Block of the Month
"Garden Party"
© Helen Cairns 2006
2006 will be the first complete year for PNQ Online.
To celebrate, I've designed a special year long BOM project, that's sure to tempt you. There's even a special prize for one lucky quilter!
“Garden Party” is the 2006 PNQ Online Block of the Month project. This special wall-hanging consists of a delightful collection of nine nature-inspired appliqué blocks. The garden designs include a range of cottage-garden flowers, insects and garden tools, all “blessed” by a very cute garden angel. The monthly patterns for this FREE BOM project will be emailed directly to PNQ Online subscribers during the first week of each month between March and November, 2006.

You'll love this delightful cottage garden wall-hanging, complete with a very cute garden angel. If you enjoy gardening and "naive applique stitchery" then this project is sure to tempt you. It is perfect for a beginner but equally enjoyable for a more experienced quilter to enjoy month by month.
There are nine "fusible web applique" blocks in this Garden Party series. Each month between March and November 2006, you will be sent the design for a new quilt block. At the end of the year, you will have a delightful naive applique wall-hanging to display in your home or to give as a gift to a friend.
Here is a "sneak preview" of the first block in the series!
