February 13, 2015 Mid February Snippets New Block of the Month from "Homespun" Magazine! I have started this Block of the Month from "Homespun" magazine. It's called "China Shop", designed by Kathy Doughty and Kaffe Fassett! It is a 10 month program. The whole quilt is gorgeous! This is the center medallion. This is our display. Pages from the magazine and my first of two vase blocks. Detail of the flowers in Vase Block #1 Yes they are hexies! English paper piecing is fun and addictive! I used a few helpers... Tag board pre-cut hexies! And Hex-Essentials These are perfect for fussy cutting the Kaffe fabrics for the flowers and these are designed by Kathy Doughty of Material Obesession. Now Kathy and Homespun magazine are from Australia, but Waterwheel House is carrying the magazines and complete kits for the whole quilt! You can call the shop to order 802-824-5700 or check the website to order. Call if you have any questions. Here is Vase #2 I still need to stitch down all of the hexie flowers. I am only hand stitching the hexie flowers and will use fusible applique for the rest of the quilt. Here is the flower detail... The actual pattern calls for Spot in Hydrangea for the backgrounds of each block. I have used Spot in Chalk for my blocks. You will have that choice! You can also choose to buy the magazine digitally through Zinio. Or we will have hard copies available at the shop and through our website. A few new books... Very interesting !
