Here's A Sneak Peek of the BOM Blocks

Hello All!

Sandra, Margaret and I are hard at work on the new Block of the Month Quilt.  Here are pictures of two of the Barn Blocks that will be in the quilt (i.e. - remember you can embellish your blocks however you want - the animals / peoples that are on these blocks are some that we have in our stash  - we have purchased a fat quarter each for everyone who joins the club of cows and a fat quarter of pigs....but you can add whatever makes you happy):



This is the centerpiece barn for the quilt - the Monitor Barn

This is the Gothic Barn block

 
When we contacted Quilt In A Day to order the books, we were able to borrow 2 or 3 of their versions of this quilt to display in the shop for this Block of the Month Club.  The dates we will have their versions on loan will be June 23rd through July 28th.  That will give us lots of options to enjoy while we get started on this fun Block of the Month pattern.

The cost of the Quilt Blocks on American Barns Block of the Month will be as follows:  $40 per person sign up fee; $25 + tax each month for the block(s) - i.e. some months their will be two blocks in that month which is why we set it up per month and not per block.  This program will run for 11 months.  If you make it all the way to the end, you will receive a $30 store gift certificate to be used as you please.  We will be including a color picture of each quilt block in each month's packet so everyone will have it for reference. 

We are planning to have a small party with food and drinks for everyone the first Saturday (June 28, 2014).  We will also have gift bags for everyone who joins us for this fun project!

If you have any questions or want to sign up for this fun project over the phone, call the shop at (931) 682-3746.  If you are not local but want to participate, we will be happy to take a credit card number to keep on file so we can ship you the block(s) every month (you will have to pay the shipping charge, but we will be as economical as possible).

I will have a list of dates for the Block of the Month available at the first meeting on the 28th of June for us all to look over. 

Please come and join us for this Block of the Month project.  It's going to be lots of fun, and we will always be available to assist anyone with any questions.  If you know you want to join us, sign up as soon as you are able so we can be sure we have plenty of books for our first meeting.  I can't wait to see all of you and I can't wait to get started on my version!

Everyone take care and have a wonderful week!
