The specifics for each month’s projects will be listed in our weekly emails. Once the projects have been determined, the supply lists and preparatory

This remarkable paper-pieced quilt is based on the pottery artwork of the Mimbres natives of

SE Arizona and SW New Mexico. The classes are 2 hours each. Yes, you will bring your ma-chine and sew with the class--this is not a "pick up the pattern and chat" type of Block of the

Month. The classes will generally be the 2nd Saturday of the month and the following Tues-day. Lisa is fully committed to the monthly classes, but reserves the right to adjust the weeks for which the class is currently scheduled to accommodate her vacations. We will give you as

much notice as possible.

Your class fee each month will cover the cost of Lisa's patterns for each block (which retail for

$14 each), the 2 hour class (a $35 value), and the fabric for the inside of each block's circle.

You will be responsible to provide a fat quarter for each ring each month and the turquois fab-

ric for the background. Also, you will choose and provide the fabric for the sashing, the bor-der, the binding, and the backing. The fabrics in your quilt will vary slightly from those pic-tured.

Want to participate but you’re leaving town? Not to worry! We can ship the kit to wherever you

are each month. Then, when you are back in town, you can join back in.
