Baskets, Baskets, Everywhere!
Okay ladies (and gents), step right up, step right up, don't be shy, we've got a new Sampler in town that's gonna make your hearts fly! Starting in January, (which is just around the corner - crazy, I know!) we're starting a new program here at Sew Inspired. It's a combination block-of-the-month/demo/club type of thing, and we're really excited about it. Here's the deal. On the second Saturday of each month, come to the shop (choose either the 9AM or 10:30AM session) and hang out while you find out what that month's block looks like, and any tips or tricks we might have for piecing it. The first session is January 9th, and the fabric and pattern for the block costs just $6.
Now, the fun part comes in. Make sure to keep up the good work, and come to each successive gathering, bringing with you your completed block from the previous month, and your next month's fabric and pattern is FREE! That's right, flat out FREE. If you can manage to get yourselves and your finished baskets to the shop each month (and we truly hope you do), come December you'll have made twelve 10" blocks for just $6. And, to make things even better, you can choose between two color ways: batiks and reproductions. What's not to love?
Of course, you knew there was going to be some small print to this program, but since my eyes are probably just as bad as yours, I won't actually make the print any smaller. Here are the rules:
- Come January 9th and pay $6 to receive your first block.
- Each successive month you must come in person to a scheduled session and bring the prior month's completed block to receive that month's block for free.
- If you miss a month, you can "catch up" by purchasing that month's block for $6.
- Whew. That's it. No more rules! I'm glad, aren't you?
Fabric packs will be available for the smaller basket blocks, as well as for sashing, setting triangles, and borders. Both colorways will be super scrappy, so there's bound to be something for everyone.
So, now that we've settled that, I think it's time you signed up. What do you think?
