Block of the Month 2026
Hello and Welcome!! Happy New Year 2026!!
I haven't posted anything on my blog for around a year -
it was a good sabbatical. Now it's back to business..
This year we have the Polar Animals Block of the Month 2026 and I really hope you will join us making one block per month.
The blocks are $1 and the big reason is that if people see its free, they grab it up, post it on free websites and never take it down again when the block needs to go to the normal price in the shop. So, please forgive me but it has to be $1 per month it's released and after that it goes to $5.
I also have a Subscription option for the blocks at $15 for the year. There is also a large size center block of Penguins that is already included. You will get 12x (12") blocks and 1x (24") block that have the Polar Animals theme. You will receive the center block when you buy the subscription.
You can get the subscription in the shop HERE...
These cute fellers are called Chinstrap Penguins and can be found in the cold Antarctic (south pole). With those cold winds you need something with a chinstrap to keep your hat on...
You can get the Penguin block (24") right HERE
********************
January's Block of the Month is a Arctic Fox
These cuties are so amazing - they change to a white fur coat
for winter and is said to not only be stylish but super soft and warm.
You can get your Fox block (12") from the shop for $1 - HERE...
or you will be emailed your block IF you have bought the subscription for the year.

Block 10 = Two rows done!
Hello and welcome to another installment of our
Modern City Sew a Long 2024
Today we start with Block #10 that I completed
Another really easy to put together block. No real headaches.
I've joined the blocks for the second row as well
This is the first and second row with blocks 1 to 10 finished.
Im really happy with how this is turning out.
Our sew a long is going to take 25 weeks which is really slow and making 1 easy block a week is
also going really slow. For some that's wonderful news but for others
you may want to sew on ahead which is fine with me.
PLEASE Take photos of your progress and share it with us on the FBook group page.
Join us in making this spectacular quilt or wall hanging or whatever you decide to do with it. We'll be sharing and having fun along the way.
You can join us by paying for the whole pattern up front ($25) No need for emails each week.
You will find the Modern City PDF in my Online Shop.

Block of the Month - March
Hello and welcome!
It's March and we have another block in our BoM - Cute Cats
March block has a sleepy cat behind the pot plants.
The block measures 16" (42cm)
in the month of the block release. Afterwards that block will be $5 the next month.
The small fee goes towards kennel fees and food for the BoM Rescues backstage... thanks!
******
*** The small fee each month ($1) is so that the blocks will NOT be added
to other people's free pattern websites, Pinterest and FaceBook sites that never
ask permission to add my blocks and then don't take them down.
You will find your BoM block in my Online Shop.

Hello to everyone following along with our

Block 5 - Row 1 finished
Hello everyone!
This week we're making block #5 of our
Modern City quilt a long
This block finishes up our first row
The block measures 10,5"
After each week I've sewn the blocks together and so joining block 5 was a bit
of a thrill - I get to see the start of the rest of the pattern.
This has been a very slow sew a long progress but still worth it!

Sew a Long Block #4
Hello and welcome to another installment of our
Modern City Sew a Long
This week we're on Block #4.
As you can see I like to press my seams to one side. It's just something I've always done. You may find the seams bulky - so press them open if you prefer.
Block #4 and then sewn to the first row we're creating.
