What can I say... other than "I'm addicted and happy to be!!"
I LOVE to quilt... LOVE IT! and I've found some Soul Sisters to help me celebrate this new found love...
Justin's Aunts: Shauni, Pat and Kathy. Love them!
Once a month we gather for the Free Block Club! 12 classes yields 12 blocks (or this year they are doing 4 6 inch blocks per month,) and that equals one super cute quilt in one year! The most exciting part about the class is that first month you buy your square pattern, THEN if you complete it by the next class (a whole month) you get the next pattern for FREE! SO if you do your homework, you could very well make a whole quilt top for $5.50!! (That is serious LOVE, folks!)
Another exciting feature is THE theme. This years theme is Oregon Trail Stitches! They take us along this virtual trail starting in MO and ending in OR... stopping along 12 points and then we learn history AND learn a new block pattern! SUPER FUN!
First Stop along the Oregon Trail was in Kansas:
this block pattern is called the Kansas Dug-Out! (I'm making this quilt for Caitlin, using the reproduction 1930's Gracie's fabrics!!)
...And i got so excited, so i decided to also make a few more squares for my little William:
Here is the pattern and fabrics for this month, and i still need to pick out the fabrics for Will's Quilt, but I'll post pictures when I'm through.
I Heart Quilting!
