Border Creek Station has a new Mystery Club. It came out late 2013. I will be leading the classes for the club at Pine Tree Quilt Shop in Salem, NH. You can find more information on their Block of the Month page.
The fabrics are from the Moda Collection by 3 Sisters called Vin du Jour. It has a subtle wine based theme. The collection is beautiful. I loved the swirled flowers.
We will be using yardage from the swatches shown below, plus two charm packs. The charm packs give you the ability to use all the fabrics in the collection without purchasing the entire collection. The collection includes a few toile fabrics, if you are a toile lover.
We will be making a queen size quilt with the finished size of 100″ square. The pattern is broken down into 8 steps. I found the pattern to be well written. It also has great diagrams if you are more of a visual person, like I am.
BCS rates this pattern for experience beginners and up. I found this to be true. The pattern is easy enough for someone who is new to quilting and wants to start stretching their quilting skills. I also found it to be interesting enough to excite the more experienced quilter.
There are sections in the pattern where you are given a choice as to which charm square you are going to use in some of the blocks. I found this to be toughest part. They are all so beautiful it was hard to decide what I wanted to use where.
I’m excited to start the class. I enjoyed making the quilt as I’m sure you will to.
See you in class.
