I wanted to thank all of you for your attention over the past year or so while I tried to provide interesting content for this blog. As with all volunteer organizations, resources are limited and they must be deployed in the most effective manner possible to maximize a limited number of volunteer hours. I am pleased that the board is trying new things and attempting to create a nice mix that serves the group.
The BAM Board has decided to use the blog for a different purpose and, thus, a lot of the content I was providing will no longer be needed in this venue. The new Social Media Chair and the Board will be making the changes soon and I am sure you will see some interesting and exciting new things.
See you soon!
Your editor

BAM-BOM Block #4 Spring Mod Block
This post is part of the Block of the Month series, sponsored by Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild. See all the blocks right here.
We did not post the March block separately (it was in the meeting report) so if you missed that, the March block was the Snails Trail.
For April, we are teaming up with the Portland Modern Quilt Guild. They are doing their own BOM, but this month we planned to do the same one at the same time for a bit of extra fun. Remember this QuiltCon Challenge Block by Heather at joyofallcrafts? (Heather used to live in the Bay Area and was in our guild before moving to Portland a few years ago.)
.
Awesome, right? Heather offered (ok, so we kind of volunteered her) to make at tutorial for a 12" version of her block. Head over to her blog and check out the gorgeous Spring Mod version that she design for us.
