Modern Block of the Month

Starting in February 2013, we will be running a Modern Blocks sew-a-long/Bee based on the book Modern Blocks (Stash Books 2011).

You can:

  • Make the block and keep it to make a sampler at the end of the year
  • Make the block and donate it towards a charity quilt.

The aim will be to start easy and ‘skill build’ as the year goes along. Want to do appliqué? Curves? Y-seams? Paper piecing? But haven’t been brave enough to try the alone? Join us and sew-along.

Each month will have a leader who will explain at the monthly meeting tips for making the block. The block will also be posted on a members-only section of the website.  You are welcome to follow along or, if you’d like to have a go at teaching, you’re welcome to volunteer to lead a month!

$21.62 with free delivery at the moment!

We encourage members to buy the book from The Book Depository for full instructions.

Please let us know if you’d like to join in, either as a participant or a leader (after June). The sewalong will be for members only, so make sure you join up!
