Annual Conference Quilting Bee

Calling All Needle Artists!

Celebrate 2022

Your congregation is invited to create a block for the 2022 Conference quilts.


ALL Quilt Blocks should be postmarked by May 15, 2022

Mail your quilt block and a dollar (or more) donation (checks payable to AACB) to offset the cost of quilting materials to:

Margaret Weybright
1801 Greencroft Blvd. Apt. #125
Goshen, IN 46526

Quilt tops are assembled before conference.
No blocks can be accepted at conference for this year’s quilts.
All blocks delivered at conference will be considered for next year’s quilts and wall hangings.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR QUILT BLOCK

TYPE OF FABRIC
• Pre-shrunk cotton or cotton blend.
• If you use stabilizer, Please use only water soluble, very soft or easily removed backing.

Do not use: double knit,
counted cross-stitch on canvas,
liquid embroidery, padded blocks,
or heat-applied designs or photos.

PLEASE: NO GLUE

PATTERN
• Use your own creativity to make your design.

Important: Identify your block with your congregation’s name, state, and/or district. This makes the quilts more valuable! (Second blocks from your congregation need not be identified.)

SIZE OF BLOCK
• Outside border: Not less than 8½ square AFTER it is worked.
• Inside design: Not more than 8” square with nothing in the seam allowance.
Cut the block to size AFTER it has been pieced, embroidered, or appliquéd.
Accuracy is important.
Blocks less than 8½ inches will not fit;
larger designs will be obscured.

We plan to be at Omaha for conference this year, but in the event of COVID restrictions, we will still do wall hangings to be quilted at a later date. So please, send those blocks!!
