BOM

It has been  several years since I have joined the now $10 BOM at a one of our local quilt shops.. Used to be $5.  I decided to join one this year. We will be doing the blocks in Eleanor Burn's Quilts from El's Kitchen. There are eighteen blocks instead of the standard twelve.
 The first block is an apron. The shop had two fabric choices. I picked the fabric designed by Lily Ashbury called High Street. A friend gifted me with the orange rick rack which was the perfect size for the apron. I then added a bit of the tiny vintage rick rack to the pocket. I found it in an antique store several years ago.
The book has instructions for 12" and 6" blocks. I am doing mine in the 6" size even though we are getting enough fabric for the 12". I saw this book recently at my local Joann's just in case you might want to make the quilt.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

    I purchased the book and fabric last Spring, but haven't started the quilt yet. I did however, make two of the small quilts shown in the book with the aprons on a clothesline. LOVE the aprons!

    LOVELY WORK!!! I wonder if the quilt shop would mail the BOM to those of us too far away to shop in person? Do they have a website? Could you share, please???

    Thank you

    Your apron block is adorable. Neat that you could use a bit of vintage rick rack on it. Eleanor would be proud of you!

    Love the apron block. I haven't done the $5 block for years either. I guess it's not $5 anymore. High Street was a great choice. So nice and cheerful!
