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!

Andree, that is so sweet! I love your colors, and the way you handled the heart is charming. I am in awe of your half-size work; just the thought of handling such small pieces makes me break out in a cold sweat.

What method did you use to produce such slender bias stems?

March assignment is almost done - only missing the little squares border (which will be paper pieced).

My hexies flowers are bigger (I used 1/2"), so I made the leaves a little bigger as well. And I pieced the heart using 60 degrees diamonds.

Rita, congratulations on your new machine. You may have told in another thread which model you got, but I don't have time to read everything these days, so please tell me. Your house quilt is adorable

Debbie, I am loving my new machine. I just made a car-tidy bag from fabric scraps and it sewed all the seams without a murmur or complaint. But I still have a lot to learn so I am a little scared still. :unsure: My Janome had started to complain if it had to go over more than 2 seams at a time. I also couldn't use the single hole stitch plate converter as it kept breaking needles and the contraption itself so I ended up doing all FMQ with the wider opening. It's a design flaw for which I feel anybody with a Janome Horizon should have been sent a free alternative needle plate, like that would happen, Ha! It's still a great machine for quilting so it will be my backup. The decorative stitches on the Bernina are much better and the elongation of stitches is so much better. And that extra large bobbin is fantastic! Also, getting a warning when the bobbin is running out is great. Overall, very happy so far. But ask me again in a years time. :lol:

Rita your mini BOM wallhanging is beautiful. A very special gift for your sister.

How do you like your Bernina as compared to your Janome?

Gorgeous, Rita! I love the colors and all the clever ways you adapted this to make it your own. Is that cording about the nine-patch edges? Nice touch!

And your quilting is lovely. I really like the looping darker color that teases the flowers and vine border.
