February's Quilt Block Mania theme is Maker!
My mom, Sharon Schamber (formerly Atkin), is a maker, a creator, a designer, a visionary. She and my dad started a small dress designing and manufacturing company in the late 1970's, when I was just a little girl. Their company grew and grew and (get this!) she even designed prom dress patterns for McCall's!! She's the queen!!
My mom always had a tape measure draped around her neck and a pencil behind her ear while she designed and worked. I fondly remember sitting on her sewing machine table as a little girl mesmerized by her speed and grace as she created something that moments before were just pieces.
As an ode to my mom and to celebrate the maker in each of us, I designed a pencil and tape measure quilt block called: Make My Mark.
There are so many fun color combo possibilities, too! This one featuring the classic pencils of childhood is one of my favorites.
The Make My Mark quilt block is a traditionally pieced block with Stitch N Flip units and some strip piecing, which makes it really great for fine-tuning and building your piecing skills.
The Make My Mark Quilt Block, along with the other QBM blocks, measure 12.5"x12.5", unfinished. Each block is FREE during the month of February 2024, so you can combine blocks into a fabulous quilt or pick and choose your favorites. (Scroll down for the list of designers and links to their patterns). After February 2024, my pattern will be available to purchase as a download in my shop for $6.
Be sure to join the Quilt Block Mania Facebook Group for inspiration and to share your own blocks.
