So Far in 2022

Time flies when you move cross country, after packing up everything you've accumulated from living in the same place for 23 years. The quilts are finally unpacked, folded and put away or displayed, and in the past month I've even been able to do some stitching, which is a great feeling!

 

Last month Martingale Publishing released The Big Book of  Favorite Scrap Quilts:

 

And in it you'll find the pattern for my quilt, "Hill Country" 

 

"Hill Country" by Martha Walker

. . . along with a ton of other great scrap quilt designs to choose from. Here is just a sample of one of the quilts that caught my eye from the book:

"Halloween-ish" by Susan Ache

The new Simply Vintage magazine, Spring 2022, is also just out

. . . and I'm excited to have a punchneedle embroidery project included in this issue:

"1841 Pencil Box" by Martha Walker

 

I used beautiful Valdani 3 strand embroidery floss to punch the 1841 Pencil Box design. 

Spring is finally close at hand, birds are feathering their nests, and I will continue feathering my own nest!

Until next time,

Martha
 

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Final Assembly

 Westward Ho!

 

It's week 27, and if you've completed all the blocks A through Z for the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along, you're at your final destination, and ready to assemble your sampler quilt!

 

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler

Along with putting your blocks together and adding borders, you'll also want to prepare your binding so that it's ready to go after your quilt is quilted.

 

I have my binding ready to go and I'll be using Aurifil Mako 50 weight color 2910 to hand stitch the binding to the back of the quilt, which is a perfect match for my green binding fabric.

 

 

I hope you've enjoyed making the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler as much as I did. And I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with you! Please feel free to post any photos you may have, either work in progress, or your final quilt on Facebook or Instagram and tag your post #prairiepatchworkquiltalong! I would love to see your work!

 

The instructions to download and print below will be 7 pages long.
