New Block of the Month Program for 2009 – 2010!

Members of the Empire Quilters BOM Squad

The Empire Quilters BOM Squad is working overtime to bring you some dynamic new projects in 2009-2010. Each block takes under 20 minutes to complete, and they’re easy as pie. New quilters will learn some valuable piecing methods, and seasoned quilters will enjoy some new ideas too.

Visit: www.empirebom.blogspot.com. That’s where you’ll find all the photos and simple instructions. Post any comments or questions you may have. There will be something for everyone: reproduction style, solids, African style, 1930’s prints, even a quilt featuring clothing labels!

Here’s how it works: Bring your completed block(s) to the meeting and enter your name in the drawing. (If you bring two blocks, you enter your name twice.) The winner receives all the blocks and a stunning new quilt top is almost done! Stop by the BOM table at guild meetings to admire all the blocks before the drawing. (But you can’t win if you don’t “play.”) This is a fun way to make friends and feel more connected with the group.

There are no Quilt Police here — this is a Stress-Free Zone! So join the fun.

April 2010 Block of the Month: Double Friendship Quilt

Posted: February 14, 2010 – You know the Friendship block: a nine-patch with 4 half-square triangles. Well, this block is similar, but it has twice the number of triangles, therefore it's a Double Friendship block.

Fabric Recipe: This quilt will feature fabrics from the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. The fabrics in this sample block are from the "Happy Camper" collection by American Jane from Moda. Isn't it soft and sweet?
