As a long time member of several guilds in the various cities I’ve lived in, and a former Officer in a Quilt Guild I know how much work it is to put together Guild programming. So, I’ve tried to take some of the work from you. Enjoy!

Free Quilt Blocks for Guilds

These quilt blocks are designed for you to use with your guild. All blocks are a standard size – they finish at 12″. They are designed for beginning quilters, using simple techniques such as half-square-triangles and stitch-and-flip corners. A few of the blocks have some “confident beginner” techniques, but all the patterns are explained in detail as well as fully illustrated to give confidence to even a not-so-confident beginner. Experienced quilters will enjoy the quick and simple patterns, with lots of room for making color and fabric choices.

As you know, simply taking a quilt pattern off the internet to share with your guild can violate the copyright of the pattern designer. I have already included permission right on the pattern for guilds to copy and distribute these patterns, both electronically and in print form, as needed.

You can use the quilt blocks for “Lotto Blocks,” where guild members make as many blocks as they want to bring to a meeting, with one quilter chosen as a winner to take home all the blocks. You can also use them for charity quilts, opportunity quilts, and more.

There are two different collections of blocks. There are “seasonal” blocks which are fun motifs that you can use depending on the season, and there are geometric-shaped blocks that are designed to be incredibly scrappy to make for really fun quilts when all the blocks are put together. You can use one collection or both for your guild.

The collections are not yet complete – you’ll get an email to the address you enter below as more blocks are added.

Available Classes

Unfortunately, I’ve had to step away from offering classes and lectures to guilds. There is only one me, and not enough hours in the day. It was a hard decision to make – I love supporting guilds!
