Inspiration

This is the inspiration for our newest Block of the Month

Solid Sampler - Sorry the picture is a little blurry.

This will be a fun project for anyone who is looking

for something a little different. Using Marcus Brothers

Centennial Solids and Lori Smith’s Pattern Road to Freedom

we will create a great Solid Sampler. I am not sure how I

 will set the blocks but that is part of the fun!

Each month you will receive enough fabric for 5 - 5” blocks.

One time pattern purchase is required.

This is a one year program and shipments will

begin in October.

Pattern - $14.00

Monthly Kit - 18.00

 

We hope you decide to join us. Here is a look at a few blocks

Don't forget about our free Back to School gift.

The popular book from Rosemary Youngs

will be brought to life in our new

Block of the Month. Each month you will

receive fabric to make 4 blocks, instructions

for each block, either large – 6” or small – 3”.

(you will receive both sizes so no need to decide now)

This will be a 12 month program and will

begin shipping in September. I know a lot

of you already have the book but if you do not

be sure to pick up a copy and read along.
