Suncoast Quilting Circle |
Where: In Person and Zoom
When: No matter what Block of the Month project you are working along with, on the 4th Wednesday of the month, you'll have a chance to discuss your progress and ask for help with any issues you may be having completing your blocks. Completed blocks can then be shown during the following Sew Inspired Meeting, held on the first Wednesday of the month at 10:00 AM. See events calendar for details.
What: A block of the month club where you work independently on that month's block in advance of the meeting and then share your progress during the meeting--everyone is welcome to see the progress and offer advice and encouragement (you don't have to be working on a BOM)!
Group Contact Person: Mary Davis
In a change to the Block of the Month process for 2025, as well as having the opportunity to follow along with A Quilting Life's program, which Mary will circulate each month, there will be details of a selection of other BoM programs available to choose from (which you will need to sign up for yourselves). You may also find your own from the many sources available, either for payment or free, on the internet.
SQC Members: To be added to the BOM group, email SuncoastQuiltingCircle@yahoo.com and put BOM in the subject line. To be added to Mary's email list for updates and notices, email her directly.
For 2025, as mentioned above, we're again following along with "A Quilting Life" which releases the BOM pattern and supporting youtube video on the first Monday of the month. Refer to their website for information. We'll meet to cheer each other on, share successes and challenges, showing our blocks at the Show and Tell portion of the Sew Inspired Meeting on the first Wednesday of the month, and stay after to share successes and challenges among the others in the 2024 BOM group. Remember to download all the patterns by 12/31/2025. After that, they are available for purchase from A Quilting Life.

WHERE: Zoom When: Fourth Wednesday of the month at 10:00 AM. See events calendar. What: A block of the month club where you work independently on the block in advance of the meeting and then share your progress during the meeting--everyone is welcome to see the progress and offer advice and encouragement (you don't have to be working on a BOM)! The quilt for 2022 is Star Sampler, by PieceandQuilt.com here. Group Contact Person: Mary Lemon, Joanne Gilch SQC Members: To be added to the BOM group, email SuncoastQuiltingCircle@yahoo.com and put BOM in the subject line. Blocks will be done by rows, top to bottom, starting with the Union Star in the upper left corner for April 2022 as block 1. Block 1 Notes: In testing and checking the Union Star, the author/quilter did not include in the white fabric cutting instructions…. WHITE FABRIC CUT: 8 2 1/2” squares (they are the corners of the pink 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” that make the pink flying geese) Mark them diagonally on the wrong side of white fabric, fold or press a diagonal line, or use a tool like "Diagonal Seam Tape" to let you sew without marking each piece of fabric. Block 4 & 10 Notes: As an alternate to these blocks, you may choose use Moda Block Heads 3, block 2, by Sherri McConnell "Sunshine Star". Email one of the group leaders if you need the pattern. The pattern for Block 10 "Christmas Star" from Piece and Quilt is missing. The alternate block is substiuted below. PDF for Block 1 Union Star. PDF for Block 2 Flower Star.
