Below are Block of the Month programmes which have run their course and all monthly instalments are now available.  Some are still on my Craftsy page just now, but I am slowly adding them to this webstie and moving them over - bear with me!

ALL PHOTOS OF REAL QUILTS ARE EITHER OF MY OWN OR MY CUSTOMERS' QUILTS

On Craftsy, I know sometimes it is a pain to go hunting for instalments for specific programmes amongst everything else on there. So if you would like to do one of these - and they are GREAT fun! -  but either don't see the instalments available here yet, or don't want to engage with Craftsy, just email me on zelda@modernwelshquilts.com and I can invoice you and send you the files digitally once I've received payment.

The cost is $2 per month for all programmes.

 Craftsy don't charge me fees for listing my patterns so please don't think this is underhand!! Nobody is missing out, honest.

All of my BoM progammes have dedicated Facebook pages where everybody engaged in working on them can meet up, share progress and generally have a sort of online 'Bee'. Fast friendships around the world have been formed through these and they are really tons of fun!  If you would like to do any of my BoM programmes and would like to join the relevant group, just email me on zelda@modernwelshquilts.com and I can add you!

STAR PARADE

 An unashamedly patriotic eight month programme in shades of good old 'Red, White and Blue'. The photo on the right shows my menfolk modeling my top immediately after I'd finished it whilst on holiday in Southern Spain!
The one below left is one of my customer's completed quilts which now hangs proudly in her hallway!

SNOWBLOOMS

 A ten month programme  which is really aimed at a confident quilter. All the smaller blocks are historic and have names which are botanical in nature, which gives the programme its name.

REEF ANEMONE

This is a six month programme in response to comments from my customers that they wanted something quick. As a result it does pack quite a lot into each month! All the techniques used, however, are really simple and a confident beginner could tackle this fairly easily

SIMPLE TRADITIONS

This is the first in the 'Traditions' range of block of the months from MWQ and is for people who really don't want to be challenged very much, but just have a nice relaxing 'quilt-in'. It is a ten month programme.

BIBLE TRADITIONS

 This is a 12 month programme  using blocks with Biblical names, a central 'God's Eye' block and trailing vines.  It is the most difficult of the Traditions quilts, but is not truly taxing.

DELFT DELIGHT

This was an eight month MYSTERY programme and we had so much fun together guessing what the final layout would be. I love teasing my customers sometimes!

 SPICE ISLANDS

This was a strange amalgamation of my wish to do a rainbow quilt and a series of dreams about films set in the Pacific, hence the name.
This is one of the few quilts where I really recommend you use just the fabrics I specify if you want to achieve the same effects. You can see the success my customers have had!
The quilt measures around 96" square when finished

SPRING FROLIC
 A joyous eight month romp in springtime colours, reflecting the happiness of new life springing forth in a formal garden. It also has something of the feel of one of the old Baltimore Album quilts, but entirely in piecing. The photo on the right shows is one of my customer's completed top and the one below left is the same quilt, completed, on one of her beds.

SWEET NOTHINGS

 A nine month programme  which is a graded progress from easier blocks through to the more complicated.

FINE DINING

This is a ten month programme and tells the story of a group of diners out for the evening in an upscale restaurant. It is a very large quilt (115" square approximately) and was the result of some of my customers asking for a large quilt. It is aimed at more experienced piecers.

RETURN TO TRADITION

This is the companion project to 'Simple Traditions' and is another ten month project.  The two quilts together will give you a library of 60 blocks from which to choose to make your own future projects!  Like all the Traditions range, it doesn't present too many challenges so is perfect for a relaxing creative time!

NEW BEGINNINGS

This programme runs for 12 monthsand is for anybody who really wants to learn to quilt.  It is almost obligatory to join the Facebook group for this programme because A LOT of useful information has been placed on there and is a free resource for all members to use. Month 2 is free of charge and needs to be obtained from me personally.

 SCHEHERAZADE

This was the result of me hearing a particularly stirring rendition of Rimsky Korsakov's piece on YouTube. Inspiration comes from from strange sources at times - although I wasn't expecting it to turn out so '60s funky'!

The quilt measures about 84" x 104" when complete
