April BOM - Village houses

First, we hope you are all home safe and healthy during this COVID-19 outbreak. And if you are one of the essential workers on the front line, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Please be safe.

Thanks also to those who have so graciously provided masks for family, friends and all essential workers. The generosity and talents of the quilting and sewing community is amazing!

ONE VILLAGE - TOGETHER

For the month of April, let’s put together our own version of a TMQG Village. The pattern, “VILLAGE” is offered compliments of Moda Fabrics and Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co.

Each block is around 5 1/2” x 7” unfinished. (Don’t worry about trimming it, our Community Quilts Committee members will do that.) Have fun with this! Put faces and/or other things in the doorways, use wild fabrics — let your imagination go crazy!

Make one, or two, or more houses, and bring them to the next TMQG meeting, which is pending reopening of the Environmental Services Building.

So stay tuned, keep sewing and stay safe! We hope to be sewing together and showing our “Stay Home - Stay Safe” creations soon.

August BOM - Anvil Block

This is one of the older quilt blocks, so it's kind of fun to try to give it a modern look with fabric choices and placement.

Blacksmiths (who used anvils) were big burly guys, so using Seahawks colors, gray, dark blue, lime green seems like a good fit.

Make it 12.5” unfinished, and as always, let the community quilt ladies do the final trim.

he tutorial link for for the block I showed at July Meeting seems to be broken. So I've made a couple from this tutorial. This one seems to give you more choices on fabric placement. Have fun!

July BOM - Low Volume Wonky Log Cabin

July's block is a Low Volume Wonky Log Cabin with slivers of some wild colored fabric. It is inspired by a post from Debbie Jeske at A Quilter's Table.

Blocks should be 12.5” unfinished - No need to trim. It's best if all blocks get their final trim with the same 12.5" ruler, so we’ll let the Community Quilt committee do the final trim!

Have fun with this one!

December BOM

The block of the month for December is the Improv Quarter Log Cabin, from A Quilter’s Table. Find the tutorial here.

Colors for this month are grey and yellow, and the size should be 12.5”, unfinished. Please bring your completed block to the next meeting!
