EarthWords Nature Lover’s Quilt Block
New Category for 2008
If time is at a premium and you don’t have the time or patience to make a large quilt, enter a small to medium wall hanging made with a Nature Lover’s Quilt Block pattern from EarthWords. Included with the pattern is a fabric photo and nature quote that must be incorporated in the finished entry. Let your creative juices flow and choose your own fabrics to compliment the fabric photo, optionally embellish it with beads, sequins, decorative thread, or other materials, and hand or machine quilt it to enhance the design. Current pattern choices include 4 landscape designs, 3 wildflower designs, 3 bird designs, and 3 butterfly designs (available spring 2008). Available for $8 at any EarthWords location.
