QUILT CALENDAR 2009 holds a dozen quilts from recent That Patchwork Place books, each with step-by-step directions in one wall calendar presentation. Quilts from popular designers offer color pullout instruction booklets in a combination of instructional and monthly inspiration. A powerful new calendar perfect for avid quilters.
No more hunting for the book under the fabric you are cutting. There is another bonus. Inside, you will find pattern sheets that you can tack up on the wall or bulletin board. The plasticized envelope has the materials list right on the back, plus it lists the finished block and quilt size. More patterns are coming out in packaging like dress patterns - everything in one re-sealable package. Grab your copy and start "growing" your flowers. It explains how to gather a palette of colors and the best way to put the appliqué together. It is a booklet entitled "Color-Palette Appliqué".
You could even create all four flower pieces and use them as a "four seasons" wall hanging. The instructions are clearly written and contain illustrations to help explain the written instructions. THE SEASONS IN BLOOM is one of these patterns. If you don't want to create a whole quilt, make just one of the four panels of flowers and use it as a wall hanging. These sheets contain all the information you will need to create this quilt including full sized templates of the four appliqué flower patterns and the border flowers too. There is even an "extra" included. So many ideas, so little time.
Sheila Wintle's Color Palette Applique patterns are not only absolutely beautiful, they are the best value I have found in the marketplace. Full size patterns, guidance as to value placement, and helpful instructions for choosing suitable fabrics are all included for an extremely reasonable price. I have all three of her patterns, and I eagerly await any new ones she produces.
Or, enlarge and make a large quilt. I have another similiar pattern and they are gorgeous and so easy to follow the directions. Make a gorgeous wall hanging. Will buy more of these again gladly. Jill Becker
