Cotton Club Block of the Month

We are so excited to announce that the Granary will be offering the new Cotton Club Blocks of the Month program featuring patterns and fabrics designed by Bonnie Blue Quilts! The fabric collection was created around an antique border print from the mid 1800's, along with antique coordinates in varying shades of red and brown. The 78" x 85" quilt contains 45 sampler style 5" blocks set in vertical pieced columns. We call this a "blocks" of the month program because you will receive patterns for 4 or 5 blocks each month. The blocks are designed and grouped together utilizing a specific technique or similarity in block design, progressing from the easiest to the more challenging techniques. You will also receive monthly bonus projects also designed by Bonnie Blue.

The Cotton Club program will begin in September and run through August 2012. Kits run $24.95 plus tax per month; shipping is available for an additional cost. Call the shop today or come by for more details and to see our completed shop sample made by the Granary's Kris Clarkson! It's beautiful! The first 12 participants will receive a special Cotton Club zippered canvas tote bag! This quilt is recommended for intermediate to advanced quilters.

August 2011 Fat Quarters

Angela's BOM

Angela is continuing with the next installment of her Block of the Month program. Her adorable sample is pictured on the left.....it's even cuter in person! There's still time to sign up for this program. The Spring quilt was the first of the wall quilts and was completed in June. Each season's wall quilt features a quaint house and tree which change with each season; other blocks of seasonal motifs are unique to each wall quilt. You will learn various techniques in machine piecing and fusible machine appliqué-or hand appliqué if you prefer. Members will receive a kit for that month's section of the 33" x 45" project. If monthly meetings don't work for you, you can pick up your kits at the shop or they can be mailed. Membership fee is $25 per month and is offered by automatic credit card billing only. The fee includes your monthly class, quilt pattern and fabric for each of the blocks. Improve your hand or machine appliqué skills with an expert!

Happy Quilting!
