BOM: Journey of a Quilter (JOQ) (entry 56)

Hi Everyone, thought I would do a quick blog posting about the Block of the Month Starting up pretty soon. I’m hoping to have those who want to join sign up before the 15th of January. The pattern portion of the kits will be sent to me around the 25th of the month from Australia then I will add all of the goodies (cottons, silks, flosses, pins, needles, etc) and get them in the mail.

When I initially put the poll out there for voting between Journey of a Quilter and Kitten’s Tale, I received an overwhelming response of 40 for JOQ and 30 for KT. So far I’ve had about 10 sign up for Journey of a Quilter which is fabulous and thanks to those of you who’ve committed.

I’m still waiting on the fabrics for Kitten’s Tale, I’m using this awesome line of fabrics: Feline Friendship by Henry Glass that I thought would be purrrfect. The tones in the colours are similar to that as shown, here’s a preview of some of the fabrics, I’m hoping to get this whole line but still waiting for confirmation. There will also be silks mixed in with these can you say luxurious.

 If you want to be contacted when Kitten’s Tale is available for sign up, please email me and I will add you to the list.

I will offer a prize each month as encouragement to get your block finished and a digital photo sent to me for our photo blog page. Initially based on the 40 interested gals I had selected the 5″ Gingher Designer Scissors complete with collectors tin 🙂 and I would still like to be able to offer these or something as fabulous but that will require more participants. If we don’t get a min of 30 to join, I will of course have another great prize each month.

If you have any questions about my Block of the Month clubs, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Have a happy and creative day.
