Please Join Us! Step back in history to the greatest generation and stitch your quilt in memory of those bygone days!

VICTORY QUILTS Block-of-the-Month Club!



America's quilting treasure, Eleanor Burns, presents us with her newest quilting masterpiece and adventure -- Victory Quilts! It represents a look back to the 1940’s and life on the home front during the War years. It's also a meaningful way to recognize the current efforts and sacrifices of our country and our troops at home and around the globe.

This senational sampler quilt offers patterns and techniques for 20 blocks, each representing a slice of history with a story to tell. The blocks are traditional patterns, each popular during that era and each a symbolic remembrance: Sky Rocket recognizes the tragic bombing of Pearl Harbor; Broken Sugar Bowl brings to mind rationing during the War; Signal Light recalls air raid warnings; Army Star honors our Armed Services. There's even a wonderful block called Mr. Roosevelt's Necktie!

As you may be well aware, Eleanor Burns' is a natural teacher, and through this project she shares her techniques for squaring up triangle pieced squares, appliqué, flying geese patches (simply awesome), Y seams, and much more. Border techniques are explained in detail and add unique interest to the quilt projects. Same block repeat patterns are included in addition to a tablerunner.

The Victory Quilts hardcover book contains yardage and cutting charts for several quilt sizes and the blocks can be made in either 12” or 6” finished sizes. It has over 200 pages and includes traceable templates. Eleanor also shares a recipe for Sugarless Cake, a popular treat in wartime when sugar was rationed.

Our club kits will include the Victory Quilts book, the wonderful new set of Quilt In A Day Mini-Rulers (value $13.45), and all fabric needed for the top and binding of the beautiful 20-block straight-set layout with the gorgeous Ribbon Border. This layout features twenty 12-inch blocks -- one of each block featured in the book. There are easy, intermediate, and advanced blocks among the collection. The finished size of the quilt is 96" x 112".

The fabrics? WOW! All fabrics will be from Moda's design team, Minnick & Simpson. They are well known for their beautiful American prints, and you will fall in love with these fabrics. There are 22 different prints in these kits -- all from Minnick & Simpson's Prairie Paisley and American Primer collections. The fabrics are primarily reds, blues, creams, and beiges, but there are wonderful touches of golden yellow and soft green as well. It's a beautiful color palette!

Our Victory Quilts Club will be $12.75 per month, and the kits will be available bi-monthly (so you will purchase two months' kits at a time). This saves you nearly 50% on shipping costs throughtout the year compared to other places. When you belong to more than one of our clubs, your kits will all be shipped together, saving you even more! Shipping costs are minimal -- generally $4.95 for each bi-monthly package, and may be less if we can utilize First Class mail when packs are 13 ounces or less.

Please join us! Our quilt club members hail from all around the world, including the United States, Australia, Norway, England, Germany, Canada, and Denmark. We have the very best quilt clubs you'll find anywhere with the best values, the best fabrics, NO registration fees, a $5 gift certificate when you finish a quilt club, and personalized customer service.

When you purchase this item, you are automatically registered for Victory Quilts Club and you will receive the first two month's kits. For future kits, you'll receive an invoice every other month via Pay Pal to alert you that your next kits are ready. We do NOT keep your credit information on file; it's safer for you and for us. You are in complete control of each payment! It's just one more way that our quilt clubs are different from others.
