Block of the Month from Debby Kratovil Quilts

Are you ready for a knock-your-socks-off Block of the Month? 

Free Block of the Month from Debby Kratovil Quilts

This is a free block of the month, but Debby requires that you sign up by email or follow her on bloglovin' to be able to receive a notice that the next block is available.

 Debby designed this quilt as a Block of the Month program for Intown Quilters (Atlanta, Georgia) in 2006. It also appeared in Quilt Magazine in the November/December 2006 issue. Now you can enjoy the beauty of this quilt for yourself, making it in the colors of your choice! And it's FREE!

Free Pattern

A friend has steered me towards Row by Row quilts. What fun! I have not worked on one, yet, simply because everyone of my sewing machines and all of my supplies are in storage.

Hopefully, I will have access to my 'stuff' soon!

In the meantime, as I was browsing and looking at Row by Row quilts and patterns, I ran across a cute free pattern for a rooster mug rug here on the WestMichQuilter Blog.

 

Enjoy!
