Make It Sew: Finishing Up the 2024 Row Quilt and Crafty Bingo

MAKE IT SEW is a group of quilters and sewists who enjoy making small projects and quilts.

December (last!) Block of the Month: 3" Little Tree (read below)

Each month in 2024, we learned how to make a different "bitty block" that can be used in large or small projects. If you make a set of "bitty blocks" each month, you can slowly make the row quilt as shown below or use your blocks on various smaller projects. 

These blocks are perfect for the beginning quilter, as you will learn 'quilting basics' throughout the year. Quilting Daily shared these free online patterns a few years ago, and they are still available. The URL for the Little Tree (foundation pieced) block pattern is below:

In this month's class, we will be making the 3" Little Tree block, the final block. Bring your sewing machine and basic sewing supplies. At the time you register, please let me know if you need to use one of the Library's sewing machines. Rotary cutting equipment and ironing board stations will be available to use at each class.

A kit to make one block will be provided at class. Feel free to bring your own fabric to make more blocks as time permits. 

Crafty Bingo: After we make our last block for the year, we'll play a little Crafty Bingo! We'll play 10 games of bingo, with a prize for the first winner of each round. The last round will be a blackout round, where you will need to cover all the numbers! If you have extra crafty stuff you don't need anymore, wrap it up, bring it, and donate it for prizes!

I will also pass out instructions to finish your quilt similar to the quilt below.

Here is the inspiration for our blocks for this year...hope your project turns out great!
