New pattern!
 |
"Sunrise/Sunset" was originally inspired by that family in Iowa who got 7 babies at once back in about 1999. The first of these went to the McCaughey children. The grandma-age ladies in the quilt guild who saw me making it all went about apeshit over the design. Strip-pieced bands of color make sunrise and sunset skies behind a sunflower head that is really a photo frame. The stem of the sunflower is a tape measure, and the leaves for the stem are formed of pieces of ribbon . The 8" blocks making up most of the wall hanging can be anything you want to do. Mine tend to be about half miniature panel prints (the heart-haloed teddy bear, for instance) and half pieced blocks. If you use panel prints throughout for the 8" squares, this can be really easy quilting. Putting the sunflower head together is the most complicated part of the project. $8.50 |
I would not call either of these exactly "entry level" quilting.

| "Flying
Ivory Bills" is an
adaptation of a traditional design called "Flying Geese".
Strip-pieced "bird" triangles chase one another
across a
woodsy green background inspired by the East Arkansas river-bottom
forests. $8.50 |
"Four Seasons Star"
is a
variation on the "Lone Star" pattern that is usually done with eight
points. This one has twelve; one for each month of the year.
The
star is one patchwork unit; the four seasons behind the star are
another. Then the star gets applique'd in place. Zodiac sign
symbols are included in the border quilting. $8.50 |
This price includes shipping.
