First Sunday Block Party Begins Feb. 6th
Come join the fun once a month at our First Sunday Block Party beginning Feb. 6th. We’re kicking off our latest Thangles BOM with a two-fer! Each month’s block kit will include the pattern and fabric to make two center blocks, which will be surrounded by a star setting. If you want to make the star sets as you go, you will want to purchase one of the finishing kits at the beginning of the program (or you may pick out your own fabrics.)
Choose from three color selections:
- Blue/Yellow
- Folk Art
- Firestorm
(Fabrics may vary from our sample blocks due to availability of fabric; we will make substitutions as necessary.)
Folk Art
Alternate Color Selections: Blue/Yellow or Firestorm (Batiks)
Registration fee is $12, which includes one package of 2” Thangles for the center blocks which will be included with the first block kit. Block kits are $1.00 per month, which could be free. You may opt to do more than one colorway, but only one set can be purchased for $1.00 per block; subsequent colorways will be $12 registration plus $3.00 per block kit.
Earn FREE BLOCK KITS when you make the block from the first kit you purchase, bring it to the shop between 1:00 & 1:15PM on the next month’s First Sunday, show it to us, and stay for a short demo/product review after which we’ll give you your next month’s block kit FREE! If you arrive after 1:15PM or can’t stay for the demo/review or if you miss a month, you may purchase the blocks for $5.00 each. Only one free block kit per person; subsequent colorways are $3.00 per block per month. If you send someone to pick up your block kit for you, the cost is $5.00. No exceptions, please.
Finishing kits are available for the Setting Stars ($34.99) and Border/Sashings ($44.99). Purchase both together and save 10% ($71.99). Finishing kits will be available in limited quantities. Finished quilt size is 67” x 94”. The Folk Art quilt is on display in the classroom, along with representative samples of the other two color choices.
If you don’t live close enough to join us for the First Sunday Block Party, this quilt will also be available online as a block of the month after March 1, 2010.
Register by January 25, 2010 and be entered to win a FREE complete finishing kit!
We hope you’ll join us. Where else can you get a monthly quilt pattern, new friends, learn new construction tips, see what everyone else is working on, be inspired, and the laughter…yes, we are cheap entertainment! You can’t go to the movie with your significant other and have a large buttered popcorn and soda for this low price of entertainment…and we’re a LOT more fun!
