When you’ve been a quilter for a while, you somehow collect a bookshelf full of quilting books that have a project or two for your “to do” list. Folk Art Favorites, is a book that has so many great projects, that every turn of the page makes another addition to that list!
First on my list is A Warm Welcome. This quilt that combines two of my favorite things--saltbox houses and pineapples. The pineapples, which are the traditional symbol of welcome and hospitality, are easily pieced and then embellished with wool and buttons. The houses are also pieced, and the sashing has randomly placed flying geese. The vintage look is completed with a wonderful large print floral border. Yup, gotta do this one!
Next is the series of seasonal door banners. Since my décor changes with the seasons at home, these too are a must do! Each one has a saltbox house with greetings for each season, a bundled up snowman for winter, cheerful flowers for spring, fireworks and flags for summer, and a sunflower and pumpkin for fall. Each is machine pieced and appliquéd, and has special added embellishments with rickrack, buttons and metallic threads.
While flowers are not usually my thing, the cover quilt called He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, looks like fun. The brightly colored Gerbera daisies with their big button centers just bring a smile. They are machine appliquéd, and are set together with brightly colored pieced sashing and a polka-dot border.
Another favorite is the wall hanging called My Best Sampler. It combines easy to sew units, a touch of appliqué and a wonderful flying geese outer border that frames the quilt. There is a touch of Americana, some traditional quilt blocks and another version of the saltbox house.
This book of favorites wouldn’t be complete without a project for Christmas. The Pomegranate Christmas quilt and pillow are just stunning in the rich red and gold fabrics the gals used. The pomegranates are machine appliquéd and alternate with pieced squares to make up the quilt. There are instructions for a new take on pillow shams that complete the look for the holidays.
So, I’ll be gathering my fabrics, going through Grandma’s button box, and sitting down at my new sewing machine to get started on warming my home with some Folk Art Favorites.
