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!

Barb, love your cats block--are those your own choice in fabrics? I really like how those colors combine. Kudos to you if you chose the fabrics!

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 ! :P :silly: :S

Cute cats Barb, and very nicely done.

I learned the same method from Deborah Kemball - but not in person. I learned it from her gorgeous book 'Beautiful Botanicals'.

Hi Terrie, I learned that from Debbie Kimball as well.

Thanks for the chocolate!

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!
