Quilting Retreat Weekends and Quilt ClassesBUCK-A-BLOCK You will not want to miss the wonderful “grab-and-go” quilt that will start in October. This quilt is stunning so you may want to do 2 (or 3) and choose different finishing options! This is not the same as a Saturday Sampler program. The blocks are all $1.00 each as long as you bring in the finished block from the month before. You don’t have to come on a Saturday; you can come any time during the month to pick up your next package. This program will run for 12 months with your choice of finishing kits available at the beginning so you know what your quilt will look like before you are finished. All of the fabrics coordinate so you will not be disappointed. There will be a limited number of spaces and finishing kits available. These will be ready to go for early October and there will be a discount offered on the finishing kits for a limited time.
