12 Weeks of Christmas Quilt - Week 5.

 

The Week 5 quilt block kit for our Christmas Quilt is now available in our Quilt Shop. Remember if you bring in a photo or your completed block from last week you will be able to pick up this week's block at a discounted price.

*******************************************************************************

More information about the Christmas Quilt can be found below:

If you've taken part in our Monthly Quilt Block projects in years past the process will be the same, however we will be completing one block each week throughout the fall months in order to have the quilt complete in time for Christmas. (The last block will actually be the week before Thanksgiving so you will still have time to assemble/finish/etc.)

The quilt blocks are $6.97 per week, however if you bring in (or show a photo) of your completed block from the week before you can get the next weeks kit for only $3.97!

The quilt is already on display in our Quilt Shop (on the front endcap between aisles 29&30) and you can also view it below.

Whether taking time this fall to make this quilt for yourself or making it with the anticipation of giving it to someone at Christmas - I know you will love the process and more importantly the finished quilt!

I hope you will join us for these 12 weeks of quilting fun!
