Back of the month with May Chappell - Want to design interesting quilt backs? Sometimes they’re as much fun as the front. May Chappell's new club called Back of the Month is like a block of the month for quilt backs! Each month, you'll get a pdf outlining a quilt back design idea. Each will focus on a way to design an interesting back, bringing elements from the front (and using all those scraps!). Since obviously quilt backs are all different sizes, there will be lots of information about sizing things and applying the designs based on what you have. Here are the details: On the 15th of each month, you’ll get an email from Send Owl to download a pdf. The subscription lasts for 6 months and is only $12. You have until August 14 to join. You’ll automatically receive Month One when you sign up! Come join the fun!!Learn creative ways to design your quilt backs with May Chappell's Back of the Month Club!more info- click here! www.maychappell.comHope yall will enjoy checking out the happenings!xo LC
