Join us for our seventh year hosting the Thangles Buck A Block program.  This year's quilt comprises 24 blocks, so each month you will be making two blocks.  Thangles are a great way to introduce quilters to a different technique for creating half-square triangles.  It's also a great time-saver, cost-effective, and will ensure you have perfect half-square triangle units that make putting blocks together a breeze since everything matches with all of the points in tact.  It’s also an alternative for those who may be interested in the Saturday Sampler but are not available on Saturdays.  Of course, there’s nothing that says you can’t do both!  Here’s how this program works.  Each program member is eligible to purchase one block package each month for $1.  You can come to the shop to pick up your block any day throughout the month.  Any additional block kits for that month may be purchased for $2 each (in case you want to make a second quilt in a different color way).  If you miss a month or your block isn't finished, then you’ll need to purchase the previous month’s block(s) for $3 each to get back into the program.  You will need to come into the shop to pick up your own blocks; a friend can't do it for you.  This program will be offered in three color-ways to appeal to a broader audience.  Please sign up in advance so we can have your blocks ready for you in February to pick up.

YOU CAN SIGN UP ANYTIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

 

THIS IS THE PATTERN ONLY; OUR COLOR WAYS ARE MENTIONED ABOVE.
