Block
of the Month: This will begin
in March 2008 with a paper pieced block. Complete blocks with
fabric kits can be purchased. The pattern is free after the
first purchase, IF the blocks for the previous month are completed.
You can also purchase just the first pattern, and choose your own
fabrics. Again, each additional pattern for the month is free,
IF you complete the previous month's blocks. You MUST pick
up the blocks on the first Saturday of the month to receive the
pattern free, with your completed blocks. NO EXCEPTIONS.

depending on the complexity of the machine.
