Country Hearts was the first Block of the Month that I designed so it has a very special place in my heart. It was in 2003 and the fact that it was very successful gave me the courage to continue the journey on my own. The prairie girls in the first row and the love birds in row 5 still make me smile.
The second country quilt I designed had an Australian flavour with the outback style house and barbed wire fence in the bottom row.
I chose a block from this quilt to make into a wall hanging, showing how to use elements of a pattern to create something new.
Then I decided to try my hand at a pretty, feminine quilt with easy piecing and some sweet applique and stitching so Bluebird Cottage was created. We sold it as a pattern and kit very successfully for many years. It is still available as a pattern now because pretty floral fabrics NEVER go out of fashion, do they.
I am really enjoying my walks down memory lane and re-visiting some of my first quilts for Patchwork Pumpkin.
Happy Stitching till next time
