The Spring 2016 issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine is available now in bookstores and in quilt shops and it is GORGEOUS!
Even the cover is beautiful-- I think the fuchsia bricks and mums in the background of this picture are stunning!
Inside the pages of this yummy magazine, you'll find 16 inspiring projects that showcase a variety of materials and techniques.
And on page 94, you'll find my Home Is Where the Heart Is quilt...
Home Is Where the Heart Is is a fun and scrappy medallion quilt that features machine piecing, wool appliqué, and embroidery -- something for everyone.
There's a lot to this quilt, but when you break it down, the various blocks, embroidery, and wool appliqué are pretty simple.
Here's a close-up of the embroidery and wool appliqué. I used only the Backstitch, Lazy Daisy Stitch, and French Knots for the vine and lettering and the wool is appliquéd using embroidery floss and a Whipstitch -- fast and easy.
The complete instructions and templates for Home Is Where the Heart Is are included in the Spring 2016 issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine. Check out the PQP website too, you'll find a gallery of project photos for all of their magazines, free patterns, and more!
p.s. If you like the look of my Home Is Where the Heart Is quilt, you might want to give my Peace on Earth wall hanging a try.
It's also a skill-building project that features piecing, embroidery, and wool appliqué, and I shared the free pattern for this little quilt on my blog throughout the month of December (2015).
Happy Quilting!
