FREE Embroidery Block of the month, Block 5 is the May Pole!

I am the host of Aurifil's Designer of the Month program for the last 6 years. And during that time we have had so many cute projects from our fantastic designers!  I suggested to the Aurifil we run the 2012 Embroidery Block of the Month again as it's darling and many of you might have missed it! (I know.. hard to believe!)

Our May block is designed by the talented Thimbleanna, the May Pole!

We are making the blocks again with AuriFloss and a black and white setting using AuriFloss, wooden spools, yummy colors.. yes please!

Some designers used the 12wt, which is equally yummy. You can get my Hometown thread Kit which has a spool of each weight for you to try! 

This is the original quilt done in 2012, you are going to LOVE these blocks!

PLUS... drum roll.. make the block by the June 29, 2017, share it at the Aurifil page and YOU might win a set of AuriFloss threads!

I've been tracing with this super nice lightbox. it is VERY reasonable and makes tracing so much easier to do than taping to a window! Yes.. that is what I used to do ..eek!

If you didn't know yet, my FREE Wed quilt Block here at I Love To Make Quilts is an ongoing project. I am grouping each set under a theme so that we do 'x' number of blocks that go into one quilt. The first that you are following is 182 days to make a quilt, the Solstice is 25 blocks.

I have the next theme (woohoo!!) and that will start June 28th. So we have 2 weeks to sew this up if you are working on setting after all the blocks are done.    ....

Tick tock... the countdown to 182 days of sewing 25 blocks is nearing and and it's SO exciting to see ALL your blocks coming together! I will be creating a gallery at our home page so you can post your full quilt tops & finished quilts.. cant' wait to have that up! 

Eureka! is 23/25 and I have a WONDERFUL reason for that name in the pattern! 

.......keep reading to see my finds this weeks deals...

This is a Fantastic Scrap busting project, and it's given me a second way to cut up scraps to make a quilt as I sew other things! I am itching to dig into it now!  OR... maybe I'll just grab the newest Moda Precut size, a Treat, which saves me time!

I spotted a few of these Butterfly quilt kits at a great sale price.. get one while that lasts!

  

If you want to make less butterflies, try Frances Firefly!
