Quilt Block Club – June 2023 Edition
Crafting beautiful quilts is more than just a pastime; it’s a creative expression, a meditative endeavor, and for many, a passionate love affair with fabrics, patterns, and stitches. The Quilt Block Club is dedicated to providing members with the resources, instruction, and community they need to make the most of this rewarding craft.
Pattern of the Month: Star Spangled Shield
This month, we turn the spotlight on the ‘Star Spangled Shield Quilt Pattern + Video Course.’ Meticulous, precise, and augmented with visual aids, this video course ensures that every seam, stitch, and pattern alignment is flawless. Existing members can conveniently access the course here!
