This Is How It Works

Each month full instructions for a new block will be given in the

Borderlines Newsletter and on the RVQG Website at rvqg.com. 

You are free to download and print the instructions for the Block

of the Month. If you choose to make the block, bring it to the next

Guild meeting, show us your beauty and enter your name into the

Fat Quarter draw. If you are unable to attend the meeting or it’s a

Zoom Guild meeting just take a photo of your block and send it

to me at BCQuilts@gmail.com to be included in the BOM monthly

Fat Quarter draw.

If you choose to make just one or two of the Blocks that’s O.K.

There is no obligation to make the entire project.   However, if

you decide to do so, by the end of the current 2022-2023 Guild

year, you will have made a fabulous Quilter-on-the-Go Project

Bag, perfect for toting all those must have for any quilter-on-the-go.

See you at the meeting!

Block of the Month 2022 - 2023

Quilter-on-the-Go Project Bag

 

The new BOM for 2022 – 2023 is a Quilter-on-the-Go Project Tote,

roomie enough to hold a 18” X 24” cutting mat and a 6” X 24” ruler,

plus so much more. Only four blocks and some construction, and

you will have the perfect carryall to take to workshops, retreats,

cottage, or girls’ weekend.

The Rules of the Game are: A new block pattern is presented each month. Full instructions are

given in the Borderlines newsletter, as well as posted online at

www.RVQG.com under the BOM heading.

Make the block. Either bring your completed block to the next meeting or take a

photo of it and send to me at BCQuilts@gmail.com and your name

will be entered in a draw for a fat quarter prize.

Join us for this ultimate project bag featuring stitching themed blocks

– sewing machine, spool and scissors, iron and pin cushion on the

outside and multiple pockets on the inside or all those quilting essentials. 

And what essentials does a Quilter-on-the-Go need? 

An 18” X 24” cutting mat?  There’s a pocket for that!  6” X 24” rotary

ruler? There’s a pocket for that! Space for a project book? 

There’s a pocket for that!  Cutter?  Note pad?  Pen, pencil?

Pockets for all that!  Plus – loads of room for fabrics.

What else could we need?  A staycation?  Road trip? Retreat?

Let’s get going!  We have places to go and quilts to make.

It was so great seeing all of the completed Pincushion Blocks at our March in-person meeting. Viewing the blocks on Zoom is one thing, but being able to get in there and see all those little details, the buttons, the embroidery, the fancy stitches and dimensional touches that are difficult to spot in a photo was such a treat.

Congratulations go out to Jo Ann S. for winning the fat quarter draw for her lovely Pincushion Block.

The April in-person meeting will be such a delight to see all of the completed Project Tote exteriors. Please bring them to our April meeting. Let’s have a Project Tote parade! I know it’s a lot more work than stitching up just one block so the prize to one lucky draw winner at the April and the May meetings will be a 3 Fat Quarter bundle. 

Instructions for Part #1 and Part #2 of the exterior construction are given below. When you are done with Part #2 be sure to bring it to our AGM so we can OOOO and AHHH at your accomplishment.

June 2023 marks the end of my tenure as BOM Co-ordinator. It’s been a fun-filled couple of years seeing how others have taken my patterns and used their own fabrics to make each block in their own unique way. Now someone else can have the opportunity to challenge the Members’ stashes each month. I urge you to take on the position. If you have any questions about the position, please contact me.
