We are pleased to announce a
new block of the month program starting July 7, 2008.
This new BOM is to be called “Block of Many Colors III”. It follows in the footsteps
of our previously very successful Block of Many Colors I & II
programs.
The Block of Many Colors III uses a main focus
fabric in the center of each block that helps pull together the other sixteen
fabrics used in the blocks. The color
palette for the Block of Many Color III coordinates the main focus fabric’s
colors of salmon, gold, green, cranberry & deep purple.
This Block of
the Month differs from its predecessors as the blocks are designed to fit
together without sashing, creating a secondary, small star block where the 16”
blocks’ corners meet.
Christmas Block of the Month
It’s not too late, this BOM
started in May but we still have openings available.
The purpose of this five month BOM is to end with
enough time for you to finish your beautiful quilt by the holidays!
We are basing the BOM on the beautiful and
much-called-for Nancy Halvorsen’s “12 Days of Christmas” panel by Benartex,
shown at the left. The setting will be a Raggedy Ruth Design original. See shop or web for the actual BOM
and details. Sign-up in person now!
Congratulations Ruby Logan for being drawn as our
bi-monthly Long Arm 20% off Coupon winner. As part of our newsletter
publishing, we draw a name from our Long-Arm appointment calendar. Eligible entries
include anyone who scheduled & kept a quilt check-in appointment during the
prior two months.
