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!

Block is Best

Love my Block magazine. I have been getting it since the first year. Many times the issue comes just before I start a project included in the magazine. I love the smaller project ideas. I am going to make Squirrel in a cage next. The table runner would be great for scraps. I also love that they use other color ways in the magazine and in the video. Quilt patterns can look very different using alternate color ways and fabric. Here is a picture of my Confetti Hearts made using this magazine.

Inspirational, Fun, Easy

I enjoy the variety of projects in each edition. I've made several, and was inspired by one to create my own pattern (a first for me) for a wall hanging (pictured). The instructions are easy to follow and fun to create. I love this magazine.

Loving BLOCK Magazine and all it’s offerings

I have been enjoying this volume of Block Magazine. There is so much to look at, take in and plan on doing in the near future. I love that everything that is offered comes with the best directions for how to get a project started and completed. I also enjoy meeting those who help put together the projects. It makes it feel like I’m together “with” a group working on similar projects. This is a photo of my most recent quilt project. I had seen something similar and knew I had the right fabrics...

Loved it - had already ordered the embroidery wildflowers kit ! Never embroidered before but between the block magazine and tutorial I can’t wait to get started . That’s what I love most about MSQC .

Fresh Ideas

I am enjoying some of the new elements of the Block Magazine. I would still like more variety in the quilt patterns featured each month. Last quarters magazine had a pattern I am trying, but this month nothing grabbed me. I know we quilters can be fickle. Keep up the good work. You can't please everyone all the time, but your desire for excellence in this magazine is so evident. (I've included a picture of an applique kit I purchase from MS and completed.)

BLOCK Magazine 2024 Volume 11 Issue 1

It brought back memories of my younger self in the 60's & 70's when I used to embroider everything from jeans to pictures to frame. I ended up finishing the negative space on a bed runner. Just what it needed! Thanks for the idea!
