Each month in 2024, we will be learning 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.

In this month's class, we will be making the Log Cabin block. If you are new to rotary cutting, help will be available! 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!

This is our ongoing project for the year:
