Daily Update - January 8, 2022
What am I Doing?
I am working on a series of Quilt Block Videos done in the Quilt as You Piece method. When I am done, there should be 30 quilt blocks that I will then put together with sashing in between the blocks. I do plan to make a video of putting the quilt together. This is the primary way I make quilts.
The quilt in the photo is the front of the quilt block, the back is the same pattern, just different fabrics. The patterns and materials list are on the site as well, the same day I post the video I make for each block. The very first block, Five Strip Rail Fence is free for everyone, no points needed and no membership needed. Most of the rest of the blocks for this quilt will be for Members. You can get them with points or for $1.99 each or as a Gold member, you will not need to redeem points or pay anything for the PDF files.
Featured Pattern
This pattern is Free on January 8th only.
This afghan is made for my son Joshua when he was 13 years old. I started the squares about 5 years before that and put it away until early in 1998. I decided to make an afghan out of the squares in June of that year and I just started to put them together on the first of December. It was finally finished on December 5, 1998.

This bead sheet is Not Free.
Beads from this bead sheet would look great combined with clear faceted crystal beads with an AB finish or white glass pearl beads in any piece of jewelry!
