WHO LET THE DOGS OUT By Wendy Williams Wendy Williams lets the dogs run wild in this bright, quirky quilt! A must-have project for all dog lovers – you’re sure to have fun including your own cute canines. With a long-held fascination for ‘house’ quilts, Wendy knew she was on to something when she found this amusing dog print. One thing led to another and soon they were out of their kennels and onto the roof – and up the walls!

 

FRONDESCENCE By Nic Bridges As they are a symbol of happiness in the Chinese culture, Nic Bridges likes to believe her leaves will leave you blissful. The strong leaf image also represents the passing of time in many cultures and this meaning makes it an ideal heirloom quilt. Nic used both the positive and negative of the appliqué leaf design to create a striking effect and adds this to her collection of work that always seems to return to a happy place.

 

A FOR ADAMINABY By Ruth Buchanan This charming wall-hanging is the first quiltlet in the series designed by Ruth Buchanan especially for AP&Q readers. Adaminaby is a country town in the eastern Australian states of New South Wales. Ruth used a range of blue reproduction fabrics but you could use a collection in your favourite hue – red, green, subtle browns and creams- the options are endless. Maybe it’s time to put those hand-dyes to good use or play with a colourwash of florals.

 

FAIR AND SQUARE By Jacky Hens After spotting this delicious collection of crisp, fresh-looking fabrics, Jacky Hens came up with the perfect design to showcase their splendour – and her charming quilt is a testament to the simplicity of it as it makes the fabrics the stars. Now it’s time to pull out that much-loved fabric stash you’ve been saving for a rainy day and create your very own Fair and Square.
