Description: 

The Watergirl Quilt Co. for our 2026 Block-of-the-Month (BOM) is a 12 block program over 10 months via ZOOM.  Join us on a joyful quilting journey using the Holiday Solstice quilt pattern designed by Michelle Renee Hiatt of Sew on the Go.  This beautiful quilt finishes 78″ × 78″.

Zoom sessions will be held monthly.  Additional time has been allotted for the final session to provide time for assembly and finishing instructions.

NOTE: note sessions are instructional and no time is allotted for individual sewing.  You can review instructions by accessing the recording.

This BOM series is perfect for quilters who want to build skills and confidence while creating a warm, seasonal heirloom piece.  During each session, you will be walked through each block, learn essential techniques, and provided with tips as this stunning quilt comes together. Each block introduces new skills and introduces you to Studio 180 Design tool techniques in a friendly, hands-on way.

Whether you’re looking to expand your piecing toolbox, connect with other quilters, or work at your own pace with guided support, this BOM series brings quilting joy right to your sewing space.
