                                    BLOCK OF THE MONTH 2016-2017 GUIDELINES

WELCOME!  We hope you can join us for another year of fun, friendship and a beautiful quilt!  This year we will be using a new line of fabric from Moda by Minick & Simpson called Grand Traverse Bay.  The colors are mostly blues and tans.  You can check out the fabric by going online to modabakeshop.com  and entering Grand Traverse Bay.  We will show many of the fabrics at this BOM on October 14 and 15 and we would love it if you can join us.

Our quilt  this year is a Mystery Quilt and you will have a choice of which fabrics you would like to use from this line for your blocks and your background.  We will have additional fat quarters to purchase if you wish to have more variety in your blocks.   We will hand out a pattern each month and have a sample block to show and you will be free to use any of your fabrics to make your block.    We are also going to have a short cutting demo (approx. 15-20 mins.) following each meeting for anyone new to our group or for anyone  new to quilting.  The sign-up fee is $60.00 plus tax and includes fabrics and patterns for the blocks.  Finishing kits are extra and will be available a few months into the year.   Also, there will be no fee charged if you miss a meeting.  Your block may be picked up anytime the following weeks.   Any questions or concerns, please contact Sandy Winter (320-217-9879), Mary Hintzman (320-965-2767), or Dianne Tomczik (320-766-6770).  Also, check the blog at quiltnews1321.blogspot.com for any info and updates regarding BOM. 

PRESENTATION :   We will begin our meetings promptly at 10 AM on Fridays and 9:30 AM on Saturdays.  We will present what’s new around the shop, show any new items, patterns and fabrics, and go over any events and class announcements.  There will be a brief block instruction, Show and Tell and door prizes.  We will also have a short demo regarding a quick and easy project, hints, or maybe a kit to purchase.  We hope you can join us this year!
