B. Annie Quilt Pattern Book

A Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Book

Every Quilt Has a Story

B. Annie Quilt Pattern is all about ME! I don’t say that a lot.

B. Annie at the Etsy Shop
B. Annie in Print and eBook

This Quilt started with a simple Bear Paw quilt block and then drawing and drawing sixteen quilt blocks that took that simple block and made all sixteen mine. The quilt as always going to have white background, I love quilt lines on white fabric, pink of course that’s me, adding color with greens, red, in both solids and prints. The outside border is pieced with green square and triangle leaves.

Have you ever made a quilt and as each quilt block is finished you giggle at what you just did? This is how I felt as this quilt was going together, into a finished eighty-eight by eighty-four-inch quilt. Kind of Perfect.

That’s my B. Annie quilt all about ME! Should say that more, one of my faults? Maybe it’s just taking care of so many.

But this quilt is ME and MINE! B. Annie Quilt

The Ladies Quilt Pattern Book

The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Book

The Ladies

The Ladies Quilt Pattern started early on in my quilt designing. I love sampler quilts, I draw and draw quilt blocks. Some are the classic ones and some are the ones I designed and like.

When I was designing and planning this quilt, I was home day after day. I would spend entire days piecing quilt blocks. Kind of my heaven and there are 68 quilt blocks in this quilt book/pattern. Husband worked twelve-hour days, six days a week. And I seemed to be able to be content and happy in my world of quilt blocks.

The thing that took The Ladies to the next level was the trip to the fabric shop. I was always hoping to own a shop,(dream) any way, I knew the blue fabric was right when I saw it. Purchasing fabric is kind of a sport to me and I do it ALL the time. Knowing the blue was going to be the base and pop color of the quilt I purchased about 5 yards. Way more than would be needed. But…more is more. The additional colors, pink, green and the blue pattern were from my scrap closet that I had on hand. With this quilt I figured out each blocks colors as I pieced it, but not each quilt block as it would be put together into the quilt. And/or what quilt block would be placed next to each other. See one of The Ladies, quilt patterns.

The Ladies quilt blocks were featured on my site and after completing them all, the quilt pattern was finished added to Etsy as a PDF and NOW in Amazon as a printed book and eBook.

Of course, The Ladies, are really my Quilt Ladies and me.

From The Quilt Ladies Book

!2 Quilt Stories, 15 Quilt Patterns

Excerpt from my Book “The Quilt Ladies”
Available on Kindle and in Print

“Life was just too hard to deal with and even harder at two in the morning. All I had were my own thoughts. A needle and thread made things just a little better.”

The Story continues:

Mary Alice returned with the coffee and found that
Helen had finished a total of three two patches. “Hope you don’t mind, but
these cookies looked good. Great for coffee dunking.”

Helen’s mind was working. Now her body needed a little help, too. As Helen had her coffee and three cookies, they talked. Mary Alice showed her how to unfold the sewn square and draw another ¼ inch line from the top on the wrong side of the fabric. (How to quilt)

“Take this piece and add to the back of it another one just like it, good fabric to good fabric. Place it seam to seam and stitch them together.” Mary Alice did one as Helen ate.

They talked and sewed all afternoon. Helen did not need to put the line on the fabric any more, and a rhythm had started with her stitches.

“There is no wrong way or right way of quilting, just your way.”

When they spread out their work, they had finished ten, four patch squares. Mary Alice showed Helen how she could put them together, one after another, or place a solid fabric in between. Helen’s eyes were dancing as she looked at her work. She had finished a row, putting one after another.

“I like to sit by a window with the sun light or a lamp, put my feet up and get comfortable for some serious sewing.”

Two quilts are featured in Book Two, RoadWay 94” x
110” is a quilt that Teresa made for her boys as a road to drive cars and
Square Doll Quilt 17” x 21” using small squares.
