  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 April block was called Sou'Wester Sue.  Our winners were Denise MacMillan and Kim Zebrowski.  We hope to see your finished quilts during show'n tell in the future!  

In May, we had two Cherry Season blocks - a Spinning Star block and an appliqué cherry block.  Kits contained all the fabric needed.  Please return all completed and uncompleted blocks and kits at the May meeting for a chance to win all the blocks.

This month, June, we will scrappy Color Mosaic block.  I hope you will come by the Block Party table and pick up a kit.

June is my last month in charge of Block Party.  Your wonderful volunteer, Gloria Rangel, will be taking over in July. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Block Party table for a chat or to pick up a kit over the last 2 years.  

Happy Sewing!
