Embroidered Quilt Block of the Month

LunchBox Merry Christmas Quilt

This is another, but very different style of “Block of the Month” Quilt.  We have chosen the LunchBox Quilts Merry Christmas Quilt  to be our 2010 – 2011 Embroidered Quilt Block of the Month project.  All the blocks in this quilt are created using your embroidery. This class will be getting together on the second Thursday evening of every month.  You will need to purchase the CD in order to get the material list embroidery patterns for this project.  If you would like to purchase this CD ($44.99) from us use this link.

We will be making this project in the following order:

Come join us as we create this wonderful quilt, piece by piece, month by month.   If you have never created a quilt using your embroidery machine before, don’t worry, you will have help with every step and by the end of the year you will have a wonderful quilt to decorate your home.  Don't worry if you miss a month (or more) you can always catch back up.
