January 2010

In 2010, TQS will treat you to not one, but two Sue Garman Block-of-the-Month quilts! Both quilts--one applique and one pieced--are bright and cheery, sure to be showstoppers on a bed or wall. Once again, Sue will offer lots of instruction and tips along with the patterns. Be ready: This is "the year of quilting" as Sue helps you enliven your quilts with many quilting options.

Don't miss out on the fun and learning available to you through the TQS BOM quilting community. Click here for the fabric requirements so you can be ready when we launch both patterns on January 1, 2010. (Word to the wise: We sold out our 2009 BOM quilts quickly, so be sure to get your 2010 kit(s) early by visiting the TQS Shoppe.) We are very excited to offer you this opportunity and look forward to you seeing your work as the year progresses.

Susie, the design is similiar (as are all of the blocks) but they are not the same, and they are not the same size. The Cornerstone flowers measure 2-7/8" across, while the similiar portion of the February flowers measure 3" across. If you want to work ahead, you can use any pattern you want, just be sure that each flower will fit inside a 4" (finished size) background if you plan to assemble the quilt by Sue's directions so that her swag border will fit.

Margo, what stitch did you use? Sounds like zig zag, I am thinking of a small blanket stitch.....

Yes! I used a small zig-zag, but a blanket stitch will work great!
