Missouri Star BLOCK Magazine 2024 Volume 11 Issue 1

It's a new year with BLOCK Magazine, and we proudly present Issue 1, the kickoff edition of Volume 11! This new volume of Block Magazine is here to guide you through embellishing a variety of projects, making each one a standout work of art. We’re thrilled to further explore the world of appliqué and embroidery, adding something extra to our creations!

Embroidery, appliqué, and other fun embellishments are great ways to make your projects unique! We'll introduce you to some artful hand embroidery stitches plus a beginner-friendly toolkit that includes everything you need to get started. Volume 11 will feature more content from Natalie, Misty, and Jenny. Keep up with the Doan ladies and their many projects in our new WIPs segment. Our featured designers, Barb Groves and Mary Jacobson of Me and My Sister Designs, share a glimpse of their creative journey and a unique floral quilt pattern to help your creativity bloom! We're also kicking off our Community Connection Challenge, in which we'll showcase your quilts and projects in each issue of BLOCK this year.

Ready to get back to basics? We're talking all about quilt backs, how to make smart yardage choices, and ways to elevate your quilt backings with patchwork details. And of course, there are plenty of patterns to practice your craft! Create gorgeous quilts to help you celebrate spring, a wide-open zipper bag for accessories, a modern table runner, and many more exciting projects. We are SEW excited to embark on another quilty adventure with you!
