2008 Monthly Quilt Squares

RELEASE DATES:

One quilt square will be released each month.   Thank you everyone, and enjoy your project!

New Release: December Quilt Square

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!  The tree is waiting to be trimmed with ornaments and gifts. May all your holiday prayers be answered, and may the coming year bring you health and happiness! **Please return in January for the final section of this piece;  the quilt poem!**

New Release:  November Quilt Square

I don't know what it is like across the globe, but starting in November here,  it is Brrrrrrr! Frigid-cold! I felt a snowman was appropriate!  If you look closely enough while stitching, you may just see a glimmer of the magic of Winter!

New Release:  October Quilt Square

October's square is alllll about kitty! I adore cats, so I only thought it fitting to make sure 'the black cat' was my center in this design.  I do hope you enjoy!

INFORMATION:

The following twelve designs will be complimentary throughout the year of 2008.  However, after December 31st of 2008, you will need to purchase them as a package for $12.00.  That being said, be sure to remember to check back often! :)

INSTRUCTIONS:
I HIGHLY suggest using EVENWEAVE for these designs.  There will be different specialty stitches and fractionals in the months ahead, and evenweave will be MUCH easier for you to obtain the look you would like.  Using aida will not bring about the desired results that evenweave will. :-) 

DIMENSIONS: TOTAL design's stitch count is 100w x 197h.  IF you are stitching on 28 count evenweave--leaving three-inch fabric borders all the way around, you will need a piece of fabric measuring 14 x 21.  This will leave room for a poem underneath the 12 squares.  I have designed it to be three months in each row, with a poem at the bottom about quilts, but your layout can be whatever you wish it to be!! :)

**This design is meant to be stitched 2 over 2**  

As this is a mystery project, I cannot share the poem until the very end of the year, when all twelve quilt squares have been released.  However, I can tell you that if you choose not to use the poem in your piece, you can always cut the fabric off at three inches below the 12 squares, and that will work just fine as well. 

IMPORTANT NOTE---LEAVE EIGHT (8) BLANK STITCHES BETWEEN SQUARES, HORIZONTALLY!  This is 16 threads if you are stitching on 28 count evenweave.
IMPORTANT NOTE---LEAVE EIGHT (8) BLANK STITCHES BEWEEN MONTH NAMES AND SQUARES, VERTICALLY.  This is 16 threads if you are stitching on 28 count evenweave.

**Not doing so will cause you to not have enough fabric**-----and we wouldn't want that!! It's a huge stitcher's nightmare to run out of fabric! :o)


Have fun!!  Each month's design will be posted on the first day of each month.  IF you come to the site and do not see the monthly quilt square that is due for that month, PLEASE fill out the comment section on the home page and let me know that I'm slacking!!

Happy Stitching, and please check out my designs that are for sale!

Sincerely,

Julie Stucky of Juggy Bug Designs
