It’s almost here! Next week, we will begin sign ups for the 2017 Free Block of the Month! Woo hoo!!
The 2017 Block of the Month will be called…. I Love Home.
Would you like to see the quilt? Yes?? Well, OK then! Here it is:
The size of this quilt is about 54 x 68″. Once again, the patterns will have options for piecing only, applique, or embroidery. We will start the Sew Along in August. And yes, we will have fabric kits available for this pattern! We will be announcing those soon!
I asked on Facebook for suggestions for themes. I got a lot of good ideas… several people mentioned houses. I LOVE houses- to me they signify family, coziness, safety and happiness. Of course, the “home” part of a house comes from the people that we share them with- so every house in the quilt has a heart or two, to represent the people and the love inside.
We will be having FABULOUS prizes this year! Here are our sponsors- please visit their websites and see all the quilt-y and sewing goodness that they have to offer!

Oh my word that is absolutely darling – I’m in! I can’t resist a “home” quilt!
I am soiled that you are planning another BOM. I have done each of your past BOM’s, but never did the embroidery.. Since the Art of Home club, I am addicted to adding embroidery to my quilts…. Marion
I’m glad you are enjoying the Club, Marion!!
Re prior comment, I am so pleased, not soiled…..Marion
He he he!! I thought that’s what you meant! ;)
Well now, I gotta say……OMGeeeee I love it…can’t wait to sign up. I’m so in love with house blocks right now ! Oh and lol Marion Knights comment snicker….
Yay! I have been wanting to make a house block quilt and I love your design.

Excited! I have made many quilts but I have never done a BOM. I love appliqué, houses and embroidery. This is perfect. Thank you!
Wow..I just love houses…special ones like you design…just hope I can keep up with you…..working on the birdhouse embroidered project right now…thanks sew much for all you do…🎉
Looking forward to doing this one :)
I love the fabrics and the houses. I can hardly wait to get started.
SEW CUTE!!! CAN’T WAIT :)
I have never done the BOM. I can’t wait to join. I have just joined the club. Can’t wait to get started.
I LOVE IT!!!!! Can’t wait to start these blocks
How many blocks or months will there be in this quilt? It’s so pretty and I also love house quilts.
Hi I haven’t embroidery in a very long time, however I am up to the challenge! Thanks
This will be my third BOM with you and this one is adorable. Can’t wait to get started, love it!
Could this one be a wall hanging?
Hi Daryl Jean! It’s more of a lap size, probably too big for a wall hanging (54 1/2 x 68″). However, the blocks are large (18″), so you could just make a block or 2 into a wall hanging.
Hope this helps!
Looks like another winner – anxious to see what colors everyone chooses.
I love this quilt! I’m just starting to make house quilts and this one is special!
I just love all your post! Thanks for putting such great patterns and your wonderful life!! My mom went to Iceland she loved it! Congrats on your family anniversaries!
I made this very first quilting I did. Love it in the picture and love it made. I was so glad when you won on Craftsy for it. If there were a place to post a picture of it I would it was my first quilted item but proud of it. I did mine in more or less same coloring but I love Sunflowers and did the center in Sunflowers and used matching fabrics to go with that fabric.. Thanks so much for sharing your patterns I LOVE THEM!!!! I have been getting your newsletter since..
Hi Christine! Thanks so much for your nice comment- I’m so glad that you are enjoying my patterns :)
