My Japanese Garden Wall Art
When quilter Heather McArthur was a girl, her family provided a short-term homestay to a Japanese high school student named Ako. Heather recalls Ako as a quiet and gracious young woman, and when Ako left, she gifted Heather with a lovely Japanese Yukata (a summer-weight kimono), which she has kept and treasured all these years. This Japanese Garden Wall Art project was inspired by the gifted Yukata. This issue’s theme provided the perfect opportunity to finally cut into the lovely floral cotton fabric. Heather uses the hexagon shape for the blocks as it reminds her of paving tiles in a Japanese garden, and the sashiko flowers float like lilies in a Koi pond. Includes instructions, photos, and flower template; also includes Heather McArthur’s article about Japanese fabrics, Quilting with Japanese Fabrics – What You Need to Know. Finished Size is approximately 28” x 18” [71 x 46cm]
Note: The size of the finished wall art will be determined by the layout of the blocks. Yours may be different from mine, depending on how you choose to lay out your finished blocks.

On the Other Side of the Picket Fence Wall Quilt
A row of Gerber daisies pops up above the picket fence to say hello! Appliqué, piecing, curved checkerboard piecing, thread play, and colour wash are exciting quilting methods used to make this sunny wall quilt. This quilted piece has a pieced background with green at the bottom behind the fence moving into the blue for the sky. It has a colour wash effect, and the sky is a curved checkerboard pieced design.

Give Thanks Table Runner
Quilter Elaine Theriault stitched out her expression of gratitiude from an embroidery file she designed in the mySewnet Embroidery Software, a software with over 246 fonts and the ability to create additional fonts. Elaine then played with the shape of the word ‘thanks’ and created a mirrored motif rather than have the word stand out by itself. What’s not to love about the subtle look!
