FANTASTIC SPORT QUILTS

A picnic essential! Backpack Quilts features small quilts that fold out from the attached backpack. Choose from several variations: pre-printed panel, rail fence, and basic block. This is a beginner-friendly project that advanced sewers will enjoy as well.

Spring is the perfect time of year to work on Scraps of Our Past. Try one or fall in love with them all. The first block, Pansy, makes a delightful wall hanging all by itself! Pattern 12 includes instructions for completing the entire quilt (88" x 98").

Basic patchwork combined with machine applique. The Road Home is a heartwarming accent for your home. If you like this pattern, be sure to see other great patterns on our Kathy Schmitz page.

Turn your favorite yard of fabric into a stylish apron. One-Yard Apron is a quick project that can be completed from just one yard and makes a great hostess gift! Pattern also includes a child size.
