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.

February 2010 Block of the Month: Variable Fan
Posted: Jan 11, 2010 – Once you get the hang of making these fans "by eye," you'll want to use them in many of your quilts. Then you will see why I call it the Variable Fan. These are quick and easy to make, and they really add a nice touch. This method is my own invention (Karen Griska) and I am really excited about sharing it with you. I hope you love it. It takes a little practice, but it's worth it!
