Hi I’m Pat Sloan (in the polka dot top) the host of Aurifil’s Designer of the Month program! This is going to be an exciting year of getting to know 12 Designers and learn about them. PLUS they will each do a small MINI project for you this year, how fun is that? 12 mini quilts!
Let me introduce you to the group

We had a little fun with Aurifil’s GIANT spools!! Look carefully at the faces… by the way… I’m pretty sure Joanna snagged that spool to take home!
This year we moved the Interview to Jan 12 – 15. So many of you have other Block of the month programs that start on the first, so we are going to balance out the month by giving you the Mini quilt about the middle of the month this year!
Interested in the FREE Patterns from Prior years?
On our sidebar is a category called Designers of the Month, click it!
yay – looks like a fun crew and looking forward to doing minis !!
Looks like it is going to be another great year. Thank you Pat and all the participants.
What a great-looking group of people! I’m really looking forward to 2015 and the new designs and reading about the creators….. I’m Bookmarking this NOW!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays to everyone, see you in January!
This sounds like fun! I have never made a mini quilt. Count me in Pat Sloan!
OMG! I could use a few of those HUGE spools,probably would never need to buy thread again!
Just imagine the spool holder you would need! I love minis-can’t wait!
How can I get my hands on one of those spools?!!!!
I like the idea of mini quilts , can’t wait to start.
Hi there
I have a janome 1600p quilting machine and I do a lot of quilting for a charty called Sunshine Linus on the Sunshine Coast in Australia
Would I be able to use Aurifil cotton on it to quilt some quilts with
Thanks

I didn’t discover your site until around September of this year so was very late to the party. Am really looking forward to starting at the beginning in January.
Sounds exciting. Lots of new faces
Will be excited to see the quilts from Kimberly Jolly and Valori Wells. Happy birthday to you. Loved the button block!
I am looking forward to seeing the quilts of Kimberly Jolly. Should be FUN !
I am raring to go! This will be my first year to join the mini-quilt-along. I recognize several names and faces of the 2015 designers and am excited to see what they come up with! Thanks to all for sharing your talents and skills with us!
I just joined the BOM in November so I’m looming forward to continuing this year. Super excited to see Sara Lawson and Kimberly jolly!
Will all of the minis be the same finished size, or will there be a variety of sizes?
