Pat Sloan's I Love To Make Quilts

Join the Aurifil FREE Embroidery Block of the month, it's so darling!

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 January block is designed by my friend Roseann Kermes that is on my talk show often, you know her right? She is delightful and a very talented designer. This is her January bird block.

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

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

I may make some of the shapes with applique, like the bird and branch.. do you think that would be cute?

If you are looking for a beautiful embroidery book, this is my new favorite! 

BUY THE BOOK

PLUS... drum roll.. make the block by the last Thurs in Feb (Feb 23, 2017), share it at the Aurifil page and YOU might win a set of AuriFloss threads!

The Crosswalk Block 6/25 of the Solstice

How is your cutting mat, rotary cutting blades? Are you still using the same rotarty cutter you bought 15 yrs ago? time to update and upgrade quilters! check them out!

For some weeks of this challenge I'm spending time looking through old notebooks and sketches. After all these years I see a shape or the start of a project that makes me think about exploring it again. 

With this quilt I feel like I am taking a crosswalk at times.  Bridging one idea to another idea. Like walking across the street to greet someone... some blocks make me think more than others. 

.......keep reading, I tried it in repeat for you!
