A Block of the Month

11/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Has anyone ever done a Block of the Month Quilt and actually completed it in the time allotment?  Before I actually owned a shop I would only finish them on time if I was part of a class that was meeting and had to show the completed blocks from the month before.  That was my motivator!!  Now since owning a shop, I have to get the sample done so that I can sell these programs to my customers.  So, I cram an entire year of block making into 2-3 weeks.  I can tell you that this is not a fun way to do a Block of the Month!  It is CRAZY!!!!  I have brought this completely on myself, of course, because I have had the shop kit since February.  I just had too many other quilts that I had to get done for the shop and I didn't have the fabric in the shop yet to sell, so onto the back burner it went.  Well it's here now and it really is a pretty quilt for the Fall and if you start now you will have it done by Fall 2015.  If you don't want to make a big quilt, this is a perfect program to make each block as a separate little quilt to keep or give as a gift.  Here are a couple of the blocks (not quilted of course):

    Hi Everyone!  My name is Melanie Barrett and I have been quilting for 15 short years now.  I worked in a quilt shop for 7 of those years and I owned a quilt shop for the other 8.  Recently I decided to close the brick and mortar store and concentrate on online sales.  My favorite types of quilts to make are small and mini size.  I don't have a favorite fabric style, I like them all.  I find that my tastes change as I grow up!

    Splendid!
