Meet our Monthly Sponsor
In October, our sponsor Missouri Star Quilt Company offered an incredible prize! One lucky winner, Kim R, received a Missouri Star Rotary Cutter along with a pack of five replacement rotary blades. Designed with a ball-bearing mechanism, this cutter made slicing through fabric smooth and effortless. It even slices through thick layers—helping to reduce shoulder strain. The extra blades ensured that the winner was always ready to tackle their next project with ease.
Every Quilt Block Club member had a chance to win by actively participating in our community. Members joined discussions, shared their projects, and cheered on fellow quilters for additional entries into the giveaway. It was a great month of engagement, prizes, and community spirit. This is just a few perfect reasons to join the Quilt Block Club and be part of the fun! If you’re not a member yet, consider getting on the waitlist.
