Blue bishop square

Here is the finished blue bishop square. Just a few changes from the original gave it a completely different look.

August 2011 Program

Block 1

Here is a photo of the finished block in green, and also the partially completed dress in the blue print just to give you an idea of the different colors.

The first block for our little quilt is a bishop with angel wing sleeves. You may choose to make it in either green or blue. The kit will include the pleated fabric, floss, ribbon (for the green dress), the background fabric for the block, and the directions. You will need to bring basic sewing supplies as well as an embroidery needle (#8 Crewel works nicely) and a #9 milliner for the bullion roses. For those of you wanting an extra block, you may purchase an extra bishop kit in the other color as long as there are kits available.

You may add your own lace on the sleeves, hem them, or put another decorative edging on them. There is no lace in the kit.

See you on Tuesday, August 23, 7:00 at the Powell Center.
