Promoting and Perpetuating Block Party Current Year |
Welcome to Block Party! Block party is one of the staples of the Capital Quilters Guild. Every month there is at least one block for you to make and return the following month. At the meeting there is a sample of the block, directions, and sign-up sheets. Participants can take a photo of the directions or access them here on the website, on Facebook, or through links in the newsletter. 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 completed block the next month are entered into a drawing for the returned blocks. The winner can then use the blocks to complete a quilt, wallhanging, table-runner, or whatever else works for them. Many of these quilts are submitted to our charity quilt program, although this is not a requirement. Our May block was called Cherry Season. Our winners were Victoria Mastrianni and Vera Beers. We hope to see your finished quilts during show'n tell in the future! In June, we had a Color Mosaic block. Kits contained all the fabric needed. Please return all completed and uncompleted blocks and kits at the July meeting for a chance to win all the blocks. This month, July, we will have a scrappy Disappearing Nine Patch block. I hope you will come by the Block Party table and pick up a kit. Please note that you can access previous years Block Party blocks, Happy Sewing! BlockParty@CapitalQuilters.org |
