Janet Clare - Wildflowers Appliqué Quilt Book

$39.00

One of the pleasures of walking our dog Betty is stumbling across a little patch of vivid red poppies you were not expecting to see or planning a trip to try and find (with numb toes!) the first snowdrops of the season.
Picnics in our ‘secret’ bluebell wood are an annual fragrant treat as is sitting in the park making daisy chains. Even a traffic jam on the motorway can be vastly improved by careful study of the greenery growing untroubled along the verges.

We are surrounded not by weeds, but by wildflowers so let’s admire them all and help them to thrive. 
This beautiful pattern book features 12 intricately detailed wildflower blocks, paired with a traditional Irish chain block to create a stunning quilt:
Double-page spread for each flower, with original sketches, paintings, field notes and detailed photos of the quilt blocks 
showing Janet’s fabric selections and use of free-motion stitching and embroidery embellishments
Full size templates for 12 wild flowers

Detailed instructions including:
- A guide on using the flower templates, cutting your fabric, preparing and using the fusible appliqué
- Creating a traditional and versatile Irish Chain block
