A Hover of Hummingbirds. This hummingbird quilt is sure to bring magic to any room. It’s an exciting new take on the traditional Dresden Plate quilt. Pair it with a giant fat eighth bundle or simplify with a smaller fat quarter bundle…no matter what you choose, it’s a great way to show off your favorite fabric collection! This 14 page pattern includes full-color instruction on the appliqué and traditional piecing used to create the quilt top. Paper templates are also included for circles and Dresden wedges. This pattern covers a broad range of sizes including: Pillow (27″ square) Baby (43″ x 67″ – this will also fit a toddler bed perfectly!) Throw (67″ square) Twin (58″ x 100″) Queen (100″ square) and King (116″ square). When making a King, check with your long-armer to see if she can accommodate that size.

These Dresdens have 36 petals to a complete plate so the Creative Grids 10 Degree triangle works perfectly and makes cutting a breeze.

This 12 month Block of the month pattern comes packaged in a durable plastic envelope with handy divider tabs to keep you organized all year long. It boasts 72 full-color pages and full-sized templates. This BOM is intended to build new skills throughout 12 unique blocks. 

Experienced quilters will stay interested as the pace changes each month while newer quilters will tackle three new skills and reinforce them throughout the year. These skills include curved piecing, bias tape appliqué, and foundation paper piecing. Each skill starts with an easy block and works up to a more advanced block during the course of this program. The Potting Table quilt is perfect to kick of spring or get your customers through the cold winter. It also appeals to a broad audience of quilters including gardeners. This quilt finishes at a generous twin size (60” x 90”) and can easily be adjusted to a throw size by removing a row (the leftover blocks make fantastic accent pillows).

The Potting Table Shop Manual includes everything you need to plan, order, and create samples for your Block of the Month program. This shop manual comes packaged in a durable plastic envelope with handy divider tabs to keep you organized, just like your customer patterns will! This shop manual boasts 76 full-color pages to get you set up for BOM success: Browse and create samples with all 12 patterns and full sized templates, check out fabric swatches, bolt counts, kit cutting charts, add on sales, and even plan your own fabric selections with a coloring page.
