2016 Block Party, Eleanor Rules (El's Rulers in Action!)
I'm excited! This one sounds like sooo much fun (and I own most, possibly all of the rulers!)
I have it on good authority that it will be 1 quilt a month and all of them are new.

Quilts from El's Attic Show and tell:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ2brz3 ... J2brz3r4k4
January: Crazy Ann! Half-rectangle ruler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AkKRH2 ... AkKRH2Ce0M
February: Le Moyne Star- just HST and 4 patches! Who knew! Picture looked like Hunters Star......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2L4Khz ... 2L4KhzJoIg
March: Water Wheel Quilt from 2 12" strips & squares cut on both diagonals for triangles. Very fast and fun!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIlmBi_ ... IlmBi_w6vw
Live demo to be shown on 14th (again) since patterns were delayed.
April: Kaleidoscope 2 quilt--you'll need the kaleidoscope ruler!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHGrwnP ... HGrwnPZX3w video is up!!
May: Watermelon Wall Hanging. Very helpful if you already have the Wedding Ring ruler set but they'll have the part you need for the rind on sale this month for us, plus the fusible web arcs!

June: Glorified Nine Patch (a wee bit of applique, AKA Improved Nine Patch)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV_yGHv ... xNtogZAMad
July: New Amish Quilts (jelly roll friendly!)--5 layouts for different looks. Taught by El's sister Patty and son Orion due to El's broken leg.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KLPe37 ... KLPe37d7mc
August: Patches of Life. HSTs, 4-Patches & Triangle in a Square Patches. Taught by Orion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmwaQ-Z ... mwaQ-Zee2A
September: Magic Carpet Ride made with 2 charm packs and background PLUS Speedy Delivery (envelop shapes cut from hourglass blocks made from 5" squares using new 4" Trimmed Star Ruler). It's always nice to get an extra gift!! Taught by Orion (he's too funny!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujyawrB ... jyawrBzgPI
October: Tea Party and Basket Weave--2 patterns again and a template ruler (for Tea party--is also used for Kylie's Kite and Crazy Ann!!)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=em- ... pn8_4KB0VU

I have been buying El's rulers since 2005 so I know I have many of them.
Will we be able to see what she is making if we don't sign up for the BOM?

El's Block Party is shown on vimeo or ustream 'live' every month (both morning and evening classes) for those that sign up.
I will post YouTube links when they are uploaded (or when I remember to look for them!) Video can be found at www.quiltinaday.com two weeks after live performance.
Hopefully patterns will come early enough to also grab the correct rulers every month!! These are going to be 'Signature' Patterns (rather than a book). So you can always purchase the patterns separately if you can't sign up for Block Party. They are usually $9 each ($108 for all 12). Block Party sign-up is 50% off right now: $54.00--a great bargain, plus you'll get a discount on rulers if you're signed up!!! (still, I'm hoping I already have them.....)
See you on 12 January for first class (proceeded by 'show and tell' from 2015 Block Party at 9:00 Pacific standard time.

Re: 2016 Block Party, Eleanor Rules (El's Rulers in Action!)
Hi
I need some of your help. I am wondering how does this work?? If I sign up and pay $54 what to I get?? Do I get each month directions only, directions and fabric or is this $54 a month??? I understand that I will get a discount on the rulers but I am just not sure what the %54 dollars covers and at this price it sounds like really a good thing. if I do not get a month done by the next lesson, will I be kicked out and since I do not live close enough to attend, I will be able to see it on the stream live a few weeks after it posts, right?
Head is spinning don't know what to do, I want to quilt so badly, but I guess I need someone holding my hand so to speak. I thought this commitment my make me do it finally.
Can anyone explain how it works?
Thanks
