April Block of the Month #8
Wow, that was a fun ride through Albuquerque! The ladies have spoken and they are happy with the show! I fact they have donated the next pattern!!! The Whirling Stars block is such a fun and beautiful piece of art! This block was designed to look like a Circus Windmill toy for kids, One of the Circus’ first toy they ever sold! It may look complicated BUT it truly is easy if you work in quadrants! Let blow some wind and root for the Ring Master this month!
A Reminder! Bring your blocks from December, January, February and March to this month’s meeting to show!
Note: Block of the month ends in August. If you are interested in running this program for 2024-2025, contact president@nlcqg.org. **On a personal note, this is the first guild program your current president ran! A great way to get your feet wet.
