This is an awesome FREE applique block of the month pattern from P3 Designs.

January

February

http://www.p3designs.com/shop/category/forever-blooming-2014-bom/ Did I mention it's FREE!!!! You get one block each month to download and you just pick the fabrics and I'll help you learn how.

It might look daunting but never fear it's easier than it looks, if you want to learn how to do Pearls method of applique come to the Sewcial this month, Feb 12, 10am -2pm  or 6pm -10pm or both and I'll show you how to start, applique demos will be at 12 noon and 7pm.

If you want to be added to my email list for Sewcial reminders send me your email address to rustysswetie@gmail.com and I'll get you added.

Since we couldn't hold our sewcial on the 8th, due to an unscheduled illness, we will have it this week on the 15th from 6-10. We will be starting a Calendar Block of the Month, the instructions are attached. You'll just need fat quarters or even scraps and since every month is different you won't need to worry about total yardage.

Instead of the morning session we will be at the Utah Valley Quilt Guild meeting from 10:30 - 12N at the Lindon Community Center 25 N Main St Lindon if you want to car pool let me know.

 There is two parts to the guild meeting, the first part (the Forum) will be Megan Legas conducting an audience-interactive lecture to help you with  old, worn, stained, damaged, unfinished quilts, tops, or blocks;  she can give you advice to rescue, repair,  finish/refinish, or just respectfully retire your pieces.  So bring what you need help with.

Then we break for lunch and then the second part is from 1- 2:30 and will be a trunk show from Nina Cooke, last years Guild president. You can go to either one or both, I'm going to both.

Hope you can make it!

This is the Block of the Month quilt.
