You've been waiting a long time, and now it's finally here, the new TQS BOM created by Sarah Vedeler! Beginning in January 2012, this new block of the month will be available in two color-ways.  You can see both versions here, hanging behind their creator, Sarah Vedeler. Either quilt can be made using an embroidery unit or the AccuQuilt Go! Dies.  It can, of course, be made in the traditional manner.  More information will be available later, we just wanted to get you the pictures as soon as possible.

You'll be hearing more about Sarah, but if you'd like to learn a little bit now, you can watch Sarah in Episode 904: The Wonderful World of Embroidered Applique. Or, you can watch her visit with Sharon Pederson at Spring Quilt Market. Or, take a look at her other fabulous quilts.

You can also see Sarah's award- winning quilts on her website.

Kits will be available as before in both color-ways.  There will also be accompanying videos to guide you on your year long journey.

So it's time to finish up those last few projects and start planning for next year.
