2010 Rossville Quilts Block of the Month (BOM) Programs

Welcome to our 2010 BOM! Land of Lincoln Sampler, Back to Nature Batik, and Heart and Home Applique began Saturday, April 3, at 9:00 AM. Meetings will be on the first Saturday each month at 9:00 AM unless otherwise noted. You can begin at any time throughout the year as long as the project is not marked full. See the list below with descriptions of our different BOM programs beginning this year. Here are some general guidelines.

1. This year, all participants in all programs must
a. Pay in advance for the total program OR
b. Leave a credit card on file. This card will be charged the monthly fee each month, on or shortly after the first of the month. This will help to alleviate long lines of waiting to pay your fee each month! Please be sure the card you give us has an expiration date beyond the end of the program. Your information will be stored on our secure server.

2. When you sign up for any BOM program, the entire year’s worth of patterns, fabric and/or supply purchases by our shop is allocated to you. That means we have already incurred the expense. There are no cancellations! Your card on file will be charged each month. The last month, any unclaimed blocks will be mailed to you after 30 days, with the mailing charges placed on your credit card.

3. Block packets may be mailed to you if you reside out of town any portion of the year, or if you simply can’t make it in and want your packet. An additional fee ranging from $2.00 minimum to $4.95 for a flat rate envelope will be added to your monthly fee. Cost depends on weight and distance of items being mailed. For any larger quantities of fabric that need to be mailed, the least expensive method of priority shipping will be used and that charge will be added to your monthly fee.

4. CWBOM, BBOM, and ABOM will all meet on the same day. That will make it easier if you wish to do 2 or more programs. EBOM will have its own separate meeting time, as instruction is included.

5. You do not have to attend on the BOM pick up meeting. However, we will have door prizes, specials, and instruction on any unique features or additional notions that might come in handy for that month’s block on pick up day. NO PACKETS MAY BE PICKED UP BEFORE THE MONTHLY MEETING IS HELD!

6. Block Insurance will be offered for CWBOM and BBOM programs. Block Insurance is a bundle of fabrics used in your program(s). You can purchase Block Insurance to have on hand should you make an error in cutting so you can continue sewing without making another trip to the shop. If you don’t need your insurance, you can always do a throw pillow after your BOM is done! Extra fabric availability is likely, but not guaranteed!

7. All of our BOM classes feature quilt shop quality fabric from recognized fabric manufacturers such as Moda, Windham, Marcus, Maywood and more. We reserve the right to make substitutions of similar fabric where necessary.

BLOCK OF THE MONTH PROGRAMS 2010

WHAT: Civil War Block of the Month IS FULL(CWBOM)
Since 2010 is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, we thought this would be the perfect year to focus on that portion of our country’s history. We will be using a pattern designed by Carol Hopkins of West Lafayette. Carol is the designer of many reproduction focused patterns, with her own pattern company. Join us for this block of the month to learn more about our country’s history and quilting, of course. See Carol’s sample quilt at the shop through February. We are using her pattern, with a mix of reproduction fabrics to get a very scrappy Civil War authentic look. Cost is $7.00.month.

WHAT: Applique Block of the Month IS FULL(ABOM)
Heart and Home - This BOM will be the long awaited piecing and appliqué block of the month. It is not for beginners (unless very confident!) and will entail meticulous piecing as well as the appliqué method of your choice. You will make a fantastic quilt top finishing at 72” X 63”. Cost will include all fabric for the top, piecing instructions, appliqué patterns, buttons, and accessory “goodies”. This 8 month program is $19.00 per month.

WHAT: Embroidery Block of the Month (EBOM)
Our second year of the Hoopsisters BOM program will be even better than the first. This BOM is for any machine embroiderer, and is not specific to Bernina machines. Learn new texturing tips and tricks while machine embroidering your quilting in a hoop. Makes a unique wallhanging and can vary in look drastically depending upon your fabric and thread choices. Cost is $12.00/month for your CD and instruction. Save $2.00/month if you bring your completed embroidery from the previous month and attend meeting.

WHAT: Tonga Nature Batik Block of the Month (BBOM)
We just couldn’t resist this gorgeous Block of the Month! We loved the great mix of blocks, connecting features, and colors. Nothing boring about making this quilt! Plus, high quality batiks can be expensive, so this is a great way to get a large quilt top done a little bit at a time. Brought to you by Timeless Treasures Tonga batiks and Wing and a Prayer Designs, this quilt is sure to be one of your favorites ever. Finished size is 96” X 106”. Cost is $18.00/month for 12 months.
