In "Summer's End," the barn swallows dart among the sunflowers as if to quickly catch the last golden rays of summer on the farm!
Choose from the "Quilt-as-you-Go" block to make our big heirloom quilt, "In-The-Hoop" block to make fully finished blocks suitable for other uses, or buy the Barn Swallows only for your own project inspiration.
Quilt-as-You-Go:
Make a gorgeous block completely quilted in-the-hoop each month... save up your creations for the end of the year, when we'll add border pieces and you can complete your masterpiece by hand stitching them together. We're planning thirteen birds for our on point quilt, but you can take however many you have finished by end of the year, and make a fabulous, finished project! 5," 6," 7," and 8" sizes included with instructions.
All-in-The-Hoop
This is the same design, but with a satin stitch border added around the edges, so all you'll need to do is to zig zag stitch them together. It is also quilted in the hoop.
Bird Only
If you just love birds as we do, you may buy the design only, no quilting, with a color chart. Use it for your own project inspiration. Design provided for 5x7, 6x10, and 7x12 hoops.
