A few months ago, I began teaching quilting and embroidery classes at
Pintuck & Purl, an adorable fabric and yarn shop in Exeter, NH. For most of the classes, I've created class samples for potential students to see what we will be making. This month, I taught students how to piece the Fernweh Quilt top, from the gorgeous quilt pattern by
Domestic Strata, and I recently finished my sample.
I used fabrics from the shop for my quilt---including
Cloud9 Fabrics' Cirrus Solids---basing the color palette off of
a beautiful black, peach, and apricot floral print by Carina Gardner, which I used for the backing.
I did simple straight-line quilting in light pink, and chose Cotton + Steel's Sprinkle print in black for the binding, since it complemented the front and back so nicely.
I love the graphic nature of this pattern, and would love to one day make a queen-size version for a bed.
I will next be teaching the two-part class on
April 9 and
16, and you can call or email
the shop to sign up.
