Come Said the Wind Pattern

I am back!!!!

Who would have thought that vestibular nueritis could take so long to heal.  I particularly appreciated my physical therapists that specialize in balance/dizzyness issues.  They not only had me working on basic balance and visual exercises, but gave me a number of items to work on to simulate some of my skating and ice dancing moves.  Although I am not yet at 100%, I am functioning and am very thankful for that.  

Back to quilting.  

Fall is in the air and I am excited to promote my pattern "Come Said the Wind".  The pattern is centered around a poem/old children's song.  There are two sizes (both wall hangings).  The smallest could also be used as a placemat.

Come Said the Wind 33 x 33

Come Said the Wind 15 x 12

Do you prefer batiks or civil war for fall quilts?  I couldn't decide so I needed to do one of each.

The blocks in the quilt are "small" --- but really cute.  The maple leaf finishes to 3 inch and the Sycamore leaf to 4-1/4 inch.  However, don't be intimidated by the size.  There are lots of tips to ensure successful piecing of the project.

I provide instructions for using a number of specialty rulers/tools.  These tools are optional.  Instructions are also included for the traditional rulers.

Optional Specialty Rulers:

• Perfect Corner Ruler™ by Forever in Stitches, LLC
• Deb Tucker’s Tucker Trimmer 1™  by Studio 180 Design
• Deb Tucker’s Corner Beam™ by Studio 180 Design
• Deb Tucker’s Square2™ by Studio 180 Design

A number of people asked me how I created the center panel (with the poem).  Instructions are in the pattern -- but I also wanted to provide a video.  

I also have a free handout explaining the technique.  

These free pdf files of the verse are also available for Come Said the Wind pattern.

• Large wallhanging.  Set paper size to 12" x 18".  Run a test copy before printing on fabric and measure to make sure poem will fit in finished cut piece of 17-1/2" x 9".  This will only work on a large carriage printer.
  
• Small wallhanging.  Run a test copy before printing on fabric.  Outside lines should be 6-1/2" x 9-1/2".  Print on letter paper.

The full pattern can be purchased through the Shopping Section of my website.  Because I am excited to be back blogging again, I thought I would offer a sale on the pattern.  It will be $7 (regularly $10) for the next week.

Happy quilting.
