A Blackbird at Crabapple Village
Our latest flannel quilt design called A Blackbird at Crabapple Village. This quilt is stunning! The border and block background fabric is from a range called Harvest Town by Red Rooster fabrics and it just makes this quilt. The design was inspired by a very talented lady and friend Kim Growden who recently made a similar quilt at our Autumn Quilter's Gathering. The quilt uses 10 different red fabrics for houses, 5 different cream fabrics for doors and 4 different black fabrics for the roofs, all combined it gives a great overall effect, i think what tops it off is our little blackbird with a felt vine flying through the village. The finished quilt measures 47 1/2" x 62 1/2". Our kit includes all flannel fabric for the top including binding and felt and pattern, it costs $135.00 plus postage. Pattern alone is $14.50. Call in store for yours today on 0357501522
