On shelves now is the
January 2023 issue
of American Quilter.
The digital issue is now
available for purchase
HERE.
I am SO excited to finally
have this design out in the world:)
and in one of my favorite
color combinations!
waiting for me to get my
butt in gear as they sat
patiently for years in this fun
monogram bag given to me by
my friend, Susan!
The daisy inspiration came
from these ca 1970 home items,
(match tin & recipe card box)
which were found while treasure
hunting with same sweet friend!
All the fabrics cut and
awaiting assembly into
one of the cutest and
easiest blocks in quilting.
The Churn Dash is so
versatile and easy to
chain piece while watching
your favorite movie on a
chilly winter day!
Once your blocks are done,
stitch them into the
appropriate rows,
pinning at seams.
The perfection of this
design is that you only
have to make half the blocks
needed because the other
half of the quilt is done
in negative space:)
That negative area
is the airy space for
our daisies!
Using a teflon pressing sheet
to assemble to full flowers,
allows the daisies to be
auditioned on the
assembled background
before fusing in place.
They can be put anywhere
you would like them!
I chose a gold variegated
thread that matched my
centers to stitch my
petal edges down.
I thought it may help
them stand out against
the background a bit.
Use black if you want
more differentiation or
white for less.
So many ways to go:)
Look at how awesome
the AQS staging pic is!!
THANK YOU, AQS, for
again, choosing to
publish my imagination:)
