Quilting A Bee C's, Part 5 of 5 - Erica Michaels
Printed Paper Pattern
Are you a quilter as well as a stitcher? Or more of a wishful quilter, like me? If so, this five-part series is the perfect cross-over for you - patchwork quilt blocks and the alphabet combine for a fabulous sampler. Each block is unique, and the alphabet walks you through reminders to be amazed, kind, noble, and more.
Each chartpak in the series is one row of the sampler proceeding along in alpha order - and if you’d rather not stitch the large sampler, I’ll include charts and models to inspire you for using the individual blocks as various smalls.
Note from the designer: "Wrapping up this popular series with X,Y,Z, and a larger block for our quilting bee. That larger block has been modified just slightly for a cute outtake example. All portions of this series will continue to be available indefinitely, so anyone who thinks they might be late' need not worry!"
