Quilt Block Club: Holiday Gifts

Only 12 weeks til Christmas! It’s time to shake up the Quilt Block Club and start using up our orphan blocks to create some little gifties. Attend any and all sessions (I’ve added two extras) at no additional cost, or $10.00 if you are a pay-as-you-go friend.

All materials beyond your blocks will be provided for the orphan blocks projects, but feel free to bring your own coordinating thread and zippers if you prefer.

• October 4^th - Zippered wallet/phone case: small to medium block, large enough to surround paper money or phone plus one inch all around.
• October 4^th - Zippered pouch: small to medium block.
  
• October 18^th - Trivet/hotpad/china cushion: any size block, to place beneath or between things that need cushioning
• November 1st - Pie/casserole carrier: large block, plus sashing to increase size.
• November 15^th - Eyeglass case: small to medium block, large enough to surround glasses or phone plus one inch all around.
• November 15^th  - Appliqued dishtowel: any size block, to embellish a flour sack dish towel.
• December 6^th - Drawstring gift bag or wrist bag: any size blocks, two or four blocks with the same measurements to make a larger bag.

Important Stuff:

• All materials are provided, but if you have specific quilting fabrics you'd love to work with, bring them along!
• Quilt Block Club is suitable for anyone familiar with simple straight stitching on a domestic sewing machine. It's a welcoming space for both beginners and seasoned quilters.
• For our younger participants, minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for a shared creative experience.

Safety First:

• We're serious about safety. Closed-toed shoes are a must in all areas of the facility.
• Avoid dangling jewelry, lanyards, and the like around machinery.
• Keep hoodie and apron ties, long hair, and long beards securely away from the machines.
• Dates are subject to change. We'll do our best to ensure that everyone has a chance to make every block.
  

Get ready to stitch, share, and create lasting memories with fellow quilting enthusiasts. Quilt Block Club 2025 is not just about crafting beautiful pieces; it's about embracing the joy of quilting in a welcoming and inspiring community. See you on the third Saturday!
