Block 14

this week is Pinwheel:

I hope that you are having fun with the blocks.
I am starting to imagine possible ways to sew them together, although I don't really have a plan at this point.  All I know is that I want to use lots of bright fabrics in the setting!
Remember, if you've done at least 10 blocks  (i.e. purchased at least ten, they don't all need to be sewn up), you can get the fabric for your settings at a 30% discount now.  
Happy sewing!

Block 13, Reflected Mountains

Today we have a new block called Reflected Mountains,

Hope that you are enjoying lots of sewing time lately,

Sneak Peek-- Black White and Bright

This morning I have been working on some patterns for the upcoming Saturday Surprise Sampler Blocks that we run at the store each year.  
This is a sneak peek at what's to come!

(sorry for the blur factor, it wasn't intentional)

 As you have noticed by now, the color scheme is "Black, White and Bright".
In working with the fabrics, I have started to group them into sets,
1. black, and black on black....

 2. White, with black prints

 3. Black, with white prints

4. Accents-- the brights, these are intense brightly colored monotone fabrics, which I haven't taken a photo of... .
the idea of the accent is that there will be a little bit of a bright color in each block.
(One thing that you can do is that if you want your accent to be the same in each block, you could just get a meter of some bright fabric that you love and substitute it in each block for the accent, and save all the varied bright pieces to use for some other project)

The first block is available on Saturday September 8th, which is fast approaching! 
This year it also co-insides with the Show and Tell of last years blocks!  Be sure to mark that on your calendar!  We will start the Show and Tell at 10 a.m. sharp!  (Don't worry, we will have coffee and refreshments if that is early for you,     and even if it's not)
If you bring your project from last year to show, then you will get the first block kit free that day!
