It's been a very busy few weeks around Sentimental Stitches. I'm sorry if you've had to wait a little longer for your order or this month's fabric packets for the 1857 Album Quilt. I tried to plan my time but family always comes first around here.
There was a wedding! Our son Kevin was married on June 11th and we couldn't be happier for him and his new bride, Lynne. The day was practically perfect in every way as my Grandmother used to say.

This quilt pattern is an interpretation of the King George III Coverlet dated 1803. Permission was granted from the V&A Museum in London to make this quilt.
The blocks are 6 3/4" each and there are 16 different blocks, repeated twice each in the center of the quilt. The center block represents a formal garden that may be found at an English Castle and the applique surrounding the center blocks are florals, fruits and herbs that were used often for daily needs. The quilt pattern includes 25 patterns to make this stunning quilt.

You'll be reaching for these more than you can imagine. Making blocks with these templates is addictive! Use them for hand or machine piecing - scissors or rotary cutting. You won't want to be without these little gems. Each piece is labeled for easy reference.

This quilt is 72" square and is perfect for a lap quilt, bed topper or a wall hanging.
It was inspired by a few wool rugs that I own. It will fit right on the top of a king sized bed along the edge of the mattress or would look wonderful on the diagonal, draping off of the sides on a smaller bed.
The background is cotton and the pennies and applique are both cotton and wool. The center is constructed with 16 blocks, making it very easy to stitch the pennies by hand.
