Quilters' Corner
The patterns shown here were designed for use as quilted wall hangings, but could easily be adapted to suit a wealth of other craft projects. The "stained glass" look is achieved using a flat narrow black nylon or polyester cord referred to here as lead line. If you'd like to see what it looks like click on the "Help" link below. If you're not familiar with the technique click on the "How To" link for some very basic instruction.
Patterns are all full size and include a complete list of fabric amounts and other materials needed to complete them. FABRICS ARE NOT INCLUDED!
I also offer a packet of border designs, which can either be applied to a project of your own choosing or used in conjunction with any one of my patterns.
ALL PRICES SHOWN INCLUDE SHIPPING & HANDLING Patterns are shipped using USPS First Class and turn around time is generally 5-7 days from when your order is received.

A note about fabric choices for these designs...
Originally our designs were shown using marbled fabrics, a terrific choice if you have some on hand but certainly not the ONLY choice! We have altered most of our design images to reflect a wider, more generalized selection of fabrics.
These designs work very well with any fabric print as long as the pattern is fairly small (little flowers, swirls, etc) and the color is fairly uniform throughout.
Colors shown are intended just as suggestions - don't feel tied to them!
Faerie Lights - $11.50
