Congratulations to Saska Koch from Oklahoma for winning last week’s themed quilt contest, On the Farm, with the photo of her gorgeous string quilts hanging on the line at her farm. Saska wins a layer cake of her choice from the Fat Quarter Shop.

This week’s theme is Mother’s and is sponsored by the Around the Block Quilters Shop. I’m really looking forward to seeing the quilts you’ve made for your mothers, with your mothers and in honour of your mothers. To enter, read the rules and guidelines, then submit your quilt photo. Voting will start on Friday and last until Sunday night.

What’s new at Around the Block Quilters Shop

At Around the Block Quilters Shop we are all excited about our new Block of the Month Program. The Quilt is “Star Light, Star Bright” by bits n pieces. The Dark Colorway features Kansas Troubles fabrics and the Bright colorway features “Objects of Desire” fabric by Sandy Gervais. This is a great way to tackle a big project. The cost and the time is spread out over 12 months. A little each month brings pleasure – not pressure. Check out “Star Light, Star Bright”.

We are on the very edge of presenting another fabulous Block of the Month Club featuring Frolic. (Can you tell we are Sandy Gervais fans at Around the Block?) Keep checking back to see if this program is up online yet – because it is worth waiting for.

The winner of this week’s contest will receive a $30 gift certificate they can use to purchase what they wish from our web site.
