Stitches & Quilt Blocks — Next Year’s Club

I finally got around to counting up the votes for this (I’m a charter member of the procrastinator’s club) and the winner for a club theme for next year is stitches and quilt blocks.

I’m excited because quilts always inspire me and this is such a wonderful way to learn new stitches. Best of all, with mostly square sides or true diagonals, compensation is really easy.

It will also give us a wonderful way to explore colors through the projects. I’m going off to do some hard-core designing. And I also need to know your opinion for how you would like to see these packaged. There are three options, which I’ll list from most to least expensive.

• painted canvas – you will get a painted canvas in a specific color scheme. The lesson will tell you exactly the threads/colors to buy
• line-drawn canvas – you will get line-drawn canvas so you can pick your own threads. Sometimes you will need to color parts of the canvas yourself.
• counted canvas – you will get a blank piece of canvas and a map that will tell you how big each patch in the design needs to be. You may draw it on the canvas or just count. Sometimes you will need to color parts of the canvas yourself.

I’m hoping to have more details, including prices, and a sign-up sheet by mid-October.

Lots of people also wanted to explore threads so there will be offerings along those lines as well. Several threads will be used in the monthly projects, there will be some cyberclasses and I’m also planning on putting together some thread exploration packs with threads, canvas, and a small project.

UPDATE ON PRICES: I have figured out some preliminary prices

• painted canvas: $22 per month
• line-drawn canvas: $15 per month
• charted canvas: $12.50 per month

Please remember these prices are approximate and should only be used for comparisons.
