Hi all!
I know that many of you may consider me a heretic for doing this, but I have
gotten interested in the Century Quilt kits from JoAnn's. Apparently they do
this every year...news to me (I don't generally shop there). I normally work
with my own patterns and some of the Thimbleberry patterns for quilts.

I like this quilt and would like to have it ready for a friend who will be
moving away. I have most of the months completed, but am still on the lookout
for January, February, July and October as well as the Setting kit to complete
the top.

Does anyone out there have these or know where I can find them? I have searched
all over, made multiple calls and am about to give up. I need these blocks to
finish. If all else fails, I am going to improvise! Quilters get very good at
that!

Please let me know where you have seen these months so I can call and get them
shipped out to me!
Thanks!
James

Have you tried www.joann.com. You can buy them on line.

I tried that but they don't have what I need. I tracked down three of them
today, so now I only need January and the Setting Kit. This might be a
challenge!
Thanks!

you could try posting on www.missingfabrics.com - they have a section for
non-fabric items that people are looking for

THE REAR OF THE STORE. I DID SEE OCTOBER AND AT LEAST TWENTY KITS ON
6/22. THE STORE IS ON WHITTIER BLVD @ FIRST STREET. HOPE THIS LEAD
HELPS YOU.

Poor James!
You have quite a challenge ahead of you. A friend and I began one of
these JoAnn quilts.
It has been over a year now, and we still don't have all of the fabrics
for it, despite assurances that the fabric was coming in, emails to
them, and trips to all the local JoAnn stores. Bet you buns you'll
improvise--we have embroidered fabric. And the instructions provided are
incomprehensible.

Cea, the good news is that with help, I was able to track down all 12 blocks
and the setting kit for the Century Quilt! I am sewing away and I am almost
finished!
Thanks!

I have one of those myself. I have managed to finish everything except one
pesky project that I simply can't make myself finish. Don't know why
really...just don't like it I guess.
