Annabelle's Garden 17" x 17" Beautiful! Gayle picked up this pattern in Houston and made it for herself. We can now offer it as a very nice little project. It is a mixture of wool appliqué, embroidery and piecing. This designer often includes small buttons with her patterns but she hasn’t with this one. We are, however, looking at importing some and they will be optional. You could sew tiny buttons into the middle of every little flower. This piece really needs to be framed and Gayle has been framing some of her small pieces in wooden frames lately and they look a million dollars. $68.00 Meadowbrook Acres 24" x 30" This is one of Gayle's fabulous smaller projects using appliqué but the border does give you some piecing work and the blocks are machined together. Every block is just 6" and you could finish a block in a couple of days. Who needs paintings when your home can be decorated by pieces like this. Included in the kitset will be a Layer Cake of Jo Morton's Timeless range, the background fabric and the commercial pattern. You'll be able to complete the top, plus binding. If you prefer to use a different Layer Cake for this project, let us know and we'll change the kitset for you. $136.00 Wool Coneflower Welcome 18" x 21" There is some wool appliqué in this piece and also some patchwork with ordinary cotton. This is perhaps a good start for experimenting with wool — which by the way, is taking the quilting world by storm. $73.00 Rose Garden Twist 58" x 70" This is the most beautiful quilt design and one from many years ago — maybe 25. It is so exciting to work on but you have to be careful not to sew in a piece the wrong way or you will spoil the design of the twist. You can expect us to give you more of this quilt design as the perfect fabrics appear on the market. Obviously a border print is essential. I'm very excited to be rediscovering this wonderful design! The sewing is not difficult, you just have to keep focused and a design wall does help. $280.00 Grandmother's Garden, January 2018 06
