Bringing back the pre-cut, take home mystery quilt block

Hello Friends!

Hope this day finds you doing well.

In 2017 I came up with an idea for a Sew-Along consisting of pre-cut quilt blocks that participants took home to complete and assemble, of traditional quilt blocks. It does not seem that out of the ordinary except, and there is always a catch, participants did not know the blocks or the colors of the fabrics used, they were getting. It was a complete mystery. The Blocks are 12” finished.

Please read below how this program works. :)

The idea is to invite Improvisation, Whimsy & a Make-Do attitude into our creativity! WHY?

Well here are a few ideas:

  1. Get outside of our comfort zone (try different designs and textiles)

  2. Sew comfortably at home/even on snow days

  3. Have something creative to do during winter

  4. Practice our piecing techniques

  5. LOL - Laught out loud at the fabric design and colors you receive

  6. Take a Chance…this will never get old

  7. Meet like-minded people

  8. Celebrate at the end at the shop if you can make it or share your progress

  9. and the list goes on.

I’m bringing this back in 2024. I can Ship your block anywhere in the contiguous US. EVERYONE can participate. I also send a photo of the block it is supposed to be but you can make up your own configuration and piece it any way you choose. Please note: previous sewing experience is recommended for success.

This is a self led project with whole payment due in advance. Refunds not available.

Please join us! it is fun to be surprised. You can also visit me at the shop to discuss each block or sew it at the shop at no charge!

First Block ready Mid January 2024 and continues for 10 months. All blocks come pre-cut and ready to SEW. Only 1 block per month.

Below are samples from a few of the participants from 2017. Fabrics will differ for 2024. At the end of the year we have a small get together to talk about the project and enjoy a few snacks!
