$8.00

Simple pieced blocks with fusible applique create the beauty of this original quilt design. Measuring 24" square, the Baltimore Album-style pieced blocks are accented with a colorful Baltimore Oriole. Batik fabrics work especially well for the applique bird & leaves. Being of a nice tight weave with graduations of color within each piece makes batik fabrics quite pleasing for nature studies, including this beautiful portrayal of a Baltimore Oriole perched among the branches

Easy log cabin background blocks with applique flowers & leaves. Choose either a scrappy mix or an interesting single fabric for each area. These sunflowers should help a room to bloom quickly. Finished size 77" x 96".

Item 01126
$8.00

An enchanted gathering of fairies in the flowers, this applique wall hanging is made with a pieced border.

Be sure you have enough material to get the shades & contrast you want. Finished size 22" x 29".

 

Peace
Item 00724
$7.00

Piece A Peaceful Jungle Scene! This quilt pattern allows you to choose & arrange your own animals to applique on a simple half-square triangle pieced background.

Save The Rain Forest
Item 99319
$7.00

Bright tropical floral applique against a background of black & white "Crosses and Losses" blocks that signify the desolation left behind as the rain forest is destroyed, resulting in the loss of many valuable species. Definitely a heavy cross to bear! This wall hanging measures approx. 32" square.

   

The Northern Lily & The Southern Rose
Item 97309
$7.00

Inspired by a lecture on Civil War quilts by Barbara Brackman and a verse from 1855 by Lucy Larcom, this design is not meant to be an authentic reproduction, but rather a tribute to those women of old, who in ways both quiet & bold, endured and participated in times of war. The central portion of this design is reminiscent of the soldiers' quilts of the era (made by women) while the border reflects the verse. Pattern includes rotary cutting instructions for the simple piecing as well as applique templates. Finished size 80" x 94".

   

The Ancestor Quilt
Item 98917
$7.00

Since I am not fortunate enough to have any quilting ancestors from whom to inherit lovely old quilts, I thought I would have to buy my own "Ancestor quilt". After seeing the prices of the ones I liked, I decided to combine several favorite elements and make my own! If you love the look of ancestor quilts, you can start your own heirloom to pass on right now! Finished size 83" x 94".

   

From The Ashes

$8.00

From The Ashes of the World Trade Center, America will rise stronger than ever. Lady Liberty stands proud in the harbor as she has done since 1886 - with her message of freedom. Pieced Tumbling Blocks done in shades of gray represent the destruction as they morph into golden stars of hope. Add hand or machine applique and a message to complete this quilt of recovery. Finished size 38" x 39".

   

Star Flowers
Item 94804
$8.00

Star Flowers is a variation of the old seven sisters pattern that looks hard, but has been made easy in this design. Those points just happen! Follow the instructions for the simple piecing procedure, add applique and enjoy the compliments! Finished size 84" x 106" (queen). Includes directions for 32" square wall hanging.

   

Season 1 - Winter & Fall
Item 98214
$8.00

White on White Horse

Item 98215

Make them all or only one, but these four seasonal banners are designed to look even better as a group, flowing one into the other. A simple pieced background with easy machine or hand applique, each banner measures 13" x 31".

   

Udderly Preposterous
Item 94402
$7.00

A Guild challenge was the inspiration for this quilt, which needed to feature some semblance of the "Hole In The Barn Door" block. Udderly Preposterous is an easy & quick project - just rotary cut for the background and use freezer paper applique to complete the cow. With this pattern, even a beginner can have fun " looking through the hole in the barn door". Finished size 29" square.

   

Indian Ponies
Item 98816
$7.00

An original design inspired by painted pottery, these stylized ponies are easy to do in hand or machine applique with a simple pieced inner border. Cover photo shows the simplest border - cut from one interesting piece of fabric, though we found at least five that would have worked the day we went shopping. Stripes also work especially well with this design. If you prefer, a pieced border is included in the pattern. Finished size 31.5" x 33".

   

Kansas Country
Item 94401
$7.00

A Kansas Flinthills scene molded into the shape of the state and appliqued onto an enlarged "Kansas" block from the 1800's, this quilt pattern is a fitting tribute to those early pioneer women who crossed the plains and left us the rich quilting heritage that we enjoy today. Cover photo shows the Winter & Fall versions of this 44" square wall hanging.
