Star Flower & Nine Patch

Primitive need not be dark colors. I designed this wall quilt using vivid primary colors of red, blue and butter yellow.

I based this design on a vintage quilt and thought this the perfect design for beginning appliquérs and piecers. You will create a piece of folk art by adding a 9” Nine Patch border around the 36” square filled with simple shaped tulips, buds and starflowers.

A New Nation & Daughter of Liberty 
Quilt Size: 44" x 44"

These two simple projects compliment each other beautifully, and the patriotic images of early America remind us that freedom must be protected.

Our great nation was created by brave, wise men and women who struggled for freedom from England and that shaped the Constitution and the Bill of Rights so that all Americans rights and beliefs would be protected. Abigail Adams held strong beliefs in the rights of women, and implored her husband John Q. Adams to “remember the ladies” in the writing of the Constitution.

The three roses and eagles represent the three branches of government, the flag buds represent the thirteen colonies that joined arms in resisting the English, the woven vase represents the Daughters of Liberty who spun and wove their own textiles.

Anna's Homestead
72" x 75"

Released as a companion pattern to the book, "Quilts & Stories from the Peace Creek Homestead", this quilt depicts nine scenes of prairie life as it must have been for Terry’s great-great grandmother, Anna Elizabeth Clothier.

Large pieces make it easy even for a beginning appliquer. Each scene could be used as a still life picture or the middle of a wall quilt with pieced blocks around the picture. The block in the top left corner is called "Claire's Chickens" after my grand-daughter Claire Elizabeth Thompson.

Victoria's Crown
84" x 84" 

I would like to introduce you to "Victoria's Crown", a new pattern based on a wonderful 1845 appliqued quilt. There are nine applique blocks plus wonderful quilting designs. Eight of the 24" blocks contain Queen Victoria's Crown center, and two different and very original flowers and leaves. Victorian's Crown is a folk art approach to the album quilts of the 1840's. Each applique is larger than the typical Baltimore shapes, therefore, it is easier for beginners yet a challenge for advanced appliquers.

The patterns are drawn full size with a good photo of each block for color placement. Each pattern contains instructions for three methods of applique, directions for the Victoria's Crown and placement of the appliques, and suggestions for the quilt designs.

Pretty Prairie
70" x 82"

Satisfying the spirit with objects from nature was as important as satisfying the body with wholesome food. Pioneer women brought bouquets of wildflowers into their homes and placed the flowers in vases and baskets that had outlived their usefulness. Little girls pressed flowers in books to preserve their color for the winter months when there were no flowers blooming in the yard. Dried cattails and bittersweet added interest to the drab sod houses.

“Pretty Prairie” contains nine (18” x 22”) appliquéd blocks, each one featuring a picture of life on the prairie. The designs reflect a primitive appliquéd style that may be sewn by hand or machine techniques. The designs are simple and guarantee success for beginning appliquérs.
