Monday Book Club

This Monday we have a special treat!

Our feature book is "Hobo Quilts"
by Debra G. Henninger

I first heard about this book from a friend and work colleague.
She had seen the book while at Quilt Market in Minnesota.
I was so intrigued and charmed by the description she
gave of the book, I couldn't wait until it came to the shop.

Much like the quilt books about the Underground Railroad,
This book focuses on the secret clues & symbols of the
Depression Era American Hobo who set out riding the
rails searching for work.
I loved the historic photos, the interesting stories and......

Oh yes the quilt blocks!

It really opened my eyes to how hard times
were during the depression and the people who
risked everything to find work.

Loved this book!

Broadbent's is starting A "Hobo Quilt Club"...
Purchase the book + $20 per month for 6 months
That gets you 10 block kits each month.

Bring in your finished blocks and get..
25% off your sashing, borders & back.

Your going to love it! 

Don't delay, we only cut 18 kits.

Monday Book Club

The choice for today is a little different....
I wouldn't exactly call it a book, more a
pattern.  But it's so darn cute!

I first saw this when I went to a super
great quilting retreat last February.

Halloween seemed so far away then,
Now I clicked my red heels 3 times &
summer is nearly over.

Halloween
is just around the corner.

I just love the possibilities this pattern
offers.  Warm, cosy & a little bit vintage.

I don't think you can go wrong with
Blackbird Designs.......and

"Hallowe'en 1904"

Monday Book Club #5

This is a great book for those of you
who love applique' a little more on
the whimsical side of things.

Piece O' Cake Designs
has been bringing us great
fresh applique'
for quite a few years.

This book and it's patterns are
different as they are all done
without exact measurements,
and exact patterns.  Intriguing?
Well I thought so....

As always the graphics and pictures
are so great.  They capture the
fantastic use of color and
instructions teach you how to
achieve bursts of color
that will bring your creations
alive. 

The projects are all delicious!

Give it a whirl, I am sure you
will find joy in their
"No Rules...No Ruler" technique

as you...
Applique' Outside the Lines!
