I love joining things, blocks of the month, reading clubs, cleaning clubs, painting clubs, oh my!! But I just found a real cute one at Gnome Angels It’s reading and quilting together.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Every month I’m provided with 2 reading prompts + 3 patchwork prompts.
I choose: 1-2 Reading prompts and 1-3 patchwork prompts.
For example, I can choose 1 reading prompt + 2 patchwork prompts.
I can choose to do as much or as little as I want. It’s completely up to me – no pressure.
I can customize the prompts to suit my situation and the readings or quilts I am already doing. According to this group there’s no right or wrong way to use the prompts. It’s reading and patchwork my way.
WHAT ARE THE PROMPTS?
The prompts are below. On the site you get an explanation for each prompt and if you sign up for the newsletter you can get a pdf of all this. I’m behind on this so I got to catch up.
