2026 BOM Registration

BOM LITE

Size: 28.5” x 21.5” or 16.5” x 38.5”

In years gone by, dotted along the historic highways and byways of our country stands fantastical buildings created to attract a new & growing demographic:  cross country drivers.  Novelty architecture, mimetic architecture, Duck architecture- it goes by many names, buildings intentionally built to look like (or remind us of) something else.  

This little quilt is inspired by the unusual, playful, and sometimes downright bizarre buildings dotting our cross country roadways.  Bending fact into fiction, we’ve created an eccentric little town of themed buildings and homes.

Join with us, the Spargo Sisters, and turn these hidden roadside gems into a fun, small format wall hanging-which will undoubtedly be bursting with color and whimsy!

You can choose the orientation of your quilt! Hang it as a traditional quilt, or use it as a fun table runner or a whimsical door hanger for a child’s room.

BOM CLASSIC

Size: 46.5” x 34.5” or 34.5” x 46.5”

Step into a world of color, culture, and stitching tradition with Sue Spargo’s newest Block of the Month program—inspired by her travels to India.

Rooted in the spirit of Toran—a decorative hanging placed at the entrance of Indian homes to symbolize hospitality and a warm welcome—this quilt celebrates the joy of inviting others in. Designed to be displayed horizontally or vertically, Kith & Kin offers versatility for your home and becomes a striking centerpiece wherever it hangs.

This year’s journey invites you to expand your creative repertoire with fresh techniques influenced by Indian embroidery traditions. Expect richly textured layers, vibrant embellishments, intricate stitching, and playful motifs—all brought to life against a warm latte-colored wool background. The quilt will radiate with bright, saturated threadwork and embellishments, echoing the joyful palettes found in Indian textiles and artistry.

As with every Sue Spargo BOM, each month you’ll receive carefully curated materials, detailed instructions, and expert guidance to build your quilt step by step—alongside a global community of makers.
