Every time I look at the Sew Spooky Blocks, I find something I had not noticed before. I’m amazed at the creativity of the quilt designer.
This block, called Every Which Way, makes me think of the Wizard of Oz. Did a tornado pick up this house and drop it on the witch or are the feet in the walkway a design element? I love the roof hat and wonder if the broom is just an architectural de-tail or perhaps it is functional—like the iron bars they use to hold together old homes in the east. You know they are there by the decora-tive stars on the out-side of the houses. If you live in the woods as I do, you might not be so keen on the spider and
webs, they have been terrible in the south this year, unless you are a fan of Charlotte’s web! My cats love to look out the win-dow, and I’m sure they would be happy to perch on a jack-o-lantern. Ok, enough of my musings.

A Bird’s Life Appliqué
Class
Join Paula on Saturday
August 4th for
A Bird’s Life.
This quilt uses two of Paula’s favorite tech-niques—Needle turn ap-pliqué and specialty 60-degree rulers. It’s like two classes in one!
And the quilt is totally adorable. Did you know that birds are the “in thing” these days. Decorating magazines fea-ture them extensively!
At Home with Country Quilts
At Home with Country Quilts - 13 Patchwork Patterns By Cheryl Wall.
Discover a new collection of cozy quilts in the primitive country style that made Country Comforts so popular. With her casual approach and appealing quilt patterns, Cheryl Wall in-vites quilters of all skill levels to enjoy the creative process. Cre-ate 13 homey patchwork quilts in a variety of sizes; many are accented with charming appli-qué details. Learn piecing meth-ods as well as simple techniques for cotton and wool appliqué. Make great use of your scraps in these country-style projects.
The longer I quilt, the more I am drawn to scrappy quilts. I love the warm color pallet in these quilts and the designs are so well balanced. Notice how the pieced border in this star quilt perfectly frames the stars with the checkerboard centers.
Are you drawn to primitive designs? They don’t have to be over the top to lend a
sense of whimsy to your quilts. The vase in this quilt is just a bit quirky .
Or do you prefer something with a more pronounced primitive flare? The border on this sashed nine patch is really country primitive. It’s one of my personal fa-vorites!
