Hello Spring by Sandy Gervais

Sandy says these little birds have traveled a great distance to get back to their Spring home and they need a little rest. What better place to take a rest than on a fence among the flowers. The finished size is 23 X 67 inches. The project shown features her Hello Spring fabric line from Riley Blake Designs.

Rest Stop

This table runner features 6 little peeps and is made using two 5″ Stackers. The finished size is15 x 42 inches.

Peeps

This block of the month offers six different pieced designs as well as pinwheels. Any of the blocks would look great in an individual table runner design or as a pillow for the porch swing.

Hello Spring

Sandy actually owns a wind farm so this pattern is the perfect reflection of her life. A Hello Spring fat quarter bundle will make the wind mills. Finished size: 99 X 99″ – a queen/king size.

All of these patterns are due to arrive early next month so place your orders now.

Don’t forget!  I know I mentioned this in Part One, but it bares repeating!If you are hanging them on a wall, you may want to consider using Soft and Stable for batting.  They will hang perfectly flat and add that professional touch!  It comes in several packaging options: Project Packs which include four 13 1/2 x 18 1/2 inch pieces (originally meant for place mats but perfect for minis), 1/2 yard cuts; 1 yard cuts; etc.  Why not display these packaged options next to a display of minis???
