happy to announce our
participation in this year’s program. We will be meeting monthly when
you will be able to receive your design and work on your block for that month or
watch the block demo. We welcome new students
to join in for the next several months.
