Split 9-Patch - January 2009 BOM - Sunrise Quilters

This month's block is the Split 9-Patch - 12 1/2" raw, {pink & red} and {white/off white}.



Project for the February meeting will be to make the "Fireside Quilt" pattern. An outline for the Fireside Quilt can be found in the Blog Archives (scroll down) under 2008 posts, May 4, 2008.

Happy Quilting,
Tricia

Happy New Year!

Wishing the Quilting gods will grant us all yards and yards of colorful fabrics, threads and a new sewing machine of our dreams,
..... and the new year should also bestow upon us a 'gofer' to make lunch, a cup of tea and run to the store for that missing notion;
....and someone to massage our aching neck and shoulders so we can just continue sewing;
....and a sewing-room maid to clean-up after each project and neatly organize our stash and threads and notions and rotary rulers and buttons and books and patterns and pins and UFOs;
...and we should each have a personal sewing machine maintenance person (who makes house calls) to clean and oil and tune-it-up (the sewing machine, that is...);
.... and, of course, unlimited classes and tutorials.... and motivation.... and new creative ideas and inspiration.

Slap... slap.... now, back to reality. Wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous year are good, too.

Happy quilting, sewing and machine embroidery!

Hugs,
Tricia
