This ongoing Block of the Month series was designed to inspire you to learn new techniques using My Block Piecer.  As a reminder, the first Saturday of every month will feature the software lesson using My Block Piecer.  The following Wednesday will feature the sewing lesson.

  • You are free to adapt the block to a size of your preference.
  • A free trial of My Block Piecer is available if you’d like to try it before you buy it.  Note the “Save” feature is deactivated until the software is purchased.
  • Interested in learning more about My Block Piecer and other Inspirations Software?  Join us at an Inspirations Event.  Click the Events link for events near you.

    Unquestionably consider that that you stated.
    Your favourite reason seemed to be at the web the simplest
    thing to remember of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed
    whilst other people think about issues that they
    just don’t recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without
    having side effect , other folks could take a signal. Will probably be back to
    get more. Thanks
