  Flight of Fancy, Crabapple Hill Designs
  Redwork birds flutter and sing on this 76" square quilt!  Made up of 12 embroidered blocks and 13 simple pieced blocks, Meg Hawkey of Crabapple Hill Designs has created another wonderful quilt pattern which we are sharing as a block of the month in 2010.

The fabrics are from the Rouenneries collection by French General for Moda.  The selection of fabrics includes a variety of prints and textures in soft, faded

  reds and soothing creams, ticking stripes, and Provincial checks ... combined together to form the perfect "frame" for the embroidered birds that are the highlight of the quilt.

  Americana Modern, Diane Nagle for Benartex
   

We love all things Nancy Halvorsen and we hope you do, too!

Americana Modern, designed by Diane Nagle for Benartex, features Nancy Halversen's newest fabric collection, Tried and True.

The colors and designs of this collection are clear and classic, in true Nancy Halvorsen style.  A traditional sampler quilt pattern is the perfect partner for the collection.

  This sampler quilt begins with eight different pieced 12" blocks which surround four appliquéd blocks.  The 12 blocks are sashed and set on point.  Each setting corner features a small appliquéd bud.  A striking ribbon border completes this beautiful design.

The finished quilt measures 67" x 79"

 

10 months, $20 per month 

 
 
 
 
  Back to Nature, from Wing & A Prayer Designs
  This quilt pattern from Wing & A Prayer Designs has nine different sampler blocks, set on point, then surrounded by log cabin blocks.

Our block of the month features a new collection from Timeless Treasures, Back to Nature.  A few of the fabrics from this beautiful collection are pictured below - including the floral stripe that is perfect for the outer border.

This is a must-see-in-person block of the month!  Two of the blocks are on display in the shop now.  We hope you'll stop by soon to see how beautiful this block of the month quilt will be!

A Tisket, A Tasket - A Mystery BOM Hand Embroidery Club

This block of the month from Bunny Hill Designs features 12 months of "mystery baskets", done in hand embroidery.  We will begin with the October basket - which is still a mystery!  (The September basket is pictured at right.)

This block of the month is also the first project for our new hand embroidery club, the French Knots of Keepsake Cottage, which will meet on the third Thursday of

  each month, beginning October 15, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am.  At the first club meeting, Kay will provide a supply list.  At subsequent meetings, receive a mystery basket pattern, helpful hand embroidery tips from Kay, and make new friends.  There are three baskets displayed in the shop, each one in a different color way:  redwork, bluework, and a multi-color basket to help you decide which color way you would like to choose.  (Note, the background fabric and embroidery floss are not included in the class fee.)    Finished size is (about) 40" x 49".  $10 per month, 12 months.

Stop by to see our "mystery" baskets.  And, we hope you will be one of the first members of our new hand embroidery club, the French Knots of Keepsake Cottage!
