NEW - APRIL BANNER OF THE MONTH .... Stormy Weather......and a WINNER!!!!-

A little stormy weather doesn't bother Sunbonnet Sue. She's prepared! Here she is in our latest pattern offering....soon to make its appearance in our sales room. 

April Banner of the Month


Sunbonnet Sue knows "April showers bring May flowers!" In her mind, they're already blooming. This block, basically, a log cabin, is very easy to make, as are all of the blocks we include in our applique patterns.



The rain is coming down.....raining cats and dogs....well, dogs, anyway......


....but even her pooch is protected from the deluge!


On she goes....promises to keep. 

Our banner patterns include instructions for fusible web applique but you can do them any way you please. This sample was sewn with the web and machine appliqued.


Just right for our recent stormy weather!

Again, Joan, over at Moose Stash Quilting has done herself proud, testing our patterns. Thank you so much, Joan, for another gorgeous sample.

And on another note:

A little dust storm called a Haboob came through last week. Haboob is an Arabic word originally describing sand storms in the Sudan. It is pronounced hay-boob. As was the case last week. the Haboob preceded a thunder storm. You can read more about it here

And on a final note:

  It's time for a drawing and someone has won their choice of a Prairie Cottage Corner pattern!

And the winner is:  Linda H.

Congratulations, Linda

New Pattern - Winter Sports Wall Hanging

 Take advantage of all the Christmas In July fabrics now and make this cute little wall hanging.


It's simple, easy and quick with instructions for fusible web applique.



And an easy, old, snowball block. What could be more simple? 




Sue and her puppy out for a skate.





Easy shapes and pieces. Sounds great, doesn't it, when the temperature is reading 90 degrees in the shade!



"Stay cool", says Sue.

You can buy this pattern as a pdf download or a physical pattern on my Etsy site.

And, when you have a moment, go on over and tell Joan, at Moose Stash Quilting, she did a great job for us on our first sample of this pattern! We love you, Joan. You're the best! Thank you.

End of the Week and New Patterns

I'm giving you all a sneak peak at some new patterns coming down the road.  It's the end of the week here on the prairie.  We got sunburned weeding the garden earlier this week, discovered a family of skunks living under our neighbor's storage shed, and managed to get some finished quilts photographed properly, for a change.  It's quite hot today and will be in the 100's by Sunday (humidity about 12%).

Here's the first pattern, for Christmas.  This is just the computer version of it but the yardage and cutting instructions are all done.  It's called "Santa Claus" (isn't that original?), for now.




And another pattern, for Autumn, called, for now, "Harvest Time".  This may be three patterns in one, what do you think?  Again, this is just the drawing.....not the finished sample, yet.  



I'm sorry to have to mess these up a little with the copyright.  I'm supposed to have a watermark on them but haven't finished the confirmation on that yet.  Should be done in a couple of days, though.

Time to stop working, though, and put the feet up for a while.  Thinking about what to fix for the weekend meals to keep everyone going forward and happy.  Hmmmm.......tomorrow, we'll cook something together, eh?  I've been thinking of a bean salad and/or maybe Chile Rellenos.

The Last Rose of Summer Wall Hanging Pattern
 


You can see this pattern at Prairie Cottage Corner. Here's Sue and her kitty picking the last roses of the season in a darling wall hanging made from rose fabric panels. This is a fast and easy applique project.

Have a look at our latest new offerings: "Strawbonnet Sue" and "Southern Sue". These two quilt patterns are just what you have been seeking for the young lady on your Christmas list. It's not too late to start and finish such a quilt! Or make it up into a kit and give it to your Secret Santa Sister in your local quilt guild.

Any rose fabric will do for the panels.

Happy Stitching!

Welcome "Sue For All Seasons"

The drawings for "A Sue for all Seasons" were done several years ago. Since then, I've offered them as a BLOCK OF THE MONTH from time to time.

Now, for the first time, they are offered in a small medallion quilt format just 46" x 46". The center block in the pattern is a simple nine-patch. The center block is actually a great place to hang a calendar, if the quilt is to be used as a wall-hanging.

You can purchase the pattern for $12 on my site at http://www.prairiecottagecorner.com or http://www.prairiecottagecorner.com/html Just follow the links to the Catalog.

My Sue-sister quilters all around the country who share quilts and projects are so creative. They are experts at finding ways to place Sue in the most interesting quilt designs and layouts. I hope any who have already made this little quilt or who will, in future, buy the pattern, will write to me and show me how you used "Sue for all Seasons". I'll post your pictures here, gladly. The same goes for any of my other quilt and craft patterns.

Beginners should try this quilt. The applique technique using double sided fusible webbing and a hand buttonhole stitch almost guarantees success. Some of the elements of the applique seem tiny in the picture and they are small, when you consider cutting and fusing and stitching them. However, for years, I have used embroidery to fashion the smallest elements of my Sue blocks. The pattern gives instructions for all the basic embroidery stitches you will need. Places where embroidery is useful include hatbands, flowers, shoes, the pets, and any other small details that need emphasis. Prairie Stitcher

Christmas Sunbonnet Sue

Here's another of the Sues from the Christmas Sue wall hanging, the pattern for which is at http://www.PrairieCottageCorner.com Just follow the link to the Catalog to see the whole piece. There are 4 different Sues in the quilt and wall hanging. Each is an angel like this one but each one holds something different: a heart for love; a wand for Christmas magic; one star to light a single candle; five stars to light up the sky. This block was done by hand: cotton fabric with Wonder-under and a button-hole or blanket stitch to finish the edges. Sweet little Sue. Always trying to do something good for someone else! Happy stitching, everyone.
