Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month journey into the land of childhood memory with a charming quilt designed especially for TQS by internationally-known Australian designer Lynette Anderson. Lynette combines simple, unpretentious folk art style appliqué motifs with patchwork blocks for a quilt that will be lots of fun to make. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. We will once again be offering monthly companion teaching videos as well. It all makes for a year of fun and learning!
Finished by portion Friday night ahead of schedule. Love it when that happens. My hexi's are a little bigger than 1/2 sizes so my leaves are also. I got the leaf template from a Debbie Mumm book. My heart is a log cabin instead of the crazy patch. Not a fan of crazy quilting. Happy with the results.
Bring on April!

Thank you
for the lovely comments - you are all so sweet!
'A Kittens Tale' is an older pattern from 2008, so that nobody is carrying BOM kits any more. But I was fortunate to find a retailer with the patterns, which are in color yay. I picked fabrics from shabby fabrics.com that felt similar in hue and value. These soft blues and browns make me smile.
The method for stitching skinny bias strips was also a part of Kathy Kansier's class at Houston last fall, but I had forgotten all about it so am grateful to be reminded!

I think I first learned this method in the "dark ages" ie the '80s.....but like so many other
techniques I use....I've forgotten where I might have learned it !

Hi Andree - I've taken classes with Debbie Kemball and I think what you describe is the same way she does a doubled-curved stem. Here's a few little chocolate chips, not sure if they are half-sized, but they are small. Enough to share with the other half-sized gals! You can eat as many as you want!
