At the meeting there is a sample of the block, directions, and usually a swatch of one or more of the fabrics to be used to complete the block. Participants can take a photo of the directions or access them on Facebook, in the newsletter, or here on the website page (limited printed copies will be available for participants.)
Kits of the fabrics to be used are available for free, and participants sign up to make the block, which is then returned at the next monthly meeting. All participants who return the block the next month are entered into a drawing for the returned blocks. The winner can then use the blocks to complete a quilt or whatever else works for them. Many of these quilts are submitted to our charity quilt program, although this is not a requirement.
The July block is the Churn Dash Variation. Each kit contains the grays, and the background fabrics, and participants add their own brightly colored fabric to complete the block.
In addition, we have an Appliqué Challenge block – a Sewing Machine Silhouette. The kits contain the silhouette fabric; participants choose their own background fabric.
