Country Fall Block Tutorial

I am so excited to be the featured designer for the International Association of Quilters!  I’m sharing a fun project for the month on their site, available exclusively to IAQ members at this time, and I’m contributing a quilt block to the Mystery Night Sky Quilt that the IAQ members are sewing throughout the year.  Scroll down to find more information about joining IAQ.

I designed this block for the Night Sky Mystery quilt.  You can use any colors, I’m in a fall kind of mood lately!

I love the cat print – the fabrics are from Riley Blake Designs.

Every month there is a new designer featuring a mystery quilt block.  We won’t know what the quilt looks like until the end of the year!

You can download the instructions for my block HERE,

I put together a project using just the quilt block and some borders. You  can find the instructions to make the mini quilt over at IAQ.

The quilt measures 23″ square and it uses my mystery night sky block as the center.

IAQ membership format:  The group has an online community as well as a private facebook

working on or have finished, meet and get to know the members from around the
world, download patterns, and participate in the group. Everything is in one
spot- simple and easy to use on your computer or on your phone.

 

The IAQ starts the day you join.   The 2019
projects will be starting on January 1st and will be shared during the first
full week of the month.  During each month there will be two block of the
months, guest designer pattern, with the occasional extra project and rotating
swaps and challenges.  Each Sunday you will get an email from the quilt
group about what’s happened during the week- but the group online is always
open! You can share any time during the day. When you join you will also
have full access to all previous patterns- both in the group and by the guest
designers.  There are more patterns than you have time! You will be kept
sewing all year long.

That’s a lot for $120 a year, and it’s fun!

The International Association of Quilters allows quilters to explore new designers from around the world, enjoy current and fresh patterns, and share & sew with others.  no more “sewing alone and the family not getting it” — it’s time for “having fun and sharing with someone who understands”

So be sure to check out IAQ if you haven’t already!!!  So much Quilty fun all in one place!!

    Hello, it looks like you might be in orange county. I saw one picture of the bay in Newport Beach. I wondered if you sew appliqués on, perhaps an unusual request. But I’m looking for somebody to sew an appliqué on for me ASAP and just didn’t know if that was something you might do My name is Sylvia Burnett phone number 949-922-1015 thank you
