Classes designed, lead, and taught by
Sandi Blackwell of "Stitched Buy".
We are a group of quilters who meet the fourth Monday of every month for a block of the month class. We have been meeting since 2003 and meet at the Wheeling Artisan Center (top floor of Nail City) in Wheeling, WV.
We have completed several quilts, including "Twinkling Stars", "Baskets", "50 States", "Three-Dimensional Blocks", "Mystery Quilt", and just completed "Jessica's Quilt".
In 2012 we are going to work on my design for a "Strip Quilt" in two design options and two sizes, Christmas and Autumn. This quilt is made in "strips" of repeated blocks, then the strips are sewn together with different sashing designs. The blocks are 10" and 6" in size. The quilt is completed with blocks that create a pieced pine tree border.
Our plans for 2011 were continuing
the "Dear Jane" series, followed by my quilt design "Jessica's Quilt". This quilt was designed with my daughter in mind. It will be twelve different blocks in a diagonal setting using my "Square-agonals" technique. That class was followed by Eleanor Burns "American Barn" quilt series.
Our quilt for 2010 was a "Mystery Quilt" I designed which incorporates the sashing and borders into the completed blocks.
In 2009 we started the "Dear Jane" series and will finish it in December 2012.

Next BOM Squad meets on January 23, 2012 and February 6, 2012. We start our block of the month series at 9:30am with the Dear Jane blocks, then the new Strip Quilt, both
Christmas and Autumn.
We open our class to visitors and new members. Most of us have
been together for many years, yet we welcome new faces. Feel free
to sit in on any class to see
what we are all about.
Guests always welcome!
The fee schedule for 2011 stays the same. $7.00 for attending one class, $10 if you attend two classes, and $15 for all three classes, which I teach back to back. Class begins at 9:30 a.m., "Dear Jane" is first, followed by " Strip Quilt Christmas" then the "Strip Quilt Autumn". All three classes, plus a show and tell, runs about two hours.
