ARTY CHOKEPATTERNS for APPLIQUÉ QUILTS
All of the following patterns have been written exclusively for use with MAGIC TEMPLATE. MAGIC TEMPLATE is a reusable iron-on transfer. It is the fastest, easiest way to get all the pieces for your quilt draw perfectly. This method is practically foolproof.
Most quilt patterns would have you make and cut out templates for each quilt piece. Then you have to draw each piece over and over on the fabric. There is no effortless way to do this often frustrating task. Why spend your precious quilting time doing such tedious work?
With MAGIC TEMPLATE, you simply place the transfer face down on the fabric and run a hot iron over it for a few seconds. Presto!! ALL the drawing of ALL the pieces can be done in a matter of minutes, not hours. As an added bonus, every piece is perfect. There is no fluctuation in design due to the fabric moving or stretching. The template can be used over and over again!!
Each pattern INCLUDES the MAGIC TEMPLATE sheets necessary to make the quilt.
KITS include hand dyed fabric for quilt top
All MAGIC TEMPLATE patterns are also available as kits. Each kit include all the fabric needed to make the quilt top. Fabrics are hand dyed by Bettie Blauser and each is original.
ORIGINAL PATTERNS
Each of these patterns can be used to either make the quilt pictured or they can be rearranged to make appliquéd borders for other quilts. The iron-on transfers can be used over and over again. This insures that all pieces are exactly the same.
The designs for these patterns came to Monica after a long dry spell. Then she had the opportunity to walk a Native American Medicine Wheel. It is customary to ask the Great Spirit for an answer to a question or a gift of knowledge before stepping onto the wheel. Design was Monica's intention. Immediately after stepping off the wheel, pictures flooded her mind and she ran to get paper to capture them. For the next 20 minutes or so, she drew spontaneously filling page after page. The following quilts are results of that gift.
ALL original patterns are easy to use and are suitable for ALL LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE.
Each pattern INCLUDES the MAGIC TEMPLATE sheets necessary to make the quilt.
