Y Not? BOM March

We are now on the third block! This is a really fun mosaic block. Blocks are now available in the store for pickup. You have until the 10th to pick them up for free! Don’t forget to bring in February’s block to show that you have it done.

There are several demonstration videos below. The first is on how to measure and sew a scant quarter of an inch seam. A scant quarter of an inch is a seam one thread width shy of being a quarter of an inch. The thread in a scant quarter of an inch should line up next to the quarter inch mark on your ruler when your fabric is flush with the edge of the ruler.The second video steps you through the block construction and has helpful pointers on how to match up your pieces.

This mosaic block would look great repeated through out a quilt. It has hidden pinwheels that appear when you put multiples next to each other. If you like this block and having your pieces die cut for you, contact us at wishuponaquilt@bellsouth.net or give us a call at 919-782-6363 and we can help you put your own custom quilt kit together. We’d be happy to calculate the fabric needed to produce the number of blocks you want and help you select fabric. There is a small cutting fee.

Feel free to contact us if you have questions or need help.

Happy Sewing!

November BOM -Two Patch Quilt

We are fast coming up on the season of Thanksgiving, pumpkins, and turkey (yum.). The November BOM kits are ready so be sure to come in and pick them up before the 10th. (You might want to think about completing some of your Christmas shopping and filling out your wish lists too while you’re in. )

Here is this month’s instructional video.

Happy Quilting!

October BOM

Ooo I am enjoying the cooler weather in the evenings. I love sweater (and quilt) weather. There is nothing like cuddling under a favorite blanket witha cup of tea or a good book – maybe even both!

This month’s kit has some refreshing squares in it. A nice break after all the triangles in the last two kits.

Here is this month’s instruction video.

Kits are available from today till the 10th so hurry in. There’s a late fee if you wait till after the 10th.

Happy sewing!

April's Batik BOM

April's Kaffe BOM

Wow! April has snuck up on me! I knew it was coming but it’s weird how months that start in the middle of a week throw me off. Don’t let it throw you off! Be sure to bring in March’s finished BOM so you can get April’s kit. You’ll want to pick your kits up before April 10th.

It’s been brought to our attention on how helpful it would be to have both color ways pictured in the directions. We are working on it. We weren’t able to get both pictures in the directions for April but they will be in May’s and future directions. We agree it was getting confusing with the Kaffe’s (those  fabrics are just so unruly! ) For now you’ll just have to reference the pictures on the blog to double check fabric placement. Thanks for the feedback. It does help us improve the program.
