The LQS I go to offered this as a monthly class for several months last year. I did not do it but my good friend did and I saw her finished quilt yesterday (she had just finished binding it). The quilt is absolutely gorgeous!!! She said it is easily the most costly quilt she has ever made as she had to purchase several 'feet' for her machine in order to do all the techniques. However, she did learn ALOT and also used several of those decorative stitches on her machine that she had not used before. Also, due to elaborate blocks, when she had it long-armed it was a bit more expensive as there was no way to do an all-over quilting design. Like I said, though, it is gorgeous and she is very happy with it!

Re the extra feet: she learned to put ribbon in her bobbin and sew, also to do chenille for some of the stems, and there was one foot where you put several different threads through it (can't remember what it was exactly), she did different kinds of yo-yos on some of the flowers, etc. Lots and lots of different techniques were used.

the LQS that's somewhat near me doesn't offer a BOM, and the one that's far away from me offers one but it's like $25 a month, and I can't afford that.

What does this one look like?

Sandy, I love your blocks. I like how using different material gives the quilt an entirely different look.

I am making two quilts; one with batiks and one with brights. I really can't believe how much I have learned and how much fun it is.

Pam, Yes, it is quite expensive. Different groups charge different amounts. Ours only charges $10 per month. But it was $50. to sign up. That included the 5 yards of material for the background. I plan on quilting my own. I just got my new Janome Horizon and hope to do a couple practice quilts before I do this one.

We meet again next week. I can't wait to get my next blocks.

The group that I started the Stitchers garden with is done. I; however; still have four blocks to complete. Maybe the 4th would be a good day to finnish them. The blocks are easy and I enjoy doing them. But I am in the middle of another quilt, Floral Vignettes, that is above my ability. I get frustrated and stop for days and I know that I want to finnish it. Sort of - Get this tiger off my back stuff.
I am going to read this whole thread and get inspired! I hope.

Kathryn,

I didn't remember that I had already posted to this thread so now I have to double my efforts to finnish.

I really do have to finnish,

I have seen pictures of this quilt. It is so beautiful. I want to know if it is only given at a sewing center? I cannot find one close and would like to know some details about this quilt. Thanks
