Join us on the last Saturday of every month in 2026 for a Block-of-the-Month! Each month, we will make a different bookshelf block on your embroidery machine! Students will bring their own fabric, but batting and stabilizer will be provided. We will be making 6x6" squares ITH, so be sure to have a large enough embroidery hoop to accommodate a 6" design.
Join us on the last Saturday of every month in 2026 for a Block-of-the-Month! Each month, we will make a different bookshelf block on your embroidery machine!
Students will bring their own fabric, but batting and stabilizer will be provided. We will be making 6x6" squares ITH, so be sure to have a large enough embroidery hoop to accommodate a 6" design.
The quilt can be as large or small as you would like; once we have completed all 8 squares, you can edit previous squares on your machine to say different book names to make your quilt even bigger!
The bookshelf style of the quilt makes it perfect for practicing embroidery design customization through renaming the books as you like!
