Block of the Month Quilt 2022 Garden Party Down Under by Irene Blanck with Barbara Black

(Show 3001) The 2022 Block of the Month, Garden Party Down Under, designed by Irene Blanck, was inspired by her mother’s flower garden. Barbara Black is back to share her own version of the pattern along with helpful tips for preparing Irene’s method of needle-turn appliqué method and her own fast turned-edge machine appliqué method.

It’s time for a garden party where Alex, Ricky, Barbara and a surprise ‘virtual visit’ from Irene share their gardens and what makes these personal spaces so special to them. Lastly, Barbara shows how to make beautiful and perfect machine appliqué stitches as well as options for changing the Block of the Month pattern to be more personalized. We also learn how the Sunday Sew and Sews came together and as a group made quick work of a quilt that took them 10 weeks to make.
