    YES!! MSQC is doing a Block of the Month!!

    Hey everyone!!

    With the snow and cold weather, we weren't able to kick off our Block of the Month last week, soooo we will be starting next Wednesday, February 12th!! Each month for seven months, we'll assemble one block in the Kimberbell "Home is Where the Haunt Is" Halloween wall hanging. (CLICK HERE to purchase the pattern.) During our eighth and last class, we'll be assembling the blocks and creating our doo-dads or embellishments that will be added after the wall hanging is quilted.

    There are two ways to be part of our Block of the Month:

    1) Join Jenny Doan LIVE AND IN PERSON at our Missouri Star Quilt Company Retreat Center at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of the month (except this month!) and sew along as she takes us through constructing our blocks, step-by-step. REGISTRATION IS ONLY $10 EACH SESSION!! CLICK HERE to register. Class size is limited so register early!

    or

    2) Follow along for FREE when we release the video of the class. I'll be posting the link under the Retreat Center tab on this forum and I'm sure we'll be getting the word out via email, the newsletter, the blog or whatever electronic means necessary. No need to register!

    Finally, a heads-up that we will NOT have kits for the Block of the Month project. You can use scraps from your stash (or trade with a friend) or have a howling good time choosing something new! We can't wait to see the creative brilliance of all our fabulous quilting friends out there!!

    Oh yes --- and I will be starting a new MSQC Block of the Month Group on the Forum, too, so please stop by and let us know how you are doing with the BOM project as we go along.

    Questions? Post them below or contact me directly at [email protected]

    Have a great weekend!

        Hi Jean, I totally misunderstood your message. I thought when you said you were starting a "new" BOM group that it would be different from the Halloween one.

        I do not have an interest in the Halloween BOM, although it is really cute. But, making holiday items is not my thing.

        But no worried, I am sure there will be others in the future that I will plug into.

        Thanks again Jean

            Where is the retreat center tab? I know the instructions aren't going to be there yet, but I was looking for the tab and don't know where it is.

              I signed up for the class and I ordered my pattern! Now, I need a shopping trip to the shop to get my fabrics! Woot! Bring on Spring! I'm ready to get out of this house and SEW!

                    No problem!! The Halloween wall hanging will be our first "go" at Block of the Month. We'll see what's in store for 2015! I'll be working on that in just a few months. Time flies, doesn't it?

                    Have a great weekend!

                        Hi Cil!

                        If you are looking for the Retreats Center tab on the Forum, just keep scrolling down on the home page of the forum until you see the Missouri Star Quilt Company section. You'll see a thread or section (the fourth one on the list, I believe) called "Retreats and Events". I've also opened a Group called MSQC Block of the Month. When the videos are posted, I'll be sharing the link in both of these places.

                        If you are looking for a link to all the events we've got coming up, go to: Missouri Star Quilt Company on Eventbrite
                        Have a great weekend!

                          Jean, if you see this before it's too late tonight or early in the morning, I'll be leaving here by 7_30 or 8am, Can you zip me a PM and tell me what fabrics I need for the first class, my pattern didn't arrive in the mail yet. I was hoping I had some stuff on hand. Thanks!
